10/10!! - 10/10! Me and my friends went on the “all the above” tour and it was the best experience ever! I live in the keys and have been to other snorkeling tours, but this one is outstanding! Nice boat ride with dolphin watch and learning about the Florida keys biology, then kayaking guided tour in the mangroves with the great Hadden that had so much knowledge and interesting facts. Then snorkeling with captain Matt that showed us a huge Goliath grouper, big sting rays, lots of colorful fish and even a shark! The amazing organic lunch was delicious! Would definitely recommend and do it again! Thank you so much Honest Eco Tours, Matt and Hadden for such a great experience!

A magical family moment - I cannot speak highly enough of this experience, Matt and Hayden did an incredible job showing the reef and the animals to my daughters ( 5 and 8). We saw so many amazing things- it was an unforgettable adventure

Greatest Experience!! - Me and my kids had the Best experience with Honest Eco. Captain Todd and Bryan were Amazing and really made our trip great. They even turned the boat around to retrieve my hat that flew off. They were very personable and knowledgeable, learned lots about Dolphins, Birds, the mangroves and some historical facts. The food on board was great, they had ice cold water and fresh fruit. Everything was provided just all around great time. I would 10 out of 10 recommend doing this as a family trip!

Lovely day kayaking, snorkeling and dolphin watching - Learned a lot of interesting things about the surrounding ecology including the mangroves and dolphin behavior. Snorkeling and lunch were good too. Highly recommend this trip if you are interested in learning more about the ecology of the keys area and animal behavior and history.

Family Fun on Blu Q! - We had a great day on the water with Capt Libby and Brian! They are very knowledgeable about the wildlife and love what they do and that made for a great experience. We also enjoyed having a smaller group aboard the Blu Q! Highly recommend for families!

Dolphin mission accomplished. - Very fun experience with children, especially kayaking although we found bad weather and rain.
We got to see a lot of dolphins.
Snorkeling does not deserve much for the seabed (little stuff) and the points already set and known.
For the food on board there was everything, but little expected for Italian children; a little ham or cheese would have sufficed.
Cost certainly high.
Too bad about the sail we didn't use.

Great tour and fun crew! - This tour was amazing! The crew was very welcoming and friendly. We were lucky and saw several dolphins while also learning interesting facts about them from Brian. While snorkeling we saw several sting rays, tarpon, a grouper and a bunch of other types of fish.

5 Star - 1/2 day trip was a blast - kayak, snorkel, delicious food and saw group of 10+ dolphins with babies. Highly recommend! If Haden is your catamaran’s co-captain you’re in for a treat…a wealth of knowledge, funny and catered to every need….made the trip so enjoyable for all!
