What people are saying about Florida Keys

The tour and the guide were absolutely great, we have rarely done such a nice tour. Great nature and a drive to a collect island. The snorkeling wasn't that great as we are used to other things. Only one thing spoiled the tour for us and that was the woman from reception, I've rarely experienced something so unfriendly, we almost didn't do the tour.

Fabulous tour with Jeff and Gavin. They were conscientious and funny. Did a great briefing and catered well to all levels of skill. We got to go fast, and had the chance to see everything from mangroves to the local boats and shoreline. We came back for a second tour the same day it was so much fun.

Beautiful day on the boat, the guys are fantastic, full of kindness for the guests! We saw dolphins, snorkelled and then kayaked through the mangroves! To complete the day, a nice lunch and Mario's sangria! Absolutely to be recommended!

Wow, great experiences!! Best guides you can imagine. If you want to go fast there’s no problem. If you would like to go I bit slower just do it. Awesome with two guides . Thanks for the ride ! Best regards Larsson family from Sweden

Excellent experience with guide Nick. This is a great way to see the island from the outside-in.
