Paddle Miami’s mangrove canals by kayak or SUP, watch for wildlife, and pause to swim and enjoy fresh fruit and drinks.

About this tour

Trade the city bustle for quiet waterways on a Miami mangrove kayak and SUP tour. After a brief introduction to the basics of paddling, set out through narrow canals beneath a canopy of mangroves, where the winding route offers a chance to spot local wildlife. Keep watch for manatees, dolphins, iguanas, birds, crabs, fish, and raccoons; sightings vary because these animals roam freely, and manatees and dolphins are less often seen in summer.

Spend several hours exploring the natural surroundings before reaching mangrove tunnels, where you can relax and swim. Fresh fruit, including watermelon, cantaloupe, and banana, is served alongside drinks such as Gatorade, soda, and water. Choose a kayak or stand-up paddleboard, with safety gear provided. The outing lasts four hours, and the pace is unhurried, leaving time to enjoy the scenery before paddling back to shore.

Join this Miami mangrove kayak and SUP tour for an active escape into a lush coastal landscape, with wildlife and tranquil canals along the way.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.69 from 1,234 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 Miami
  • 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 6.1.
