We booked this trip because of the marine biology and conservation efforts. I am so glad we did. Heather was wonderful, she taught us about the local ecosystem without making it feel like a lecture. Wade was awesome as well, very funny and very knowledgeable about the area. He made it his mission to find us some dolphins to see. They provide all snorkel equipment, including a wet suit in colder months, which I was grateful for. They also have float belts for those who are not strong swimmers. The snorkel location was about 9-15 feet I believe. Heather snorkeled with us and guided us and taught us along the way. She found a purple sea urchin to show us who had camouflaged with shells! After the snorkel she cut up fresh fruit for us, which was delicious. There is a “head” on the boat (or bathroom) which is very much like an airplane bathroom, except for the flushing which you do by hand. There is plenty of seating down below with shade, and an upper deck to watch from. We saw dolphins, a manatee, and a sea turtle!

I love that you booked our boat tour because of the marine biology and conservation efforts that’s what we’re all about! And I’m so glad you had such an awesome experience with Wade and Heather. They both have a way of making learning fun and engaging, and Wade definitely takes his dolphin-finding mission seriously. It sounds like you had an incredible snorkel, too! Heather is great at guiding guests and pointing out the coolest finds how awesome was that purple sea urchin camouflaging with shells? And fresh fruit after snorkeling? Always hits the spot! We get those from Date and Thyme a local cafe, they make the best organic snacks, and we love supporting local businesses.
And wow, dolphins, a manatee, and a sea turtle all in one trip? That’s some serious wildlife luck right there! Thanks for choosing Honest Eco again and I hope to see you soon!
