Very nice tour with Aaron and his companion. The tour begins in the mangroves, the departure point is well prepared and it is easy to get into the canoe or the StandUp. The tour first leads through the mangroves, which you then leave in the direction of Sandspur Island, when you get there there are enough drinks, melons as a snack... Wildlife - we saw dolphins about 20 meters away, many birds and the highlight for us were the raccoons the island who are very trusting. The equipment provided is in great condition and in general the entire tour is highly recommended. Thank you for the nice trip.

Pretty straightforward exprience - you get picked up in Miami, transported to Key West where you spend the afternoon. Our driver also connected us with a snorkeling organizers, so we went snorkeling in the nearby reef. All in all pretty nice afternoon with snorkeling in beautiful waters, good food and drinks, and a bit of Key West exploring.

Best kayak trip ever. Aaron is an awesome guide and he makes sure he takes care of everyone during the trip. I will definitely do this again and will also recommend to my friends visiting Miami.

We had a terrific time on the water, it was our first time jet skiing as well and our guide was very professional and courteous to walk us through everything.

2 hours of the surfing lesson and I was able to kinda stand on the board (never did it before). A lot of fun! Instructor was very helpful and friendly!!!
