Our Dolphin Watch and Snorkel cruise with Honest Eco was everything we hope for in a tour. Our tour group was small, and our crew was extremely kind and knowledgeable. I really appreciated the company’s focus on minimally impacting the marine ecosystems we visited. We stopped at two snorkel sites and saw several dolphins. The fresh fruit and veggie snacks and chilled water were a great touch. I would highly recommend, and I will book with them on future trips to Key West.

This was a wonderful tour. The guide was very knowledgable and the trip was small (only 7 of us on board.). We saw dolphins but did not disturb them and the guide was able to tell us alot about dolphin behavior as we watched them. We then went snorkeling at a reef which was beautiful and the guide took us around and identified many of the fish and the ray/shark and barracuda that we saw. We were able to wear the snorkeling gear that we wanted to wear (unlike a very large group on a different boat who all had to use pool noodles). We then were taken to another snorkeling spot where we were the only group present. This trip is a bit more costly than some of the other tours, but Honest Eco takes a lot of care to protect its passengers and the ocean and the reef. Totally worth the cost and such a wonderful trip. We saw so many things and the guide was so informed! COuldn't have asked for a better excursion!

We had a beautiful day out on the water with Sean and Reid. They were friendly and fun and took us to a great snorkeling location with so much to see. Watching the fish in their natural habitat is so special. We saw rays slowly sailing by, fish you only see on a screen, and even a shark patrolling. They take their preservation efforts seriously, even stopping to get a plastic bottle and a piece of styrofoam out of the water. It was exciting and memorable. Thank you!

Fun boat, great guides, amazing scenery. So many turtles and dolphins on our way out to the reef. We enjoyed sitting in the cockpit with the crew… very gracious hosts!

Seeing the dolphins a in the wild and snorkelling with marine life was amazing. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

Great small group snorkeling trip Our guides were wonderful - warm, welcoming, and because both were researchers had plenty to tell us about the islands and the animals that called it their home. We only were able to see dolphins from a distance, but saw a bunch of other animals while on the boat trip and snorkeling. I liked the environmental focus of this trip, and would strongly recommend.

We had a great time. Captain Libby and Reed were very knowledgeable. We saw lots of dolphins. The snack was delicious. We saw lots of fish, a sting ray, and pretty coral during the guided snorkeling. We highly recommend this tour.

We did the Dolphin and snorkeling tour. The boat is very comfortable, sturdy and protective from the beat down sun we just experienced this week. I cannot say enough about how funny, knowledgeable and friendly our crew was. Captain Libby and first mate Brian were a wealth of actual knowledge - university to back it up kind of knowledge- not only while we went out in search for dolphins which we saw, but as we were in the water snorkelling pointing out not just the fish but a lot of other creatures - sea slug etc. At one point Captain Libby dove down into an open top coral cave to try and scare out a Goliath Grouper! Fantastic trip, by an absolutely fantastic little company. Really also appreciated the local and delicious fruit and vegetable tray provided as well as ice cold water. We had proper snorkelling gear while we watched the larger tour boats using pool noodles and sub par crap trying to listen to our guide and follow us. Spend the money go with these guys you’ll learn something on vacation even!

Booked this trip for Mother's Day and we had a great time! Eric and Bryan were knowledgable, fun and ensured everyone's safety. We loved that it was a small group and not over crowded. The snorkeling was great and we saw dolphins and turtles. Great time!
