Mangrove Fun - This is a really fun excursion. Cody our tour guide was really nice and knowledgeable. You have your own little two person speed boat. He guides you out to the mangroves where you make stops along the way. Super fun. Highly recommend.

Key West Guided Boat Trip - What a great morning on the water. Sunny, calm. Each couple had their own boat. Fun ride out to the spot. Snorkeling was great. Not much to see but floating around in the sun is as good as it gets. Our first spot was empty when we arrived but filled up. Quickly moved to another secluded spot. Great trip and company. Would absolutely do it again. Shout out to our guide Tyler. Chill and competent.

Fast ride and cool hammock - The tour guide brought us to a cool little uninhabited island that had the perfect hammock for a couple to relax on. The boats ran at a good speed and were fun to drive.

Fun day, would recommend - Yes, I would recommend this. We have been in several excursions and this was a bit different. Being able to drive your own little boat was fun. Guide was great and very clear in safety.

Exploring the outer islands by boat. - It was a cloudy, breezy day, but warm so we still enjoyed the afternoon. Mother Nature didn’t let us see too much in the water or air, but it was fun to explore the various islands. Our guide was quite helpful. Any visitor to Key West should do this.

The BEST Key West Excursion ! - I was so pleased with this excursion. It seriously could not have been any better! We got very lucky in terms of weather, and the water was as calm as glass. Due to the water being shallow, we went to a different island than the tour typically goes to. This was perfect because it had better snorkeling. Based on the reviews I was not expecting to see a lot of fish but we saw puffer fish, lobster, parrot fish, etc! It was so much fun to ride in the boat too. I would do it again for sure, I wished we could have stayed on the island longer! My only advice would be to specifically ask to try another location if you are not having a good time snorkeling. It looks like in the reviews some people did not have great experience with this. The guides cannot control the weather and water conditions but they were all very kind. I’m sure they’d try to help make the day better if you asked! If you’re in Key West for multiple days it could also be beneficial to book last minute if you know there is going to be a better day in terms of weather. Also, before you book via this website, check out their company website specifically! They have a lot of information and other ways to book the trip… if you get what I’m putting down. They even texted with me before our trip about places to go in Key West. Highly recommend!

60th birthday trip to Key West - We were guided around some small islands and introduced to some pretty cool sites. We thoroughly enjoyed this trip and it took about three hours. I would recommend this to anyone.

Amazing Sunset Cruise - On the fence about going on this cruise? Well, don’t be it was fantastic!!! The wine and hors d’oeuvres were very good. Perfect for wine tasting. Logan, our captain was awesome along with his crew, Caroline and Paul. Caroline was hustling…girl power! Paul too! We had enough wind to turn off the engines and sail. What a treat. We felt safe with Captain Logan who has a great career path ahead of him. Highly recommend!!
