##Duration 3 Hours
##About On this tour, we show you The Keys how it should be seen: by water! We cruise the Bayside of the Keys or Florida Bay. On the ocean side you have to get into the water to see anything, on the bayside you can see all from our custom stable catamaran deck boat. You can see everything in the clear shallow water.
We don't do a serious Ecology tour; no talking about a tree or sponge for 30 minutes! We talk about what we find daily. We also talk about Pirates, Treasure ships, Native American History, and local Lore (mostly even true!). All the while we will be looking for wildlife such as manatees, dolphins, turtles, sharks, tropical fish and birds.
We will take you to a great shallow, clear and calm area perfect for snorkeling, swimming, or just to float
