About
Our tours take you on the ultimate back country adventure, stopping at one or multiple sandbars as you'd like. We can bring you to Mud Key, Snipe Key, Marvin Key, Woman Key, and Boca Grande Key. From the mangroves to the Dolphin Playground, there's no shortage of things to see and do. Our tours primarily focus on sand bars, but we are open to special requests.
(Tour Tip: One of our favorite places to take tours is Mud Key - it's bursting with wild life, and since there's very little boat traffic, it feels like you're in your own paradise, free to lounge on the sandbar or explore the mangroves. If there's one stop you don't want to miss, it's this one.)

Feel free to bring sunscreen, hats, sunglasses, towels, and light snorkel gear if you have it - whatever will make your trip enjoyable.
