    I had the pleasure of working with Big Pine Kayak Adventures and Captain Bill for a second year now and this time was every bit as good as the first! I took a group of 30 mostly college students down for a three hour kayak tour and everything was taken care of from the new kayaks that were provided to the water and fruit at the end of the trip to re-hydrate. We learned about the mangroves and the wildlife in the surrounding area, saw a few nurse sharks, and even got to paddle deep into the mangroves themselves on an adventurous journey. This is a great company to work with that has laid back staff and superb routes in the keys!

    Last month my wife and I while on vacation in the Florida Keys had made reservations to take our first kayaking trip with Big Pine Kayak Adventures led by Bill Keogh. We arrived early and told Bill of my hesitation at attempting this at 46 years old and being overweight. I relaxed with his assurance that we would be safe, have fun, and that we could certainly accomplish a successful first attempt at kayaking. He loaded up four kayaks on his motor boat, the dog jumped aboard and another couple took their seats as we got underway. Across the bay in the Gulf of Mexico, Bill pointed his boat towards a small island a couple of miles off shore. He dropped anchor, slid the kayaks in the water and gave us an example of how we would get into our kayaks. The couple got in to each of their kayaks without a hitch, then Caroline and I who were sharing a kayak gracefully managed to get in without a hint of turning over the kayak. Still nervous, and adorned with our life jackets, we began paddling towards the island with Bill just behind us - and his dog sitting up front of his kayak seeemingly interested in everything that was going on. Bill had us paddle along a mangrove shore, through mangrove tunnels, over shallows where we saw upside down jellyfish, barracudas, and the occasional pelican. With calm waters and nerves calming by now, we had an incredible time out here kayaking for a couple hours moving around the island. Towards the end of our first ever kayak adventure, Bill did the hard work and paddled back to the boat to came back to the end of the island and pick us up while we continuted to float along exploring more mangroves and fish as the sun started to get low in the sky. Bill finished the day by taking us to another island that is a rookery for pelicans where we floated next to the mangroves watching the sun set. A perfect day from a wonderful guide. I am now dreaming of our next kayak trip.

    Foul smelling algae seaweed! Please clean up!!!!

    When I drove up the smell was repulsive. This is so disheartening that nothing has been done to clear this algae/seaweed. I'm sure it's hurting the local Maria and rental business.

    Coming out of the beautiful mangroves.

    Booked last minute and still got to go out on the same day! Chris was our tour guide and he was very knowledgeable & super friendly. We saw some nursery sharks, crabs, barracudas and lots of other fish. Kayaking through the mangroves was amazing so beautiful and peaceful. We had a perfect time.

    This park has to be one of the best that the Florida Keys has to offer. I have always wanted to…read morestop here while visiting our friends that live in Key West and we finally had the opportunity. Bahia Honda means "Deep Bay" and refers to the deep bays of Bahia Honda Key. It is pronounced Bah -EE-ah Own da. It is 30 feet deep which makes it the deepest natural harbors in the Keys. It was established in 1961and is known for its history as part of Henry Flagler's "Overseas Railroad" and is now known as the Overseas Highway. In 1935 there was a huge hurricane that destroyed the railroad. What makes this park so unique is that it is encompasses an offshore island and it sits between Ohio Key and Spanish Harbor Key close to the west end of the Seven Mile Bridge. The park has 524 acres of lush beauty. It is open everyday of the year from 8am - sundown and the fee is $8 per vehicle. Clean restrooms and outdoor showers available. There is so many things to do such as snorkeling, swimming in the gin clear crystal waters, hiking out to the Old Bahia Bridge, birding, camping, boat rentals, a concession stand, rent a cabin, kayak, fishing or visit the nature center. We found parking easily and made our way out on the trail to the Old Bridge. The views from up here are panoramic. After viewing the bridge and the views, we really could not resist taking a dip at one of the beaches. The water was still warm enough to swim in November and it felt fantastic. What I love most about the state park beaches along the Keys are all the marine life you can view while swimming or just walking on the beach. No place like it! If I could give this park 10 stars I would, it is that incredible. Cannot wait to come back again.

    A sweet spot to stop and enjoy a dip in the cool, clear waters…read more As it's a state park, there is a small fee associated with entrance to utilize the beach, sandbars, walking paths, facilities and snack bar/gift shop. Plenty of parking. Beaches are beautiful and the water refreshingly cold. Marine life can also be seen, but please avoid touching or catching the sea creatures; and parents, tell your kids/teens to respect the wildlife.
