Six Fins Private Key West Eco Tour – Wildlife Refuge Adventure

Show all photos
3 hours (approximately)

This is the only private eco boat trip that focuses exclusively on the Key West National Wildlife Refuge in such depth. Rather than hitting common tourist spots, you’ll venture into parts of the Refuge that most tours skip — winding mangrove fingers, quiet flats, and hidden inlets. With a private charter, you set the pace and direction; there’s no fixed route. Whether you want to snorkel, birdwatch, photograph or quietly drift among wildlife, this experience gives you deep access and unmatched natural beauty — all guided by permitted, knowledgeable local captains who respect the refuge’s delicate ecology.

What to expect

Embark on a private eco-adventure aboard Six Fins and explore the Key West National Wildlife Refuge, a pristine sanctuary of islands, mangroves, and coastal ecosystems. Glide past lush mangrove creeks, shallow flats, and sea grass habitats teeming with wildlife. Spot shorebirds, nesting sea turtles, wading birds, and possibly dolphins navigating the protected waters.

Your USCG-licensed captain will tailor the route based on weather and wildlife activity, making spontaneous stops for snorkeling in hidden shallows or floating among quiet natural inlets. You’ll enjoy plenty of time for nature photography, swimming in calm backwaters, and learning about the fragile ecosystems from an expert local guide.

This trip is ideal for nature lovers, photographers, and families seeking a serene, immersive experience — far removed from crowded tour routes. Discover the wild side of Key West in complete privacy and comfort.
