Explore the wondrous and enigmatic mangrove islands with one of our very knowledgeable nature guides. Learn all about the mangrove eco-system, while paddling through a maze of mangrove-canopied canals and streams, that are home to an incredible tropical array of birds, rays, sharks, sport fish, and more. And, no worries if you’ve never kayaked before; our kayaks are very stable sea kayaks that novices from ages 6 to 90 and beyond can easily paddle with a few simple instructions from your guide!

Danger’s specialty shallow-draft vessels visit a variety of private and pristine patch reefs in the calm and protected waters of the Florida Keys backcountry to provide you with an exceptional and personal underwater experience. And, due to the topography of islands and flats that surround the wildlife refuge, you can be assured of great visibility and calm seas while you snorkel amid a beautiful collection of corals, sponge gardens, tropical fish, and dramatic marine life.

Never snorkeled before? First time snorkelers can be assured of one-on-one
instruction and assistance. We find introducing folks to our world very rewarding!  In addition, we are pleased to provide prescription-strength masks and wetsuits in the winter-time at no extra charge.

All our day excursions feature guided kayaking through wonderfully enigmatic mangrove islands, snorkeling on pristine and uncharted patch reefs and wrecks, and of course sailing!

We provide all the equipment you will need including:

• Snorkeling gear
• Wetsuits and warm beverages in the winter months
• Kayaks and paddles
• Fresh fruit and healthy snacks
• Soft drinks, water, and beer after snorkeling

In addition, our full day excursion features a great safari style picnic lunch of:

• Curried chicken, tuna, and pasta salads
• A selection of deli meats and cheeses
• Artisan breads and a little something sweet!

And weather and location permitting, we usually end our full day Out Island excursion at a deserted island beach or a shallow sand bar in gin-clear aqua blue waters.  This is the deserted island beach experience you've dreamed about!  With cold beer, wine, or soft drink in hand, we relax and intimately explore along the water's edge these beautiful areas.  Join a guide for an informative walking tour, or relax on your own in this idyllic paradise.
