Biologist Owned & Operated: Dolphin Watching & Guided Snorkeling

About this experience

Introducing Squid! The quietest experience you will have on a boat while watching dolphins.
We worked with David Walworth, an MIT educated Naval Architect and Principal Engineer known for his high-efficiency catamaran designs, to build the perfect boat for our trips from scratch.

Our amazing crew are closely trained by our Honest Eco Biologists. Crew training starts on land with research and mission alignment before moving onto the water where we hone our seamanship skills and work to become as effective as possible at delivering on our Purpose.

We Work to Spread the Value of Wildlife Conservation
“People Protect What They Love.” Jacques Costeau said it, and it inspires us at Honest Eco as we work to help people discover and fall in love with the environment we are all part of.

We are continuously learning and pushing ourselves to be as environmentally responsible as possible.

Itinerary and highlights

You will meet your captain at, SQUID, 20 minutes before departure for boarding. Our crew are closely trained by biologists.
You will experience the quietest wildlife viewing boat in the keys while we head out on the water to an area that provides a year-round home for over 200 wild Bottlenose Dolphins.
We share the wonders of these marine mammals with you, while always operating our vessel in a manner that is safe and respectful. With the right know-how, we can usually find dolphins in under an hour and in calm waters.
After observing the dolphin's many different behaviors from the boat we will head to one of our favorite spots to snorkel with sponges, coral heads, or reef. We will take you to the best place with the best visibility that day. Your mate will be your guide, leading you around a calm snorkeling spot and pointing out animals that make our ecosystem unique, and answering any questions that you have.
We do not issue refunds if you miss the boat. It is best to ride a bike in Key West or take a cab. The marinas parking lot is not included. It can fill up in the afternoons please plan accordingly! Thank you!
