Kayakers paddle through winding turquoise waters amid lush green mangroves under a blue sky.

Eco-Tours

Exploring The Florida Keys is even better when you let nature–and experienced local guides–lead the way. Eco-tours bring you closer to mangrove forests, seagrass beds, coral reefs, and calm backcountry waters where wildlife thrives. Paddle a kayak or stand-up board through winding trails, glide over reefs on a glass-bottom boat, or join a naturalist-led cruise at sunset. Whether it’s a jet ski adventure or a quiet day drifting with the tide, these tours reveal the Keys’ wilder side. Go with care, and you’ll help keep these waters as vibrant as the memories you’ll take home.
