Great Experience - Decided to take this tour bc of the 6 hours out on the water. It was amazing!!! Angela and Grant worked their hearts out to make sure everyone had great time. Finding the boat around all the other boats was a challenge, every tour meets at the same dock, everyone was helpful and pointed out the blu Q so that was a relief . The tour was really good. Kayaks were easy to get into, saw tons of dolphins and the reef was our favourite. The lunch was deleicious. We thought it was going to be all gone by the time we got our turn but Angela kept refilling the Buffett and everyone had as much as they wanted. 5 star trip very educational, the water was beautiful and captain Nick kept everything safe great captain that took his job seriously ❤️

Had an amazing time! - Our group of five friends had a fabulous time on this excursion! Captain Nick and Angela were both very welcoming and knowledgeable. The kayaking through the mangrove island was great, lunch was delicious, and we really enjoyed the snorkeling. Captain Nick took us to a small sunken wreck where there were lots of amazing fish. We had a few first-time snorkelers in our group, and they all were able to get into it with no problems thanks to Captain Nick and Angela's guidance.

Fun and relaxing in the sun - It was a very well put together tour, very enjoyable with activity but also some time to just relax and cruise. Libby and Angela were super friendly and clearly know their stuff, but also were just fun to chat with. Lunch was great as well!

Magical Moments - This is our 4th year with Honest Eco. Their boats are beautifully maintained, the crews knowledgeable and friendly, the food clean and yummy. We kayaked, snorkeled and searched for dolphins. 6 hours goes by in a flash. We truly appreciate that this is not a “booze cruise” and instead is about the beauty and joy of the Keys. Can’t say enough good about our crew and will be back with them next year!

Best snorkel/dolphin tour! - Amazing trip! So fun to get to kayak, snorkel and see dolphins all in one trip! Libbie, Brian and Hadden were the best guides, so knowledgeable and friendly. The food was amazing: fresh fruit, salads, mostly vegan lunch! I would do this exact trip again!

Great day in January while it snowed at home - Captain Libby and 1st Mate Brian were great, despite the fact that Brian's a Maine Black Bear ;) They were able to check off all the boxes for this trip starting off with a lucky manatee sighting just as we were preparing to leave the dock. kayaking at Cottrell Key, and as we were transiting to our snorkel spot by Archer Key we happened upon a pod of 8 dolphins. Brian is a wealth of knowledge about the mangroves, the Keys and the wildlife proving he learned something at UMaine. Snorkeling was okay by Archer Key. There are probably better snorkel spots on the Atlantic reef side of Key West. On our way back to port we even saw a hammerhead shark surface chasing after a snack. The lunch consisted of some good organic offerings. We had one nut allergy in our party and they were good about pulling up the ingredients list and working with her to make sure she didn't consume anything with nuts. I'd recommend this tour and Libby and Brian anytime.

Amazing time - A group of us went out on Honest Eco with Captain Rick. He was amazing! Great personality, very knowledge, and dealt with our crew with always a smile. We went out on New Year’s Eve day to a sandbar about 8 miles out, and felt like we owned the whole thing. Light healthy snacks were provided, along with water. We brought plenty of adult beverages, in which a cooler full of ice was waiting. This past August we also went out on Aqua Q which was a great time with great service. Thank you Rick and your fabulous company. We will be returning customers for years to come.

Picture Perfect All of the Above Full Day Tour - Our captain Libby and mate Brian were exceptional from start to finish- extremely knowledgeable, hospitable, and clearly well trained in all safety/first responder measures. Their depth of knowledge about all marine biology and the ecology of Key West and surrounding areas made the trip so enjoyable for myself, husband and our two children. The lunch and snacks were from Date & Thyme, a local market down the street from the waterfront, and everything was wonderful. Booking a tour with Honest Eco on your visit to Key West is an absolute must.

Great day on the water - The guides were great, the boat was very comfortable. Lunch was an amazing assortment of salads and fresh veggies. Kayak part was my favorite, through the mangroves, saw three sharks!!! Snorkeling was average although guide was knowledgeable and pointed out what he could. Sadly no dolphins seen at all. Overall Capt. Nick and Eric and Francesco were great hosts and I would recommend this trip to all!
