Florida Keys Backcountry Eco Tour from Big Pine Key

Captain Brian was the best! He was incredibly patient with our kids and so knowledgeable about finding the best spots for us to enjoy our day. From the start, his priority was making sure we had the best experience possible. He even recommended changing our original reef tour because the water was too rough, knowing it wouldn’t be enjoyable—or as safe—for our 7- and 10-year-olds. I really appreciated his honesty and the fact that he put our family’s experience ahead of everything else. Thanks to him, we had an amazing day on the water and made memories we’ll never forget. We can’t wait to come back and book another trip with Captain Brian. Highly recommend!

We really enjoyed this boat tour. We saw manatee, dolphin, shark, tarpon, and some shore birds. Brian is very knowledgeable about the area and gave us lots of information about the history, the wildlife, and the ecosystem. It was very enjoyable to boat out into and around the mangrove Islands.

Great day on the water! We moved to BPK and wanted a day on the water with an experienced Captain to show us around. Capt. Brian was great. Friendly, engaging and knowledgeable. Beautiful 2 hours on the water! Had dolphins play with the boat and saw some cool sights. He even took us by our house on a canal! Will use Capt. Brian again when my son comes down to show him the area so he knows where to go with his boat to be safe. Thanks Capt.! We will see you again soon!

Great boat trip seeing the islands.

We were originally planning on doing the Looe Key snorkeling trip with Capt Brian. He was monitoring conditions leading up to our trip however and determined it wasn’t safe out at the reef, and we were glad to not journey out there in very rough conditions. So we changed it up and did a snorkeling trip to the mangroves/eco tour. We had a great time, saw a different habitat and lots of fish. Despite the windy and choppy conditions everywhere around us, the area he took us to was completely sheltered and glassy smooth - perfect and safe for snorkeling. Excellent communication leading up to our trip with Allison, and Brian was great with our family/teens. On the way out he pointed out a bunch of stuff which added to our day. We’ll try for Looe Key again next trip to Keys and will definitely book with Brian again.

My husband and I enjoyed the boat tour and got to see dolphins, turtles and crabs. Captain Brian was friendly and very knowledgeable of area. Excellent tour!

High level experience, saw the wonder of the Keys , Spotted a Big Nurse Shark within a minute if getting on the boat then so much more. Really Delightful

Beautiful day for a boat ride and exploring secret islands and places. Capt Brian gave us a great experience even though it was quite windy. He found a large group of white pelicans and we also saw a short tailed hawk. All in all a great experience.

We had a great day cruising the waters of the lower keys with captain Brian . We made it all the way out to the beautiful content keys were we were able to get off the boat swim and walk the island. What a great way to end our weekend trip!

Great guy and captain. Very informative and amazing scenery. We all loved this tour. Would highly recommend this if you want a boat tour of the area.
