Meet Your Guide

Living Cedar Key started as a personal blog—a place where we (Ryan and Janeth) could share the quiet charm, local beauty, and stories we discovered during our frequent visits to Cedar Key. Since 2015, we’ve explored nearly every corner of this island, falling more in love with it each time. What began as a few photos and reflections on Facebook grew into a community of over 10,000 people who share our appreciation for this special place.

Now, we’ve turned that love into something more: guided golf cart tours designed to help visitors experience Cedar Key the way we have—through its history, wildlife, nature, and local folklore. Whether it’s your first time here or your fiftieth, we want to give you a deeper connection to the island we’ve come to call home.

We’re still Living Cedar Key—just with a few more wheels and a whole lot more stories to share.

Your safety comes first. Light rain typically won’t cancel the tour, but severe weather may require rescheduling. If that happens, we’ll contact you in advance with options.

Bring only what you’d carry for a relaxed island day:

Phone or camera
Small bag or backpack
Any personal medications
A reusable water bottle if you’d like

No need to bring cash unless you want to shop locally or tip.
