We absolutely loved our trip! Noah and Sav were very engaged and knowledgeable about and respectful to the area and it's wildlife, amazing hosts all throughout. They even stayed a little longer on the water with us to make sure we find some dolphins to observe. Delicious snacks and water to keep hydrated completed the experience beautifully. Definitely recommend and would always go back if ever on the Keys again.Posted on Google![]()

Great experience with Noah and Sav on our dolphin-watch and snorkel tour. They went out of their way to find the dolphins for us. They were both very knowledgeable about the sea life. My wife and I had an exceptional time with them.Posted on Google![]()

Dolphin Watch & Snorkeling aboard the SQUID: Absolutely amazing experience! The crew was knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate about marine life and protecting the environment. They patiently answered questions and taught us about the dolphins, fish, birds, and local landmarks. One thing that really stood out was how they even retrieved trash from the ocean as we passed it. The equipment was top quality, clean, and well cared for. This is NOT a booze cruise—it’s a thoughtful, educational, and enjoyable adventure perfect for families, nature lovers, and curious minds of all ages. I truly can’t say enough good things about this experience. Highly recommend!+1Posted on Google![]()

TRUST ME BOOK WITH THEM!!!!! Finding a snorkel tour I felt we could trust in having the best experience was very hard for me and I’m so glad we found honest eco! Captain Dan and Charlie made this experience exactly how we all imagined it would go. The small group tours are the best thing you could do, we had so much 1on1 time and got to make friends with everyone on the boat. You can tell the crew is very knowledgeable and above all they care deeply about your safety and experience. I’ve been on many dolphin tours and this was by far the best, the water is so clear and the dolphins were so active. Due to king tides and winds the water wasn’t safe in the coral reefs, but they wanted to give us a great experience still so we ended up in a sponge garden, I wanted to see a ray and Charlie did find one during our snorkel and came to get me to show us which I thought was very special. They also took us to another spot since we had extra time to show us some sharks which was such an amazing added bonus for me since I really wanted to see one. They have amazing fruit and veggie trays as well which was another bonus! Would book here 1000% and not even think about going anywhere else, they have many tours to choose from including sailing!+2Posted on Google![]()

Great trip with Honest Eco in Key West! Despite the wind, the ride was very pleasant: we saw dolphins and did a bit of snorkeling, even if the water was a little murky that day. Captain Noah and his first mate Sarah were awesome. Small group and eco-friendly, a completely different experience from the big crowded boats. Highly recommend!Posted on Airbnb![]()

3rd time out with Honest Eco This is our 3rd trip out with Honest Eco. And even tho it was a little chilly in the water and the winds were not cooperating it was still an enjoyable snorkel and boat ride. We got to see all sorts of sponges and baby fish, and don’t forget the stingray and huge moon jelly’s. I’ve never seen a jelly fish that large and up close before, beautiful but I’ll keep my distance. The crew are always knowledgeable, friendly and helpful especially to the first timers. We will book again and again with Honest Eco, no other company comes close!Posted on Google![]()

We had an absolutely amazing time on our dolphin watching, snorkeling, and sandbar outing with Honest Eco Tours in Key West! We specifically chose Honest Eco because their guides are biologists, and they ensure that the tour is completely eco-friendly and does not harm any wildlife or the environment. Captain Libby and our guide, Charlie, were awesome! They were super helpful, informative, and fun! We brought our 14 and 11-year-old sons, and they both thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the trip too. We loved the delicious fresh fruit and vegetable snacks provided on board. The snorkeling was wonderful, hanging out at the sandbar was the perfect way to relax, and we were thrilled to see some beautiful dolphins! It was the perfect family adventure. I'd highly recommend booking a trip with Honest Eco!Posted on Google![]()

Well run trip guided by a marine biologist who also knows birds. They found dolphin in spite of tough weather conditions. We didn't make it out to the reef due to the weather but there was plenty to see snorkeling in the wildlife preserve.Posted on Google![]()

Vicky21 October 2026Verified
I had two magical moments during this adventure via Squid. One, I had fun flowing along the currents with a horseshoe crab that was also just flowing along. I felt like I was okay doing that for a long, long time. Two, I saw 3 dolphins right beneath the bow riding the waves. It was fun following Charles as he snorkeled around the reef looking for interesting life forms, pointing them out to us, and explaining the information he shared about them. Importantly, what made this tour great was that Charles had a good attitude toward questions and showed the true spirit of a scientist (he's a marine biologist) by admitting when he didn't know something. I have studied science-related matters for many years; I firmly believe that no one on earth knows everything, not even the entirety of the scientific literature. So I respect him a lot for open attitude in offering to answer any questions, as well as his honesty in answering them. He embodied the name of the company, Honest Eco!Posted on Airbnb![]()

Very family friendly, great crew, and they did a super job with providing veggies and fruit that were top notch! It was great find for people looking for something other than a bag of chips and a booze cruise. The only downside is that the reefs themselves do not compare to the reefs in Key Largo...if that is what you are looking for.Posted on Google![]()

We did the dolphin and snorkeling tour with Jordan and Charlie. We had a great time. We were able to see a lot of dolphins and Charlie, first mate, was able to share a lot of information on dolphins. We then went snorkeling, and loved it. We saw a lot, like lobster, lion fish, tons of tropical fish, coral; Since Charlie is a marine biologist, he was able to point things out for us. Jordan was a great captain and was able to tell about the Key West water areas, channels, depth etc. We would definitely do it again....Posted on Google![]()

Best trip of the week in Key West We’ve been in Key West for a week, hitting all the museums and parks, and even thoroughly enjoying a sunset dinner cruise. But today was our last day, and we definitely saved the best for last with the Schooner Appledore Snorkel and Kayak Tour. Captain Jordan and First Mate Pintaliy were absolutely awesome. The food was great, too—pulled pork BBQ, chicken salad sliders, slaw, pasta salad, and boiled shrimp made for a super filling lunch in a gorgeous setting. Highly recommend them if you're looking for a great all-day cruise!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Exactly what we were looking for! We have done about a dozen trips like this and our trip with Honest Eco was by far the best. The crew, Charlie, Dan and Jordan were extremely knowledgeable, very attentive to detail and made sure that everyone had what they needed and enjoyed the sail. We will certainly book with Honest Eco again when we return to Key West.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Wonderful outing to several special locations around the waterways of Key West. The outgoing trip revealed amazing ocean birds and sea life. Then we arrived to where dolphins play and socialize, which was wonderful. Our sandbar experience was wonderful and peaceful, with fresh fruits offered as we soaked in the sites from the sandbar. The crew was so very knowledgeable and obviously loved what they do. Thank you for such a great day!Posted on Airbnb![]()

Best tour in Key West We enjoyed Honest Eco so much that we booked 2 tours just a few weeks apart in September! Our first was with Sara and Mo, and our second with Kristen and Sav. Both crews were fantastic!! They were all friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the wildlife and environment of the Keys. Each tour was fun and educational, with incredible wildlife, beautiful scenery, and great snacks along the way. We had different family members join us each time, and everyone was thrilled with the experiences. Two wonderful tours with two amazing crews—we’ll definitely choose Honest Eco again!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

We had a great time, even though the water was pretty rough and there were quite a few jellyfish. Charles was extremely knowledgeable about the birds and different species of fish, and it was really nice that he got in the water with us to point out different marine life and share interesting facts. He also made sure to point out the jellyfish so we could avoid them, which was really thoughtful. We were lucky enough to see two different species of sharks, as well as a playful dolphin that came right up to the boat to say hi! Overall, it was a great experience, and Charles and other staff members really made the trip special with their knowledge and enthusiasm.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

A perfect day on and in the water A perfect day on and in the water. Captain Kristen was a fantastic guide. Her knowledge of the history, wildlife, and ins and outs of living and boating in Key West added context and fun to our adventure. We cruised with the dolphins, snorkeled over a snoozing nurse shark and his goliath grouper friends, soaked in the view with our toes nestled in a sandbar, and wrapped up our tour watching a squadron of frigatebirds ride into the clouds on a thermal. Perfect.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Wonderful Experience 🌊🐬 An Absolutely Incredible Key West Eco Boat Experience! 🐬🌊 This was honestly one of the highlights of our time in Key West! From start to finish, the entire experience was absolutely amazing. We started with a dolphin watch, where we were lucky enough to see several beautiful pods of dolphins swimming and playing in the wild. It was such a special way to begin the trip! We then headed to two separate snorkeling spots on the reefs, and both were incredible. The crew made the experience feel very personal by taking the time to get in the water and snorkel alongside our small group. They were extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about the marine life and environment. The final stop was a beautiful sandbar surrounded by crystal-clear blue water. We were treated to fresh, beautifully cut fruit while relaxing in the water—it was the perfect, peaceful ending to an unforgettable day. 🍉🍍🌴 The small-group experience made such a difference. The crew was attentive, welcoming, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel comfortable throughout the entire trip. If you’re visiting Key West and looking for an eco-friendly experience that combines dolphins, snorkeling, beautiful reefs, crystal-clear water, and genuinely wonderful people, I cannot recommend this trip highly enough! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely unforgettable and worth every moment! 🐬💙Posted on Airbnb![]()

Fun experience. I went with a group of friends on a day trip to the Keys and can definitely say it was everyone’s highlight of the day. We got to see the dolphins and while snorkeling we saw sharks, stingrays, barracudas, and plenty of different types of fish. Hospitality was also 10/10 and crew was very knowledgeable and really helped guide us through the snorkeling to be able to see what was around. Definitely recommend and would go back.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Boat Trip - Dolphins and Snorkelling. An incredible experience made perfect by our guide ‘Charlie’.

Super fun! Alexa & Claire were great. No sand bar, but great snorkeling. The provided veggies with hummus & fresh fruit. Would definitely recommend. We had $100 off through Air Bnb & that made it even better. A total of 8 people on our boat made a great experience and not to over crowded. Definitely recommend this and expect to tip them 20% if you can. That’s how these folks make their $!Posted on Airbnb![]()

This was my first time snorkeling and it was an awesome experience! We got to see dolphins from the boat and then went on to a thousand year old coral reef where we found tons of fish and also a huge Turtle! It was an all girls crew with Captain Alexa and our Guide Claire who came out with us in the water and made sure we were comfortable and made it known that help was available if needed. Truly an awesome experience.Posted on Airbnb![]()

WOW! I recently went through a life changing event, the hardest of my career. During this, I gained a new perspective on living my life to the fullest. Booking this tour as a person DEATHLY afraid of sharks was part of that. It was truly amazing. The reef snorkle was more beautiful than my imagination could envision, so many fish in a rainbow of colors, such lively coral! & I did have the opportunity to face my greatest fear, but with kind & friendly guides Sarah & Captain Noah. Sarah pointed out some peaceful nurse sharks in the reef, & I was able to stay calm in the water & see them for the vital part of the ecosystem that they were. When my panic attack set in back on the boat, Sarah gave me candied ginger for the nausea that I had & both members of the crew were so gracious as I took awhile to process my feelings. We ended the tour communing with a pod of dancing dolphins, including a baby who dipped & turned around us, showing off their swimming skills. 10/10!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

AMAZING!! This was by far the absolute best thing we did all week on our vacation. We stayed out in Deerfield Beach and were unsure about the 4 hour drive to key west, but it is absolutely worth the trip. This was by far the most amazing experience and totally unforgettable!! Smalls and Hadden were great and very knowledgeable. They made the trip that much better. If you’re questioning whether or not to take a hike and do this, DO IT! Don’t question yourself just get in the car and go you will NOT regret it!! Truly an amazing experience!!! I mean it’s a win win, the price is very reasonable, (actually cheaper than we had expected which is always nice), and it’s an experience you won’t ever forget!! We would definitely do it again! Thank you for a memory our family will always remember!!!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Awesome Experience from first time KW'ers We had such a wonderful time with Honest Eco on their snorkel and sandbar tour. Our group was 4 adults and 3 kids, ages 9–11, and it was truly a highlight of our trip to Key West. Everyone had an amazing time. Captain Dan and First Mate Haddon were absolutely incredible. They were warm, attentive, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience feel easy and special from start to finish. They were so great with both the adults and the kids, and you could really tell how much they care about what they do. Their love for the ocean and their knowledge of the area made the trip feel much more personal and meaningful. We also really appreciated the fresh fruit, veggies, hummus, and filtered water. Those thoughtful touches made such a difference and added to the relaxed, cared-for feeling of the whole outing. What we loved most about Honest Eco is that it offers such a refreshing alternative to the loud, crowded party boats. If you are visiting Key West and want something more peaceful, family-friendly, and authentic, this is the trip to book. It was clear that the people behind this business truly care about the ocean environment and conserving it, and that made us feel even better about choosing them. We would highly recommend Honest Eco to anyone visiting Key West who wants a beautiful, fun experience on the water while supporting a business that genuinely respects and cares for the marine environment.Posted on Airbnb![]()

This was my best snorkeling experience ever and my first dolphin encounter. Libby and Charlie ( our hosts) were super knowledgeable about marine life and i felt like I was talking to a professor because I asked a million questions to further understanding of dolphins and they satisfied my curiosity. This tour is the real deal and we got see everything that they advertised and more. It got the point that I had enough of watching the dolphins and I was wishing to move on… and we did and then we got to see more kool fishes really close- Goliath groupers, sting rays, barracudas, and the infamous…. Definitely worth it. This was the highlight of my trip.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Easily the most well rounded tour in Key West! Captain Mo and Sara were the bomb.com!!!! I have done a load of snorkeling in my day and this was such a great, well rounded experience. Captain was so willing to explain her process and what she looks for when scouting for animals. Sara was so sweet and fun! Spotted eagle rays, dolphins, sting rays, barracuda, and (my personal favorite) a bonnet head shark!!! Sandbar was super fun! Next time, we’ll for sure bring some beverages and perhaps a lil float to enjoy. Would 100% do this exact tour again in the future! If you only have time or money for one boating excursion, absolutely pick this one. Small business, eco conscious, well rounded, and well run! (Sara, I hope to see you on Below Deck in a few seasons!!!!)Posted on Tripadvisor![]()
Samantha K16 August 2026Verified
Worth every cent Let me just start off my saying if you’re goal is to see as many sea creatures as possible and be out on the water for along time this is the tour to go on. There was only about 15 people in our group. Charlie and Libbie both were super knowledgeable and willing to answer everyone’s questions. We went to few different area. One area was to see dolphins. We ended up seeing so many. They came right up to the boat. Then we traveled over to an area to snorkel. Charlie got off the boat and led us around the reef. We were fortunate to snorkel with sting rays, massive grouper fish, multiple nurse sharks, and even a lemon shark. The last place we stopped at was a sand bar and we were able to spend some time of the boat swimming around in super shallow water. It was nice because it is the height of sargassum season rn so most of the beaches aren’t great and the smell can be overbearing. On the way back in we were able to see a turtle as well. It was truly an amazing time. Honest eco is one of the smaller tour companies in Key West. I’m all about sharing the love with the smaller local companies that are trying to thrive on the island and it is was worth every cent. Please greatly consider honest eco for your snorkeling if you go. :)Posted on Airbnb![]()

Super easy to book. Great directions to the boat and for checking in, what to bring. Loved being on a small tour- 15 of us that day. From first time to experienced snorkelers, first mate Charlie and Captain Mo took great care of us all. The tour promised 3 stops- and being a small company they decided our itinerary order and specific locations based on this afternoon's weather- giving us a calm snorkel in a nursery area, time in the "dolphins' playground", and ending with relaxing in waist deep water on a sandbar 7miles off the coast- being served our veggies and hummus while we relaxed in the water! Thanks Captain Mo! Our crew had tremendous knowledge of the area, the animals, and a clear love of and respect for this beautiful habitat.Posted on Yelp![]()

Dan, Charlie, and Savannah made our two-part snorkel trip amazing! After our first attempt got cut short with bad weather, they took us out the next day for another great adventure. Can't say enough about how knowledgeable the crew is and how easily they can make the best out of a day at sea.+0Posted on Yelp![]()

This was our second time booking with Hinwst Eco on our 2nd trip to Key West and again the experience did not disappoint. If you go to Key West you must book a trip with them. We had an amazing time. First the snorkeling is wonderful and the captain and first mate took excellent care of us. Made sure we were safe and had a pointed out fish and beat parts to look. They even brought fruit out on the sand bar. The dolphins swimming besides us on the way back was surreal. Take any of honest eco trips. You will have a wonderful time!Posted on Yelp![]()

Capt. Alexa with Mates Heather and Sarah led us on an amazing adventure kayaking the mangroves and snorkeling on the reef. The ladies were so professional and knowledgeable about all that we did and saw. I felt completely at ease on this trip. We saw so many fish, turtles, and birds. There was ice cold water and wonderful fresh snacks on the trip. My husband and I are in our mid-60s and had no problem with kayaking or snorkeling. I would 100% recommend this trip with Honest Eco.Posted on Yelp![]()

This was an absolutely PHENOMENAL tour and experience- Charlie and Jessie were incredible, they went positively above and beyond to give us a great experience, and their knowledge about the area and the wildlife is 15/10. Particularly appreciated not only their knowledge, but their respectful approach to viewing the wildlife and prioritizing their safety and comfort. If you want a true educational and in-depth Key West experience, especially one that does not force tourists on the animals around them, this is the team for you. Thank you Jessie and Charlie!!Posted on Yelp![]()

I took the guided kayaking and snorkel tour - it was unlike (in a good way) any other water tour I've taken in Key West. Dan and Jackie were an outstanding crew, they kept it light, fun, and safe. The kayak tour amongst the mangroves (you actually paddle into them!) was super informative and interesting. The snorkeling portion was not at a dying reef (typical of most Key West snorkeling trips), but at the Key West National Wildlife Refuge where Jackie pointed out live sponges, lobsters, and fish. While on the boat, we were served fresh pineapple, carrots, cucumbers, and delicious hummus. Honest Eco is genuinely concerned about the environment, they are a top notch operation. I would re-book with them in an instant.Posted on Yelp![]()

Wow - what a fab team! These Eco friendly and supportive guide and captain were amazing. Hadden - had more knowledge about dolphins and sooo many marine based science topics, one person on the boat was like 'I should be taking notes'. Andrew as Captain was smooth, steady, and a gem!!! If you wish to have a wonderful, insightful, and environmentally friendly trip in the Keys, HIGHLY recommend. You won't regret it!Posted on Yelp![]()

We went on the sunset and dolphin cruise with Dale and Hadden. They were both hilarious and lovely. we saw many dolphins and they seemed to operate the most dolphin caring cruise in the area. I would recommend their cruise above any others for their care, knowledge and vibes.Posted on Yelp![]()
