| I wouldn't call this "romantic" necessarily. The sunset views may have been, but it was more adventure than romance. Skimming through mangroves, netting sea urchins, spotting a tree frog, plenty of Conch shells, and a special stop on a local's houseboat capped the evening. Great experience, great guide, easy pace, would do it again. |

| There are many trips that are thrown at you when in Key West and for the money that is asked all you can hope for is the best however, what we found on the Sunset Tour was a truly memorable experience and one we were lucky not to have missed. Our guide Chad was both humorous and very knowledgeble. We have a 10 year old son and this tour was a definate highlight for him. |

| We are a family of three with a 12 year old son. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and learned a great deal about some of the native marine and bird life. While we did not see a tremendous amount of marine life, we did see some jelly fish, an octopus, conch, sea urchins, and a stingray or two. The level of exertion was fine and manuvering through the mangroves was challenging but very doable. The scenery was wonderful as the temperature on the evening trip is much more tolerable and the sunset was the most memorable part. We really felt like we had a hands on experience with nature and our surroundings. The guide was very knowledgeable, I believe his name was Chad. The pace was just right, not too fast but not too slow to be boring. Our 12 year old expects ready made entertainment and he enjoyed the trip thoroughly. We would recommend the trip to others for an informative but entertaining activity. We had a five year old in our 'group' and though she seemed to be enjoying herself, I think she was a little young to appreciate the environment and knowledge shared by the guide. |

| Sunset Kayak... Not really romantic, but fun and informative. After dark was the best. Bioluminescence was cool to see, kinda like small fireworks underwater. also saw glowing worms on top of the water, Stingray, lobster, urchins, other starnge looking stuff and lots of birds. You will get wet from the paddle dripping on you (unavoidable).
Go on this trip and HAVE FUN!! |

| We really enjoyed the sunset kayak tour with Chad. the timing was perfect and the ocean was calm. He was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and about the island. Relaxing and we would recommend this tour to anyone coming down to visit Key West. |

| We've done some cool things as a family. We've hiked the Grand Canyon in and out. Gone snorkeling on a reef....twice with sharks. But this ranks as one of the coolest most amazing things we've ever done! Chad led us through the mangrove as night fell. He had a sharp eye for all kinds of wild life...much of which he was able to catch in his net and pass around. We held the squishy sea cucumber...and the prickly urchin. The children were awed by the star fish, sand dollar, sting ray, and octopus. Chad was familiar with the bird life, the sea, the tides, and the wild life with that easy sense of humor found in the Keys. As we paddled through the darkening sky, we turned off our head lamps and saw amazing glow worms and beautiful sparkling bioluminescent creatures in the sea grass...like fire flies under water. If you do nothing else in Key West, make sure you find time to do this. |

| Both my husband and I thought this was a wonderful tour. Chad was very informative and found a lot of sea creatures for us to see. We had a lot of fun manuvering through the mangroves! We would both highly recommend this trip for anyone who's interested in seeing the night side of the Keys. |
