Really lovely boat ride around the keys. Captain was very knowledgeable and scenery was unbeatable. Had dolphins surfing in our wake. Saw manatees and lots of birds as well.

Captain Jeff was fun and responsible. A lovely boat ride through the sound and channels - we got to see some cool stuff like a manatee mama and baby, a nurse shark, birds, and fancy houses. A quick and quiet trip good for families.

My husband and I took the eco boat tour with our 6 year old grandson. He was delighted with everything we saw. Our guide managed to find a large pod of Manatee and we even saw a mother and baby! We saw lots of birdlife and quite enjoyed being out in the blue waters of the gulf. After spotting dolphins, our guide enticed them to jump and play in our boat’s wake. The water was so clear we watched in fascination as a small shark chased a fish without any luck. I’m sure you don’t see all the wildlife everyday, but our guide was knowledgeable enough to make it the best experience for us all!

Captain Russ was knowledgeable and fun. He found us manatees right off the bat since that's what I asked to see. We also saw dolphins, crabs, iguanas, and several birds. The tour through the mangroves was fascinating. I highly recommend a tour with Captain Russ!

Very relaxing trip through the mangroves and we got to see many manatees. We didn’t head out to the ocean to try and see dolphins but time and weather would not allow the day we went out. Our guide was great and shared many facts about nature, animals, and the island. I highly recommend!

Incredible experience. Bobby knew exactly where to go to see dolphins and manatees and what birds we were seeing along the way. He was able to entice the dolphins to play along behind our boat racing us and flipping in the waves for almost ten minutes! Saw a manatee too!! We were very lucky to see both but clearly Bobby is very knowledgeable and skilled!

Key Largo is best experienced from the water. That can be tough with mobility-challenged people. This trip was great. Captain Joe made sure my parents (88 and 81) safely boarded, were comfortable on the ride, and could hear his comments throughout the trip. It was the perfect adventure for us.

Capt. Russ provided an enthuastic eco tour. We saw numerous manatee, many shore birds, and assorted marine life. He highlighted the mangrove’s importance to the Keys and global ecosystem and pointed out the fossilized coral composition of the keys. He also shared great recommendations for local restaurants and other local attractions. We had a great outing.
