Sea Kayaking the Florida Keys Tour

The leader will meet all participants at the Miami International Airport at noon. If you wish to drive, we’ll send you directions. Plan to arrive by 3:00 p.m. The first meal of the trip is dinner. A moonlight paddle awaits the adventurous.

we will travel to Curry Hammock. After some instruction we will paddle around the Key discovering dolphins, mangrove tunnels, and the occasional spotted eagle ray. Lunch will consist of an Oceanside picnic. Folks wanting to take advantage of the world class birding (hawks) at Curry Hammock will have plenty of time in the afternoon.

Takes us to John Pennekamp for some underwater adventure. Our primary activity will be snorkeling, kayaking, and a picnic on the beach. On the way back to our cabins we will stop in Marathon and visit the amazing Turtle Hospital.

Will find us at Lignumvitae Key State Botanical site, the only virgin tropical forest remaining in the Keys. After our picnic lunch we will hone our skills by paddling to Indian Key for a picnic lunch, snorkeling, and exploration of the Indian Key Historical Site. In the evening, we will have a sunset paddle through a mangrove labyrinth.

This morning will be spent snorkeling and beach-combing Bahia Honda state park. Once the sun gets high overhead we will take the boat ride out to Looe Key Marine Sanctuary for an afternoon of snorkeling on one of the Keys finest coral reefs.

Key West, Hemingway’s Haunt. Be prepared to absorb everything Key West has to offer. (Our farewell dinner will be here and is not included in the trip price.)

Saturday we begin the day with a morning paddle and a huge breakfast. There will be time for a morning hike or swim before departing from our tropical retreat.
