Full Moon Kayak Excursions Big Pine Key This is a relaxing, easy 2 hour paddle along the mangrove shoreline of No Name Key. Don't expect a white water challenge, this is one of our favorite versions of Nature Therapy. You'll learn about the precious mangrove forest habitat, the birds, fishes and animals that live there. The highlight of this paddle tour comes when you round the northern point of No Name Key and you stop to watch the sun setting as the full moon rises. Sponsored by Big Pine Kayak Adventures, this is one of FAVOR/FKWS's few fund raisers. You get to experience this incredible wildlife encounter for only $25 per person which includes kayak, gear, and experienced guide. Bringing your camera for your own incredible photos? Bring your refillable water bottle, camera (in dry bag) and a flashlight. Call Captain Bill 305- 872-7474 to register. We meet at Big Pine Kayak on Bogey Drive, Big Pine Key.
