Fun and relaxing in the sun
Bianca_S, Mar 2024
It was a very well put together tour, very enjoyable with activity but also some time to just relax and cruise. Libby and Angela were super friendly and clearly know their stuff, but also were just fun to chat with. Lunch was great as well!
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Happy you liked the tour, especially how we mix fun activities with chill time. Libby and Angela are all about making your day great, showing off our hospitality. Also, glad you enjoyed lunch! Our small groups mean we get to keep it personal and fun. See you next time! 🌊🌞
Great day in January while it snowed at home

Captain Libby and 1st Mate Brian were great, despite the fact that Brian's a Maine Black Bear ;) They were able to check off all the boxes for this trip starting off with a lucky manatee sighting just as we were preparing to leave the dock. kayaking at Cottrell Key, and as we were transiting to our snorkel spot by Archer Key we happened upon a pod of 8 dolphins. Brian is a wealth of knowledge about the mangroves, the Keys and the wildlife proving he learned something at UMaine. Snorkeling was okay by Archer Key. There are probably better snorkel spots on the Atlantic reef side of Key West. On our way back to port we even saw a hammerhead shark surface chasing after a snack. The lunch consisted of some good organic offerings. We had one nut allergy in our party and they were good about pulling up the ingredients list and working with her to make sure she didn't consume anything with nuts. I'd recommend this tour and Libby and Brian anytime.

Thank you for recounting your adventure with Captain Libby and 1st Mate Brian! It's fantastic to hear that your trip was full of highlights, including a lucky manatee sighting at the start, kayaking, and encountering a pod of dolphins and even a hammerhead shark. We're glad Brian's knowledge enriched your experience and that the snorkeling and organic lunch met your expectations, especially with the careful handling of dietary needs. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we look forward to the opportunity to welcome you back for another memorable tour.
Highly recommend in Key West!

Definitely recommend the Blue Q excursion for kayak and snorkeling. Crew was very knowledgeable and friendly. Food was fabulous. Loved the smaller group atmosphere. If you’re looking for a cruise packed wall to wall with drunk people, this is not for you.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Thank you for recommending the Blue Q excursion and sharing your positive experience! We're delighted to hear that our crew's knowledge and friendliness, along with the fabulous food, contributed to your enjoyment. It's great that the smaller group atmosphere was to your liking, providing a more personalized and relaxed experience. We appreciate your insight for future guests looking for a different kind of adventure—one that focuses on the beauty of nature, the thrill of exploration, and the joy of learning, rather than a party atmosphere. Looking forward to welcoming you back for more memorable kayak and snorkeling adventures!
Excellent experience

The staff was incredible, from captain Billy, Brian and Annie. The knowledge that was shared about Key West was so interesting. The food was amazing and the day on the water was more then our family had hoped for a return trip is a must
