Kayak through uninhabited Mangrove Islands and Snorkel a calm spot in the Key West National Wildlife Refuge- then, conclude your perfect trip with a Sunset from the boat!

Perfect for couples and families looking to explore one of the oldest Wildlife Refuges in America, and know to do it with the Top Ranked Eco Tour Company In Key West.

Our 4 hour trips take place aboard our custom built boat- the Electric Catamaran SQUID. She Departs from the Historic Seaport in Old Town, and all trips features a fresh Organic Veggies and Hummus tray and a Fresh Organic Fruit Tray. Filtered water is provided in Reusable Kleen Kanteens.

If you want to do the above, and you also want to watch wild dolphins, then check out our “All the Above” trip! While it is a morning trip (so no sunset!) it does include a delicious, organic lunch from Date and Thyme.

We only take small groups and often Sell Out in advance prior to the day of departure. Weather Cancellation Policy

Kayaks are Great for Exploring the Refuge.

To experience the best the Wildlife Refuge has to offer, you have to get shallow and you have to get close! Kayaks are stable, easy to use and are environmentally low impact.

Before we venture out, you’ll receive a tutorial on how to maneuver your kayak.

We typically kayak for an hour or more and you can bring water bottles from our cooler.

Discover many different Species of Fish, Birds and Plants.

Peer into the water to see what fish or invertebrates like to hang out in the protection of the mangrove roots. Gaze over the shallow flats at low tide to see the herons and wading birds, patiently working for their meals, or maybe you’ll get to see a horseshoe crab as it labors by.

The best part is, you never know what you’re going to see, and sometimes it’s more about the serenity of the surroundings than checking a list. The only thing we really know is that you’re going to love it.

“The best way to see a fish, is to become a fish.” -Jacques Cousteau

We built SQUID to access protected, calm and clear snorkeling spots so that our crew can point out the most wildlife as they guide you on your snorkel.

• Quality Cressi Snorkel Gear that works

• Patient Instruction and Assistance, especially great for Novice and Beginner Snorkelers

One of the oldest Wildlife Refuges in the country, KWNWR was established by Teddy Roosevelt in 1908, to protect a crucial habitat and breeding ground for birds, turtles and other wildlife. The refuge’s size is 300 square miles and only 1% of that is comprised of the mangrove islands, yet their canopies provide shelter for 250 species of birds, their trunks house the mangrove crabs and their roots exhibit a microcosm of life as juvenile species, both prey and predator, begin their lives here.

We are grateful for many things at Honest Eco, but nothing compares to our gratitude for the people who work to deliver on our promises and work towards our Company Vision - day in and day out!

Crew training starts on land with research and mission alignment before moving onto the water where we hone our seamanship skills and work to become as effective as possible at delivering on Honest Eco’s Purpose.

Our crew are expected to be continuously learning and pushing Honest Eco to be as environmentally responsible as possible.
