What are people saying about Florida

MargaretLori_H, Jul 2026

Absolutely fantastic

Absolutely fantastic. Eli was our guide and captain Jason took us to spots where a Mama Manatee and her calf hung out. We spent a good 50 minutes in the water with Eli redirecting us as the manatees moved. Water was not clear, but we could see manatees when they were close. In mid-July, I wore my own shorty wetsuit and was very comfortable after the initial surprising dip in 72* water. We were given a noodle for extra buoyancy. No fins allowed. Equipment seemed to be in excellent condition and boat was neat and clean. Van ride is extremely short and our boat ride was short because Mama Manatee was spotted quickly.

We celebrated our 25th anniversary with this amazing crew!

Anne and her awesome crew, Conner and Cohen. They were so kind and courteous. We had a blast kayaking and snorkeling. Well to be honest we floated by the boat and enjoyed the ocean. They went above and beyond to make everyone feel good. Anne was an excellent boat captain. I highly recommend this activity.

Amazing experience. Captain Aaron and his first mate Jaleesa did a great job explaining the trip, guiding us to snorkeling spots and helping us identify all the wildlife we saw. The highlight was an Eagle Ray, small sea turtle and the Jesus statue!! So great. 5 out of 5

Snorkel & Dolphin Sightseeing Tour Aboard the Footloose

Clint_G, Jun 2026

Absolute blast

I had 7 with my party when we went and the day before I spent well over 500 going to ship wreck island , this was so much cheaper and 10 out of 10 a much better time !!! I will say this the captains deck hand makes so mean drinks on board and is awesome at keeping them flowing while setting anchor and setting out the ladders and helping dock the boat , with that being said remember when ur feet hit dry land ur youv made it to dock , its a whole other ride lol 😂 and the drinks are great and cheaper anywhere else ull go in Panama City. As far as our experience hands down a wonder time cap. Stopped the boat at shell island right on a area with a bunch sand dollars and she was very informative the whole trip showing us the landscapes and teaching us about some of the wildlife we saw , and the music she played set the mood . Like I said if your looking just to go out and buy drinks somewhere instead of doing that set up a trip with these guys i promise Ull save money while at the same time having a blast and actually be able to relax and enjoy Panama City the way you deserve being on vacation . Me and my family will definitely be going back !!! Thank y’all for awesome experience

Half Day Snorkel Trip on Reefs in the Florida Keys

Lora_W, Jun 2026

Great, especially for beginners!

This was Awesome! If you are a beginner, rusty and a little bit worried or fearful of the unknown, this is for you. The hosts were kind, patient, and truly enjoy their job. My 18 yr old daughter didn’t get in but she took a nice boat ride. If you can bring an underwater camera. Since I was inexperienced, it was a bit to get my phone out in the waterproof pouch.

Key West Reef Morning Snorkeling with Breakfast and Mimosas

Erica_H, May 2026

Told to get there an hour...

Told to get there an hour early. You really only needed to get there about 30 minutes early. You don’t board based on the time you check in so getting there early doesn’t guarantee a seat. Being there extra early was just to give you an opportunity to shop. Otherwise Captain Ana and the rest of the crew were great. Definitely would do it again

Key West Afternoon Snorkel Sail with Unlimited Cocktails!

Melissa_C, Apr 2026

Great experience!

Fun day! We enjoyed the 45 minute ride to the reef, boat was clean and comfortable, crew was friendly, and there was a bathroom on board and plenty of water available. Snorkeling was great…beautiful reef, saw lots of fish, safety information and guidance from the crew was super helpful. Note…snorkeling was off the boat in open ocean, so maybe a bit intimidating for first timers or young kids? That said, the crew did a great job of providing help, ideas and modifications to accommodate various swimming levels and snorkeling experiences. Music and fruity adult drinks were also a fun touch! Would definitely recommend!

Key West Ultimate Watersports Adventure with Snorkeling Upgrade

Elizabeth_B, Apr 2026

Excellent

The half day option is fantastic with kids. Our 13 and 7 year old loved the adventures available. If you’re a lover of water and adventure/adrenaline, this is a great option to do it all. Families with kids who aren’t open to risk might feel it’s not worth the cost. My brave kids loved parasailing, banana boat and inflatable adventure course - I got to head out on the jet ski on my own and the crew entertained them with care. Bring cash to pay for the parasailing photos, totally worth it!!

Soundside Cruiser Snorkeling and Dolphin Watching Experience

Maria_P, Oct 2025

So much fun!

Me and my teenage daughter did our very first mother-daughter trip to Destin and we chose the Soundside Cruiser dolphin tour and snorkeling. Captain Sean was great! We saw lots of dolphins!! We even saw a few jellyfish and a couple of small sharks. After they took us snorkeling in some shallow water and we found lots of hermit crabs and some sea shells. My daughter really enjoyed it! Thank you Captain Sean for making our first mother-daughter trip so memorable! ❤️
