What a fun way to spend an afternoon! Because of the size of the boats, you are able to go in areas other boats cannot. This up-close look at the mangrove system is amazing!
Great day on the water!

What a great day on the water! The crew were fantastic to work with and provided an experience that you don't find at other vacation locations! I would highly recommend this tour for anybody who was wanting something a little different! We enjoyed every second of it!
Amazing trip

We had a great time with Bridget. The mini speedboats were so much fun. My husband had so much fun driving them. It was a small group only 3 other boats which made it really nice. We did have to stop several times during the trip so Bridget could help some people who weren’t that familiar with driving a boat but that was to be expected. She took us to Mud Keys and through some back country. We weren’t able to see too many marine life when snorkeling but that was likely due to the effects from the Hurricane. Overall we would go again and bring friends with us.
Amazing

Very fun experience. Our tour guide, Bridget, did a great job! We adventured around the mangroves and open waters. We stopped to snorkel and explore. Bridget was personable and let us choose what we wanted to do on the tour.
Why ride when you can drive!?

Tour guide Bridget was fun and very informative.
Getting to drive your own boats made this excursion extremely unique.

Awesome, adventurous boat ride to the Mangroves where we got to hang out in calm waters for awhile. Great service from our guide. This is a more personal experience since the number of boats (2 people per motorcraft) are limited for the outing. Loved every minute!
Great last minute find

Excellent trip! Great guide & weather. We booked this in place of another excursion that we cancelled. It was fun to drive the little boats. Mike was great and who couldn’t love his Tiny sidekick. Would recommend.
Sorry, but go a different route. .

First of all, the staff was very friendly. Christie did the paperwork and Michael did the tour. Both were very friendly and knowledgeable.
The boats…average at best. The boats are small, cramped, and underpowered. They ride ok, but if you are a regular boater and have your own boat, you will be disappointed.
The tour…single file and all stay together. I get it, you don’t want people venturing all over but when you are driving across the flats and everyone has to stay in line and all follow at the same speed, what the heck. We drove through a few mangroves then went to a beach area with trash and an old base from a fish cooker laying on the bank. We beached there and Michael said we could snorkel along the mangroves if we wanted. Didn’t look like a completely safe place to just head out and snorkel here. We decided to stay and swim, but that wasn’t good either. Once you went out past knee deep water and put your you feet down, it became a deep muddy bottom. Once you stirred up the bottom walking in it, the smell was so bad of rotten seaweed (as our tour guide said), you couldn’t swim there. We requested to go to a sandbar instead and he politely took us to one. It was ok as there was nobody else around. If you have ever been to the sandbar at Islamorada, this was no comparison as Islamorada is spectacular. The drive back was nothing more than a ride back across the flats. We even made 2 ridiculous giant circles in the boats on the way back to take up a little time so we didn’t get back to early. Again, Michael was great, but if it was me, I would pick a tour where you ride on a boat with a guide and you can sit back, have a few drinks, and enjoy.
