Bird island at sunset - Very knowledgeable and pleasant guide. Loved bird island ❤️! Not the best night for a sunset cruise but enjoyed it nonetheless.

A fun time on the ocean!! - I have been on this trip a few times before. Captain Sam does a great job coordinating everything. I book with her personally and tell her what I want to do each time. She does not disappoint. My captain was Henry this year as last year. He was wonderful. He even remembered what we did last year and took me new sights this year. I appreciated his knowledge of the area and our conversation. I saw a shark for the first time ever in the wild. I even swam with a school of fish! I book a two hour trip in the ocean and it was a great time! I would highly recommend using KeyZ Charters for your boat trip in Islamorada.

Nice Boat Day - Enjoyed our 2 hour tour. Our tour guide, Henry, was very knowledgeable about local aquatic life and the Keys, in general. While we didn't see as much wildlife as we had hoped it was still an enjoyable trip.

Friendly and Knowledgeable! - Henry was very friendly and knowledgeable. We had a great time. We saw lots of birds, fish and even a manatee! It was a nice, comfortable small boat with a shaded area if you preferred to sit in the shade. Worth the cost. Would do again.

Fun, Exciting, Educational, Experience!! - My husband and I had an amazing time. Do to the wind it was difficult to see down into the water frequently, but out Guide, Henry , was wonderful and did his very best to find places where the surface was calm enough to see the bottom. We saw tarpon, birds, sponges and upside down jellyfish. Henry is extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife, water and area. It was truly a wonderful experience from the time we got on the boat until we got off. Thanks Henry we enjoyed every minute!!

Great Tour! - This was a wonderful boat tour! Henry, the captain, was a great guide and very knowledgeable about the area, its history, and the local wildlife. We saw some nesting osprey, some manatee, and a very cool bird rookery, all with informative commentary. Henry was responsive to our requests and made the trip memorable. Overall very happy with this tour.

Too expensive and not recommended. - The ecotour disappointed us a lot. Apart from a baby crocodile resting on a branch and barely visible, many pelicans and cormorants, we did not experience much. The guide was sympathetic but hardly any background knowledge was provided. The price-performance ratio was insufficient.
