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.
