A very enjoyable trip with James, who is an excellent guide. He explained the origin of Adams Cut, brought us to see manatees, and explained the ecosystem of mangroves. This was my 3rd eco tour and the best one

We had a great time! The price was very reasonable for a semi-private boat tour and we were pleased to get a last minute booking. Excited to see the manatees and our captain tried to find us other wildlife despite weather challenges. Enjoyed learning much about Key Largo history and geology.

Great trip! Captain Russ was very friendly and knowledgeable about the Keys. Got to see manatees, birds, mangroves, coral reef fossils, nice houses, etc. Overall fun tour. Would definitely recommend

Didn’t really see a lot of the wildlife that we expected but it was still fun nonetheless. Probably could have found a better way to spend $200 for the three of us. Also the boat was much smaller than I expected and there isn’t enough shade for everyone on board

The eco tour was absolutely worth it and we so glad we did it on the way down go the Keys. We saw a dolphin, manatees, star fish and a saltwater croc. In addition, the tour takes you through the Key Largo canal where you get a glimpse of how Floridians live in the Keys among the mangroves. A must do visit !

Jeff, our captain, was knowledgeable and relaxing as he expertly navigated us around the bay to see mangroves, a few birds, iguanas, a manatee and some notable landmarks around the area. Weather was perfect, with partly sunny skies and a mild breeze. This excision was good for a wide age range, as everyone from my two young daughters, husband and two parents in their upper 70s was able to enjoy this adventure.

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!
