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!

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.

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!!!
