On this private tour you will be guided by USCG‑licensed captains who have backgrounds in marine biology and environmental science. They will lead you through some of the most unique mangrove islands and channels in the area, sharing knowledge about the local ecosystems as you move through quieter waterways and open water.

Along the way you will be in search of native wildlife such as dolphins, manatees, crocodiles, nesting birds and more, though sightings cannot be guaranteed. The boats are equipped to access areas other vessels often cannot reach, including no‑combustion zones, so you may be able to experience quieter, less visited parts of the mangroves. Based in the lower end of Islamorada, the location offers quick access to both the mangrove islands and the ocean, giving you a varied coastal experience guided by staff with scientific experience.
