Lovely tour! - We had a great time! Because the weather was colder than we would have liked we thought we were going to freeze but the water was warm and the guide was informative. Just a great time!

The coolest boating experience! Don’t miss out! - This is really cool adventure! You get to pilot your own pistol boat cruising through the beautiful green waters out to the Mangroves and Mud Key. Once there we explored the island, swam, and snorkeled. Kyle was our guide infinite. Highly highly highly recommend. Not your usual boating experience!

Full throttle - Wear shoes you can hike in muddy key and not sandy shore. The hike on the key was very fun we saw a hammock and a swing built on the key. Driving these comfortable boats was a blast. Fun group activity. Don’t be afraid to go full throttle. Only flaw was the guide recommended a 50-100% tip per person of the overall cost. Exorbitant and rude lout of touch comment.

Such a fun way to see Key West! - This eco-boat safari was one of the coolest things we did in Key West. Driving your own little boat through the mangroves makes it way more fun than a typical tour where you just sit and watch. The boats are easy to handle, even if you’ve never driven one before, and the guides explain everything clearly.
The ride itself is beautiful with calm water, tons of wildlife, and amazing views you don’t get from the main tourist areas. We saw birds, fish, and just enjoyed cruising through the backcountry. The snorkeling stop was a great bonus and a nice break to cool off.
Everything felt well-organized and relaxed, not rushed or crowded. It’s perfect if you want something adventurous but still easygoing. I’d totally recommend this to couples, families, or anyone who wants to do something a little different while in Key West. Would 100% do it again!

Awesome day on the water! - Excellent day on the water! The Captain & crew were knowledgeable, fun, and friendly. The Captain was able to navigate us around a storm which took us a little longer to get to out to the sandbar but he routed us so that we could see dolphins. Ended up being a highlight of the trip! The lunch was good and there was plenty of food and drinks. Best day!!!

Absolute disaster of a business — rude, dishonest, and wildly unprofessional. - We stood there and watched employees turn customers away, telling them the snorkeling boat had “already left.” That was a lie.
Our reservation was for 1:00 PM. The boat did not leave until 1:12 PM — without our party of four and another group of six who were also right there. Ten people abandoned while staff shrugged and doubled down on the lie.
When we questioned it in person, we were treated with open hostility. When we called the number provided for refunds, the person on the phone was just as rude and dismissive. No apology. No explanation. No accountability.
This wasn’t a misunderstanding — it was blatant incompetence paired with terrible attitudes. They wasted our time, our money, and a chunk of our vacation, then acted like we were the problem.
If you enjoy being lied to and talked down to, this is the place. Otherwise, avoid at all costs and book with literally anyone else.
