Kayaking and snorkeling are fully guided, and both instruction and gear are provided. Once you arrive at the marina, your friendly captain will welcome you aboard the boat, E.O. Wilson. This boat is perfect for adventuring into the shallow backcountry waters of the Wildlife Refuges.
Your boat ride out is usually about 45 minutes to the Key West National Wildlife Refuge. With beautiful views along the way you could also spot Sea Turtles or Bottlenose Dolphins. Your captain will take you to the best spots for the day's weather and tide conditions in the Wildlife Refuge. The small group size, shallow draft power boat, and captain's knowledge allows our EcoTour to be very flexible for the different conditions.
Kayaks are Great for Exploring the Refuge
Kayaking allows us to get in shallow water and to get up close views of the wildlife. Kayaks are stable, easy to use. You’ll receive a quick, and thorough rundown on how to maneuver your kayak.
Discover many different Species of Fish, Birds and Plants
Peer into the water to see what fish or invertebrates like to hang out in the protection of the mangrove roots. Gaze over the shallow flats at low tide to see the herons and wading birds or maybe you’ll get to see a horseshoe crab as it labors by. Enjoy the serenity of the surroundings.
• Stable Tandem Kayaks
• Instruction Provided
• About 1 hour of Kayaking
Snorkeling Experience
Slip off of our swim platform and into another world, where you’ll observe a wondrous diversity of life in the last habitat that we haven’t made our own. You’ll be captivated by the snappers, angelfish, eels, crabs, lobsters, sponges and corals amongst others, and your understanding of our world will deepen. Your captain will accompany you, casting an experienced eye on the surroundings, there to help explain and unmask this novel ocean setting.
Our snorkeling spots change by the season. Our experience has taught us how to find the calmest and clearest water for the weather conditions. Sometimes this is a barrier reef or a gulfside patch reef and other times a shallow water sponge garden; wherever we decide to snorkel, our guests, both beginners and experienced, enjoy the experience so much that they often stay in the water for up to an hour.
