Capt Henry made it happen! - Captain Henry was awesome! Very knowledgeable. He went out of his way to make sure we saw some wildlife. Stretched the end a little because dolphins started playing with us. Shared info about plant life and history too!! Great captain!

Highly recommend the Eco tour! - Sam was an excellent captain, very professional and knowledgable. We even rescued a Cormorant that was entangled with a fish hook and line. Sam took the injured bird to be medically treated when we returned. We saw many different bird species, fish, iguanas and a crocodile on our trip. Very enjoyable couple of hours!

Excellent small group adventure - Great sunset tour! Boat comfortably holds 6-8 people. Our tour guide was wonderful. I highly recommend. We toured mangroves and saw many birds, a croc, a manatee and then enjoyed the sunset.

Great experience - A good investment and great way to get out on the water and learn a little more about the ecology of the area. Henry, our guide, was informative, engaging and easy. Saw dolphins (from afar), manatee, and a crocodile plus lots of birds. Highly recommend.

Great boat and captain - Jessie was our captain and we had a great time. Wish we could have seen some Manatees and dolphins but that was not our luck

Beautiful afternoon on the water - Jessie was incredibly knowledgeable and an awesome guide. We were able to see some cool wildlife and of course had an incredible time on the bay and ocean side on the water.

Great customer service and boat ride - Key Z was great to work with. We originally were going to do a snorkel trip but the winds and visibility weren't great. They were proactive in assessing the weather and letting us know our options (including cancelling if we were so inclined). We decided to go out anyway with a shortened time. We had a really lovely couple of hours at sea, and went to a sandbar to swim around. The boat was nice, captain was lovely, and overall great customer service.
