What a day with Victoria and captain Bailey (Hope I type captain name correctly…) we were only the four 4 of us on the tour (2 adults and to teens 16-18 years old) low season, we saw many dolphins and one of them was surfing with the catamaran waves, snorkeling with ray, nurse shark, many fish, and finally champagne on the way back to the port…. It was the perfect birthday gift with my family. Thanks to the crew for that amazing day, I recommend definitly that tour !

EXCELLENT. This is a must-do when visiting Key West. My mother and I visited on Wednesday where we took the four hour snorkel and dolphin watching trip with Captain Stewart and Captain Aidan. It was fantastic. Firstly, both captains were super friendly and knowledgeable about the area, the dolphins, and the different creatures we saw while snorkeling. They made sure that we were all safe and comfortable while on the boat and they engaged us all in conversation about where we were visiting from, etc. During our trip we were lucky to see a few pods of dolphins which is always a magical treat. Once we got to the snorkeling spot we all jumped in and had a lot of fun, including Captain Stewart! He was able to point out a few lobsters and even dove down to pick up and show us a live conch. He told us about the different coral and sponges, and of course instructed us not to touch anything because it's all alive which was cool to learn. My snorkeling experience was definitely special, I saw a lobster, a crab, tons of fish, and was able to hold the conch and see the big snail inside. The clarity of the water was very good and there were many times where the sun shone down into the water and made such a beautiful effect. There were many interesting coral and sponges to see and I was just in complete awe. The catamaran itself was spotless and I noticed that Captain Aidan worked very hard to maintain its cleanliness during the trip by picking up anything that was accidentally dropped on the floor. I loved the trampoline sundeck, that was such a cool feature of the boat. While sitting on it, you could get splashed by the waves in the front of the boat which was fun and a nice way to cool off! We also appreciated the snacks, drinks, and fruit tray that was provided. When we boarded the boat, Captain Aidan immediately gave us all bottles of water which was nice as it was a hot day! Overall, I would not hesitate to recommend this excursion to anyone visiting Key West. I look forward to doing this again the next time I visit!

Bailey and Aiden were the best. Lots of fun, laughs and very informative. Lots of snorkeling. They have floats to point out the lobsters,the-water was clear to the bottom. The dolphins are hit or miss, seen some on the way out, but none at the playing pool for dolphins. Then they put up the sails and we sailed for the last part of the trip. They pointed out different islands and what was on them, even a homeless island. The sail boats that were abandoned that sunk were unbelievable, some just the top of the mass still showing. That was unbelievable to us. We would definitely recommend going out with Bailey and Aiden❤️

Captain Stu was awesome. Great time & really recommend this tour. But, book direct with Echo2 tours. Do NOT use Viator. I repeat DO NOT use Viator. Terrible service, wrong information on how to get there. Loved the tour, but skip the 3rd party booking site Viator.
