My wife and I did Honest Eco’s “All of the Above” tour, and it was phenomenal. Bryan, Sarah, Jesse, and Rachel were perfect guides/hosts/captains. They provided a ton of information, which I guess you’d expect when they all either have or are pursuing degrees in the biology/ecology space, but they were also a lot of fun. The snorkeling equipment was excellent, much nicer and more user-friendly than what we were provided through Pennekamp State Park earlier in the week (and the state park’s equipment was totally fine; Honest Eco was just a lot better). The tour walked the talk on eco-consciousness, too - all the water bottles were reusable, no disposable plates/cutlery at lunch, used the sail as much as possible instead of the engine, etc. We had very little wind, which slowed us down, but we still had great snorkeling, spent plenty of time watching the dolphins that popped up around us, and made it to the mangroves to kayak. The snorkeling and kayaking were made so much more interesting with the guides in the water with us explaining what flora and fauna we were seeing and how they fit into the broader ecosystem. And on top of it all, the food was delicious.
My wife and I were totally blown away. I cannot recommend this tour...
Read moreWe had an absolutely amazing experience on this tour, and we are so grateful to Bryan and Rachel for making it so memorable! Even though we were a very small group, they still continued the tour, and we truly appreciated their dedication and enthusiasm.
Bryan, an incredibly knowledgeable ecological expert, guided us through the beautiful sponge garden area while snorkeling. We saw a variety of marine life, including groupers, lionfish, and parrotfish, and even got to gently touch a benign jellyfish—such a unique experience!
The kayaking portion through the mangroves was equally fascinating. Paddling through the narrow pathways of the thick mangrove forest in the middle of the ocean was both serene and thrilling. Bryan’s insights made us appreciate the ecosystem even more.
To top it all off, Rachel, our wonderful ship captain, set the sails on the catamaran, and we enjoyed a breathtaking sunset while snacking on delicious and healthy treats. The conversations we had throughout the tour made the experience even more special.
Rachel and Bryan are incredibly hardworking, kind, and knowledgeable, and we can’t recommend this tour enough. If you're looking for an adventure that combines nature, learning, and relaxation, this is the...
Read moreI live in Key West and have my parents visiting from Germany. We took the dolphin watch and snorkel tour on the catamaran Squid, great boat with shaded seating. When we arrived at the dolphin playground a bunch of dolphins greeted us right away, with jumps and tailwaving. They even showed off a baby. So fun to watch them glide through the turquoise sparkling water. They stayed with us until we left to go to our snorkeling spot. That reef, was full of all sorts of fish, besides a large stingray that was checking us out as much as we were him. A large group of barracudas came swimming through. I usually see only one at a time swimming around. I missed the giant Loggerhead turtle, that was swimming by the boat on the other side. When I was back on the boat a large shark swam by and we were served a nice refreshing snack of all organic, tasty fruits and vegetables, by one of the fun, interested and knowledgeable crewmembers, that made the whole trip work out smooth and unforgettable. The relaxed atmosphere with chill music made me dose off for a minute on the way back.My parents were thrilled and so was I. I highly suggest taking this trip♥️thank you Honest Eco, I only got on photo that's...
