Favorite activity

This was our 2nd time renting kayaks from Lazy Dog and we would do it again EVERY time we’re in Key West! They are so professional and easy to work with. Absolutely the best experience!

The guide/staffs are very...

The guide/staffs are very nice, considerate and supportive. The route is challenging, the exit of mangrove is small and hidden.

Another great day on the water.

My wife and I have kayaked here several times. We had another great time. Great staff, very easy to get going. Take your time and you'll see a variety of wild life. when your done, grab lunch next store. Excellent sea food for catch of the day.

A nice mangrove paddle.

A really nice paddle through the mangroves. We did this two years ago and came back again. Nice to do it without a group.
