Want the backcountry all to yourself? Let's make it happen.

Our private guided tours give you and your crew a dedicated local naturalist for a completely personalized adventure through the Geiger Key mangroves.

 

Whether you are a family wanting to take things at a slower pace, or a large group of friends looking for an exclusive escape from the Key West crowds, this tour is built around you.

 

The Perks: Complimentary bottled water, dry bags for your gear, and a free shuttle from Key West so your entire group can travel together without worrying about parking or directions.

Here is what your private experience looks like:
  • The Vibe: Completely exclusive. It’s just your group and your guide. Linger longer at the wildlife spots you love, ask all the questions you want, and paddle at the exact pace that feels right for your crew.

  • Group Sizes: Built for any occasion, from a romantic couple's paddle to large family gatherings. Base pricing includes your first 4 paddlers, with online booking available for up to 11 people. Have a bigger crew? Call us directly to book and coordinate large group logistics.

  • The Gear & Time: A 2-hour VIP exploration on the crystal-clear shallow waters using your choice of top-quality single kayaks, tandem kayaks, or paddleboards.

Ready to see the real Florida Keys?

Leave the busy boat channels behind and come paddle the peaceful Geiger Key backcountry with us. We keep our guided tours small so it feels like you're exploring the water with a friend who knows all the best spots.

The Perks: We provide complimentary dry bags for your personal items, plus a free shuttle from Key West so you can leave the driving to us.

What to expect on your adventure:
  • The Vibe: Small, intimate groups (never more than 10 guests) led by our local expert naturalists. Keep your eyes peeled; it’s common to spot manatees, sea turtles, nurse sharks, and rays hanging out right in our backyard.

  • Skill Level: Perfect for everyone (Ages 2-99). Never paddled before? No problem. We have a custom, easy-launch ramp to get you on the water smoothly, and we’ll give you all the instruction you need.

  • The Gear & Time: A 2-hour guided exploration using your choice of top-quality single kayaks, tandem kayaks, or stand-up paddleboards.

Prefer to chart your own course?

Grab a kayak or paddleboard and explore the Geiger Key backcountry at your own pace. Our self-guided rentals give you the freedom to linger in the mangrove tunnels, float with the tide, and discover the wildlife on your own time.

Even though you're heading out on your own, we don't just hand you a paddle and say "good luck." Before you launch, our local crew will give you a quick orientation, safety instructions, and the inside scoop on which direction the wildlife is hanging out today.

The Perks: We provide the vessel, paddles, life jackets, and complimentary dry bags to keep your phone and keys safe while you paddle.

Here's how our rentals work:
  • The Vibe: Complete freedom. Take your time exploring the serene mangrove tunnels, finding hidden spots, and enjoying the tranquility of the Keys exactly how you want to.

  • Skill Level: Great for all ages and skill levels. We launch you from our custom, sturdy ramp with handrails so getting on the water is safe, stable, and completely stress-free.

  • The Gear & Time: Standard 2-hour rentals (with 1-hour extensions available if you just can't bring yourself to head back!). Choose between top-quality single kayaks, tandem kayaks, or stand-up paddleboards.
