Eco-Tours with Marine Viewing: Our eco-tours don't just let you paddle atop the water; they immerse you in the rich ecosystem of the Florida Keys. Watch for starfish, nurse sharks, jellyfish, stingrays, and many other marine creatures as they go about their daily lives just inches beneath your kayak. Journey through Mangroves: The tour takes you through the pristine mangroves of Sugarloaf Key, offering a scenic and serene experience that's both refreshing and educational. You'll get to witness the delicate balance of life in these important coastal habitats. Expert Guides: They're trained to prioritize safety while sharing interesting facts about the area's marine life and ecosystem.

Meeting points

We launch near the boat ramp's right-hand side at Sugarloaf Marina. The boat ramp is located behind the retail storefronts. Look for the white enclosed trailer near the water (you should also see the clear kayaks there!) where you will meet your tour guide!

Itinerary

  • Sugarloaf Key

    Sugarloaf Key, nestled within the Lower Florida Keys, offers a serene escape where crystal clear water surrounds the natural beauty of the island. Sugarloaf Key is accessible from the Overseas Highway, one of Florida’s most scenic drives. Whether you’re drawn to Sugarloaf Key’s natural beauty, waterways, or laid-back lifestyle, the ecological richness is ready for you to explore. Most of the land across Sugarloaf Key is undeveloped, and some of the acreage is home to The Great White Heron National Wildlife Refuge. Whether you’re a seasoned boater or a novice, Sugarloaf Key’s surrounding waters invite exploration. Glide through crystal-clear channels, surrounded by lush mangroves and abundant marine life, including corals, starfish, and tropical fish. The surrounding waters are a part of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary and are untouched backcountry, where you can escape from civilization and experience undeveloped, natural beauty.
