Paddle Key West’s mangrove creeks, tunnels, and salt ponds on a guided kayak tour with chances to spot local wildlife.

About this tour

Paddle into the quiet waterways of Key West, where mangrove roots form a maze of shaded creeks and tunnels. On this 2-hour Key West Mangrove Maze Kayak Tour, a guide leads you through the mangroves and salt ponds, with chances to spot local wildlife such as manatees, nurse sharks, dolphins, and birds.

Explore the winding waterways by single or double kayak while your guide shares the experience along the route. The tour welcomes all fitness levels and has a maximum group size of 35. Keep an eye on the water and the branches overhead: wildlife sightings can make each paddle feel different. Bring sunscreen, water, and waterproof items, and arrive 15 minutes early to check in at the marina parking area.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.97 from 37 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 West
  • 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 8.2. Top 14% in Key West means it ranks in the top 14% of tours in Key West by this score.
