Island Eco Tour  - Wild Dolphin Encounter - Snorkeling
All In One Trip

The Key West Island Eco Tour/Dolphin Encounter starts with an exploration of the uninhabited mangrove islands, teeming with wildlife and the natural history of the Florida Keys. The larger islands have
idyllic 

picturesque sandy beaches, most are an impenetrable tangle of the massive root system of the Red Mangrove.  The roots hold together muddy banks, and over time, an island is formed.  “Mangrove" is from a Native American word which means "trees that walk on water."  You will understand when you see these islands. The roots also provide a nursery for small lobster, snapper, snook and tarpon. (See our fishing page.) On the flats, the Great White Heron stalks it prey in statuesque form. Don’t forget your camera to capture the images of these wonderous moments! 
 

Wild Dolphin Encounter

Next: Your encounter with wild dolphins! 
The dolphin create unforgettable memories. As we approach the dolphins’ playground, they may come to the boat and ride the bow waves!  It’s just their way of saying, “Hello! Let’s play!“ Watch as they leap from the water in playful wonderment. You may see mothers teaching the babies to perfect their acrobatic skills. The grace of these mammals is breathtaking, and will offer you a renewed look at the happy, playful nature that is within all of us.
