NO PRIOR EXPERIENCE IS NEEDED to enjoy kayaking.

Islamorada offers some of the most beautiful waters in the Florida Keys. Nearby, paddlers can easily spend several days enjoying the turqouise waters of either the Atlantic Ocean or the Florida Bay (Gulf of Mexico). Locally, several State Parks are only a few strokes away. Indian Key S.P., Lignumvitae Key Botanical S.P., Shell Key and Long Key S.P. all offer great paddling destinations along with a rich local history dating back to the early 1800's. Whether it's relaxation or soft adventure you are looking for, consider spending some time with us paddling through the mangroves and taking in the sunset on a guided kayak tour.

Kayaking the Florida Keys is a great way to observe our local ecology while experiencing things you wouldn't ordinarily see otherwise.

The staff at Backcountry Cowboy Outfitters can help answer questions you may have regarding paddling destinations, kayaks, and gear, and even offer local advice to make your paddling here in the Florida Keys the most memorable possible.

This trip leaves from a quiet marina surrounded by mangroves and wildlife. After an introductory clinic, you'll paddle into the backcountry with an experienced, fun, interpretive guide. This is a casual and educational adventure that will take you though narrow cuts and shallow water while learning about the rich history and precious ecosystem of the Keys.

This is a GREAT TRIP for ANY AGE to experience the beautiful waters of the Backcountry.

Experience the same trip as above, but include what the Keys are known for, the Sunsets. We'll head out before the sun goes down, celebrate the end of another beautiful day and then make our way back to land.

A great beginners tour, join us on a short paddle to one of the most rich historical sites in all of the Florida Keys. The easy paddle will take us to Indian Key State Park, where we'll step back in time several centuries. The leisurely stroll will take us down the old 'streets' of the once bustling community. Learn about the history of the island, along with a fun paddle!
