The guides were so knowledgeable and kind and beyond teaching us so much were also incredible hosts. Great fresh fruit and veggie charcuterie boards were offered on board between dolphin watching and snorkeling. The boat was clean and safety was priority for the crew.
We learned more than we expected about Florida's water wildlife, dolphins, coral reefs, and Key West history. The boat fit a nice group of people without anyone feeling crowded.

We loved our experience on Honest Eco’s tour with Sean and Haddon!! They were both so informative, hilarious, helpful and knowledgable. We were thrilled to see so many dolphins and learn about their behaviors. The snorkeling experience was more challenging than previous due to weather conditions. There were many jellyfish to avoid and strong currents but Haddon safely got us back on the boat. We loved the fresh, organic fruits and veggies with hummus and the boat was very clean. Overall, highly recommend going on this trip!

There are so many options, it’s hard to choose which trip to invest your time and money in while in Key West. This is the one you want if you are looking for an individualized experience without a solo charter price. The guides were extremely knowledgeable and dedicated to ensuring each person received a quality and fun experience. Excellent snorkeling with puffer fish, sting rays, barracuda, and even a hammerhead shark! Saw many dolphin pods feeding and playing, and was provided with a beautiful snack display while on the trip. We will definitely be back!

Such a good time! Best tour we did on vacation, the guides are all so knowledgeable and teach you about dolphins and whatever marine wildlife you’re interested in. The boat is nice and comfortable, way better than most old commercial boats and they also provide light snacks and water which is a really nice touch. The best part though is that one of the guides gets in the water with you to help you find fish and teach you about what you see! Seriously worth it, do it!
