What people are saying about Florida Keys

Fantastic day out on the water with an opportunity to explore mangroves on kayaks (2 person) or just chill on the boat. Crew was extremely helpful in assisting us with a wheelchair user and an older family member allowing them to experience the water as well (not kayaks) One thing to note is water was a bit deeper than we were expecting (ranging from thigh high to waist high approximately) and also with a current. Not problematic, just something to be aware of, likely tide related. A bit of a challenge to get back up boat stairs as water level got higher, if you have physical limitations you may need an assist. Not intended for snorkeling, just a fun spot to swim and hang out. It was a very clean and well equipped boat, great food (vegetarian options provided) and plentiful drinks and an excellent crew. Bring $ for tips or use Venmo/cash app, they all worked very hard to make it a great inclusive experience for everyone regardless of age or abilities. Definitely will do this again!

Very cool experience! The crew ensured a pleasant stay with unlimited food and drinks. The canoe trip could have been a little longer. This was divided into two groups given the number of canoes. Our round was a bit short because the previous group ran out as someone had fallen out of the canoe. But would be nice if you could canoe for an hour. Now it was only half an hour.

I can't say enough good things about this whole experience. The captain and crew were just amazing! Absolutely worth every penny. If your thinking of doing anything in the keys this should be #1 on your to-do-list! Captain Chuck truly made my daughter's birthday celebration a memorable one!

We bought the ticket for 3 activities. That was around 39€. With that we did a hop on hop of tour, a salsa course and the Artechhouse. The salsa night alone would have cost €79 per person. So if you want to experience a lot, it is worth buying the pass.

Worked great! Enjoyed our Big Bus tour, especially our stop in Little Havana for lunch! Highly recommend Old’s Havana Cuban Bar & Cocina. Also, the Millionaire’s Row Sightseeing Cruise was fun for the whole family.
