Best tour in Key West
jo4razorbacks, September 2026
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!

An incredibly beautiful experience
lisabD3995ZV, September 2026
We participated in the tour as a family with a toddler. Captain Mo and her first mate Charly took us to great spots and answered all our questions. Anyone who really wants to learn something about the nature and history of Key West is in the right place here!
We are impressed by the knowledge that was passed on to us and thank you from the bottom of our hearts for this wonderful time.
We were completely satisfied and would recommend them with all our hearts!
