I have been a Marathon native for over 50 years. I pride myself on knowing most of the coveted sweet spots on, in, or around Marathon. Having lived on uninhabited Boot Key, I am one of the few who can successfully navigate through the island to the “inner sanctum” and get back out! All through the incredible, magnificent Mangrove Tidal River Caves.

My boyfriend and I had a great time kayaking through the mangroves with SpongeBob. The experience was really cool and a great way to explore the area. He was very knowledgeable and clearly knew what he was doing, which made the trip feel well-organized and safe. Kayaking through the mangroves was beautiful and interesting, and it was cool to learn more about the environment along the way. Overall, it was a solid experience and something I’d definitely recommend to anyone looking to do a guided kayak tour.

Can’t recommend this your enough! Our family of four had the best day on the water with SpongeBob. Our time was informative fun and my 4 and 6 yo kids are still taking about kayaking through the mangroves!

This is the coolest above-water trip in the keys for nature lovers. SpongeBob is considerate and kind, and he knows all the local lore. We saw mangroves from seed all the way to 80 feet tall. Unbelievable! It feels like we were on another world as soon as we entered the grove. We will definitely do this again on our next trip!

SpongeBob is great! He took us all around and through the mangroves and told us interesting things about them and the surrounding area. Was a great time and a good workout because it was a windy day! Thanks SpongeBob! See you next time!

Five stars for SpongeBob - he’s the real deal. Personalized tour, and no one could possibly know more about the mangroves and the history of the Keys ecology than him!
