Stand Up Paddleboard Key West

My first time paddle boarding g and Kasie was great she made me feel comfortable and very relaxed. There were four of us and we had a wonderful time going through the mangroves seeing the nursing sharks and all the wild life. The tour was a good mix of standing sitting and kneeling. Highly recommend.

Amazing experience! Kristen was an outstanding tour guide who went above and beyond to allow us to have the experience we wanted to have. We ended up seeing multiple manatees! Best thing we did on Key West!

Had a great experience! Kassi was great — very knowledgable and helpful. I had a slow group, but after they left she showed me some more areas to see. I’d highly recommend this tour

Our tour guide, Kassy took us on a private tour of the mangroves and was very knowledgeable about the local ecosystem. The entire experience was terrific and well worth the money! This was our first SUP experience and we definitely got hooked, this is definitely the best way to see the Keys.

Our guide Cassie was awesome. Half of our group had paddle board experience and half hadn’t. Cassie gave us a great tour, no pressure at all to the newbies, and it didn’t seem like anyone was waiting around.
We held starfish and baby (non stinging) jelly fish, saw aneomone, bait fish, a few barracuda, and mangrove crabs. And the crab in the picture. Would definitely recommend.

We had so much fun paddle boarding through the mangroves. Kassy was fun, filled with info, and helpful to two newbies. Try it. You’re like it!

I had a really good time and the guide was very generous in explaining the surroundings and the marine life we were paddleboarding over.

Worth every penny, this experience truly made our trip. I didn’t feel like I had been dragged into a tourist trap like other places. They took their time teaching us and we couldn’t have been happier.

From the moment we parked we were created with high fives, Kassie was our motivational and knowledgable Eco guide. The mangroves were a sight anyone will remember. The overall nature knowledge, view, and exercise makes this an amazing outing. We were so lucky to have Kassie to ourselves, she provided us with water and let us have our time to enjoy the scenery so it wasn’t at all intrusive. To be honest we can’t wait to go back!

Had a great time. Was a really cool experience going through the Mangrove tunnels. Shelby was awesome!

Staying in Key Largo for spring break and had to travel down to Key West for the day. Decided to book a mangrove tour on SUP boards, called that same morning for a 1:30 start. We received a great tour of the mangroves from Brian. Brian was very welcoming and exceptionally knowledgable of the wildlife in the mangroves, going into canals and hurricane holes where you wouldn’t go on your own. Highly recommend, we had two adults and two teens. Perfect.
Tip o the hat– to the eco friendly vibe of the tour — thanks Brian!
Wage o the finger– lost my favorite sunglasses when I fell in. (My bad).

My wife and I had a great time at SUP exploring the mangroves. The paddle boarding starts with a lesson teaching you how to stand on the board and paddle properly. Good lesson because I was nervous but never fell in! Our guide– Kate– was very friendly and knowledgeable about the mangroves. The mangroves were a mini adventure and we learned a lot from Kate.
This is a unique and interesting experience that I recommend to anyone.

Such a unique Key West experience that I won’t soon forget!
I’ve been paddle boarding numerous times but never on an organized tour. After reading a bit more info on this biz’s site, we decided to take an afternoon tour which started at 1:30. SUP Key West also offers morning and sunset tours, but this ended up being perfect timing for us — we could sleep in and let brunch digest before hitting the water.
Now, for the tour. Our guides name was Brian, the owner of SUP Key West. Booking online was a breeze and $ 45 per person. Once we arrived, we met the other two in our group, grabbed some life jackets (optional to wear but must be on the board) and took to the water.
I love being active but wouldn’t consider myself «outdoorsy.» That being said, I don’t know too much about the mangroves or the ecosystem surrounding the Keys so this whole experience was really eyeopening. While we drifted through the mangroves, Brian talked about how they were formed, gave more info on the birds we spotted and pointed out the sea life, even picking up and passing around sea cucumbers, jellyfish, sea stars and algae. To top it all off? We saw a nurse shark! His enthusiasm for the environment was contagious and had me eager to learn more.
About halfway through, he asked if we had immediate plans and since we didn’t, we took the long way home so the tour actually lasted a little over two hours. It wasn’t a huge workout until the very end when we were battling some winter wind. By the end of it, I was exhausted. Brian brought along a cooler of water which was nice in case you need some hydration along the way.
All in all, a different activity to do while in Key West. This was my boyfriend’s first time paddle boarding and left a great impression so hopefully I can get him on the water a little bit closer to home next time. Whether a local or a tourist, I’d say it’s definitely worth taking part in.

Had a very fun SUP tour with Caitlin through the mangroves. Some instruction, some standing up and paddling, some sitting on the boards in the mangrove tunnels. Perfect for our sophisticated, athletic, and attractive group of people — just like your group. And, «Oh my God!» we spotted a new species of starfish! Not to mention the grouper! Highly recommended.

What a great time!!! Excellent tour guide, she gave perfect lessons for my group of beginners. The boards were so much fun to use and the 2 hour tour was very scenic! Some challenging bits through tunnels of Mangrove! Worth every penny!

Did paddleboarding and this was excellent!
Think the tour guides name was Dave who was excellent! Pretty much a personal tour s just the 2 of us with the guide.
Took us all through the mangroves etc… VERY WORTH IT!
This was one of the highlights of our trip actually!
You spend about 70% of the time layout or sitting on the board once you get over to the mangroves.
Would recommend this!
Very knowledgable and Matt (i think) very nice to talk too and not pushy at all.

I’m with the other reviewer; I can’t believe there aren’t reviews here. I found SUP on TripAdvisor where it has like a zillion 5 stars. This was one of my favorite things I did in the keys — definitely the thing I told everyone about!
We went on the sunset tour — it was cool, just my two friends, me, and the guide. His nickname was Diamond; I don’t remember his real name haha. SUP is pretty easy in itself, but it takes a lot of balance if you’re not confident. I wasn’t very good at it, so he slowed down to make sure I could keep up, and then I asked if I could just sit and paddle like a canoe, and he said that was fine haha. Anyway, the tour itself was really cool! We went through a bunch of mangroves, and stopped a few places to get off the boards and swim. The boards are really wide, so it’s pretty easy to get back on in the water. Our guide was really cool.
I had this idea that you’d watch the sunset from open water, but it turns out that they don’t want the paddleboards out after dark so you don’t get hit by a boat (I’m okay with that!), so the tour starts 2 hours before sunset, and the sun starts setting right as you’re returning to the dock — maybe the last 15 minutes, so you can see it from the water but still have time to drive to key west and see it disappear from the pier. It’s really beautiful. You should definitely go on a tour with them!
Also, they bring water for you, which is great.

This was the complete highlight of our visit. We went over a month ago and it’s still stuck in my head!
We utilized the complimentary shuttle and they picked us up from our hotel– amazing.
The staff is just fantastic. My friend and I were lucky to get a sunset tour all to ourselves (I recommend sunset tour– it was perfect temperature out). We went through the mangroves with Hannah who was delightful and full of knowledge. She made such a lasting impression. I’m so thankful to her.
We held sea cucumbers and small jellyfish, we saw crabs and other sea life, and we learned about mangroves and plant life. It was so enlightening and very relaxing.
To those who are nervous about never having tried paddleboarding before, don’t worry. It was our first time on paddleboards and we were both moving through the water with ease. Plus, if you aren’t as comfortable standing, you could always kneel to feel more stable. Once you paddle out to the mangroves, you will be sitting and relaxing on your board.
I highly highly recommend SUP!

This place has 244 reviews on Tripadvisor so I was so surprised it wasn’t on Unilocal!Happy to add it as my 100^th review! =)
We went on a stand up paddleboarding tour last week and had a great time. The guide (Lina!) was friendly, knowledgeable and patient with us. We got about 10 minutes of practice before heading out and that was plenty. It was so much easier than I was expecting, but I can see how it would be a good workout if you’re going a little faster. Our group of three did pretty well, and none of us fell off the boards. Lina brought bottled waters for us in a cooler, which tasted so great in the shade of the mangrove trees. We did a leisurely tour around, about 2 hours worth, sometimes standing sometimes sitting, some open water, some through the mangroves. It was great! We really enjoyed it and would highly recommend this company.
Tip: They offer hotel pickup and drop off if needed!

Decided on SUP for a paddleboarding tour with two of my friends. Great decision! They went above and beyond! They picked us up for free from our hotel and brought us to the launch site. Brook was our guide and she rocked! Cold water, informative tour through mangroves and channels, and lots of fun and wild life. I highly recommend the sunset tour from 6−8pm.
