Upon arrival at the uninhabited mangrove islands in the Key West National Wildlife Refuge, your crew helps you into your kayak, providing paddling instructions. Sheltered by the mangroves, the warm, shallow water is calm, making kayaking a breeze.

After your mangrove tour, refresh yourself with another tasty beverage and enjoy the afternoon snack of freshly made chocolate chip cookies or chips and dip. Relax and enjoy your scenic hour-long brisk sail back to the Historic Seaport, as a memorable day in the waters off Key West ends.
