Paddle Key Largo’s mangrove tunnels in a small group, spot fish and manatees, snorkel in clear water, and learn from local guides.

“Our family group of 5 had an awesome time on this trip! We had to wait for the rain to clear before setting off but that didn’t dampen our spirits. Our guide, Benny, was very knowledgeable and quick to point out interesting marine life & plants. We didn’t need to take our phones/cameras as he took loads of pics of us and shared them with us after the trip. Be vigilant with your bug spray & take it with you!! I definitely recommend this Mangrove Tour.”
