Best Sandbar Trip in the Keys

We had the BEST time as always during our Lazy Dog sandbar trip. Heather B. is an excellent, competent and fun captain. The spot we went to was magical and we couldn't have been happier with the whole experience. They take care to provide a first class experience (especially having water, ice, and a cooler available is great, not having to lug one ourselves.). Thanks LAZY DOG! XO

We got to touch the sea life....

We have taken this trip a couple times as well as their kayak tours. Always great guides and the perfect experience for our family of 6. I think we have had at least four different guides over the years and all have been great. On our latest trip we found a sea star, Conch and cool sea slug that was kind enough to ink us as we passed them around. How fun....
