About this tour

Paddle into the quiet side of the Florida Keys on a guided kayak journey through winding mangrove forests. This three-hour Florida Keys Mangrove Forest Kayak Tour leads through shaded tunnels and narrow waterways before opening onto a secluded, shallow saltwater lagoon.

Along the way, your guide shares knowledge of the local ecosystem and its wildlife. Clear water offers a view of the sea floor, while the mangroves provide shelter for creatures such as manatees, green iguanas, and mangrove tree crabs. The tour includes a tandem sit-on-top kayak and a live English-speaking guide, with small groups for a more personal outing.

Meet at the docks of the small marina on the east side of the green building opposite the Overseas Highway, and look for the Tavernier Creek Kayak Tours sign above the check-in desk.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 78 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Key Largo
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 9.0. Top 7% in Key Largo means it ranks in the top 7% of tours in Key Largo by this score.
