This 2 hour loop around Bahia Honda and out to No Name Key and the backcountry with Captain Brian is a must. See the Gulf and Ocean sides. Skinny water and beautiful beaches. Cruise under bridges and have your photos taken. This is a great way to get on the water - and just may be the best deal in the Keys! Your captain will share some historical and ecological tidbits along the way. Learn about mangroves. Look for marine life - Bahamian starfish, sponges, turtles, rays, dolphin. Take a dip if you like at a local sandbar or just drift in the Backcountry.

Keys Boat Tours is a recreational minded boat tour operation offering a variety of Florida Keys outings including; motor, fish, stand up paddleboard (SUP), kayak, and eco. It is an option for the whole family, where dad can get his fishing in, but everyone can equally enjoy. Best of all, we keep it comfortable, so to avoid choppy waters. The winter months are generally a little windy and not the flat pristine water of summertime. We want to keep everyone comfortable. This is one area that makes us unique. The FL Keys is as much about the water as land, if not more so. We provide a service to get you out on the water–and have fun.

The two patch reef zones at Newfound Harbor Key Sanctuary Preservation is a good alternative to Looe Key when the conditions are not as favorable. This half-mile square inshore patch reef is just off Little Palm Island Resort and partially within the Coupon Bight Aquatic Preserve. This snorkel tour is two hours as opposed to three, so more affordable. But, not nearly as colorful as Looe Key. You will see a good variety of tropical fish, perhaps smaller than out at the reef but still impressive. The fish that you might encounter at the patch reef include: hogfish, grouper, parrotfish, grunt, barracuda, and more. The coral here is not colorful per se, but people still enjoy it. Add an hour and hit Picnic Island to paddle board some afterward.

The Everglades area is a vast and varied ecosystem containing the largest mangrove forest in North America. Throughout the forest are brackish "lakes" whose waters are a mix of "sweet" freshwater and saltwater. This is part of what makes the Everglades so special. These lakes, surrounded by mangroves, are refuges and nursery grounds for herons, egrets, stilts, ducks, wood storks, spoonbills, alligators, otters and a gamut of fishes. This is where the Everglades transition from freshwater to saltwater and is a wonderful place to experience.
