Blue Planet is a small owner-operated company. Chad Bryant is an environmental scientist with over 15 years of experience researching and exploring the Keys’ marine habitats. His formal background includes biology, marine science and oceanography, and botany and bird research.

All Blue Planet guides have experience leading eco-tours, and have backgrounds in marine science or related studies. All guides are also trained in rescue and first aid.

Blue Planet offers morning, afternoon and night tours on safe, stable and comfortable kayaks. We have enjoyed sharing our appreciation and knowledge of this very special ecosystem since opening in 2001.

We take 10 paddlers maximum for a personal experience. No crowds or cruise ship groups.

Tours are located only 2 miles from Key West yet provide spectacular scenery, great birding and abundant tropical marine animals. Your journey through Red Mangrove islands will have you feeling far removed from civilization.
