Crystal waters surround Key West, and your tropical escape isn’t complete without spending some time exploring them. Take a break from exploring the attractions near NYAH, Not Your Average Hotel, and set off on an aquatic adventure. One of the most relaxing ways to discover the nature and wildlife that call these waters home is kayaking. If you prefer to go on a self-guided tour of Key West waters, there are plenty of kayak rental services for you to choose from.
Where to Get Everything You Need for a Kayak Adventure
The waters around Key West are an excellent spot for kayakers of all skill levels. The backcountry is home to a diverse marine life ecosystem and calm waters, making it an ideal location for kayaking.
- Lazy Dog not only offers a range of kayak options, but you’ll be given a map of the area highlighting spots they recommend exploring. They can even give you a lesson if you need it before setting off to explore the mangroves between Stock Island and Key West.
- Rent your single or tandem kayak from Blue Planet Kayak. Rentals can range from an hour or until sunset, giving you plenty of time to wander as much as you would want. You’ll depart two miles from Key West at their Boca Chica tour spot.
- Kayak Kings of Key West will only rent their standard ocean kayak rentals from Cow Key Marina to experienced kayakers. This service charges a flat $30 rate per person for all day. This means you can kayak for as long as you want without worrying about going over your time limit.
Let Local Experts Show You Around
While it’s fun to explore independently, no one knows these waters better than local guides. Our on-site tour concierge can help you book your perfect kayak tour with Lazy Dog. Select a two-hour eco-tour or an almost four-hour kayak and backcountry snorkel tour.
