Snorkeling and Kayaking 5 Stars Trip - Best part of Key West

I had the best time and the most amazing experience of the Key West trip. Morgan, Conner and Brian made you all feel like family. We hit some rain and they took care of us to get out of the rain. The snorkeling was amazing and the view of the fish were spectacular. Then we were off to kayaking around the mangroves. The birds were singing with nature. I would book them again.

Key West 2 Reef Snorkel Tour & Sunset Cruise with Beer & Wine

Dawn_C, Apr 2026

Amazing evening and memories!

We booked the morning off because we are the type of people that like to wake up and decide what we feel like doing the day of….come early and check in at desk to sign the waiver. There are many restaurants at the marina….we arrived about 2 hrs before and had plenty of time to eat, use restrooms apply our sunscreen and look around the docks at the fish and even saw a manatee hanging out under on our the bigger boats!!! It was a windy day so waters were a bit cloudy and choppy but nobody can control Mother Nature! My daughter and I had an amazing time and were still able to see lots of beautiful fish. The time slotted at each of the 2 coral reefs was just enough for us, as this was our first time snorkeling out in the open water and we were a little nervous to venture too far from the boat. The sunset was breath taking on the boat ride back-I would recommend getting a spot to snuggle up on the top deck for the best view! They stopped the boat as we passed a family of dolphins-it wasn’t a dolphin excursion but they may as well have been paid actors!! The crew was great and very knowledgeable! The one girl also gave us the best easy chill dinner recommendations after we docked. My 15 year old daughter had the best time and was all smiles from ear to ear the rest of the night!! Thank you!!!

Family fun!

Our family had a blast on this cruise! It was just the right amount of time and right activities (with a teen and a young one) - snorkeling, dolphin watching, and sunset all in one. The crew was kind and knowledgeable, and made it an excellent experience. Highly recommend!

Amazing morning snorkelling in Key West!

Really well organized, an excellent experience! Fantastic and personable crew. Instructions and guidance were clear. Equipment was clean and the snorkel site had many colourful fish swimming around coral reefs. Captain slowed and stopped the boat on the way back to allow us to see dolphins.

Wonderful!

Wonderful! My daughter and I had a great time! Just long enough (for me)-not too long, or too short. Snorkled for an hour. May have liked to snorkle a bit longer but overall good! Had fun! Sad, though, our reefs are dead and bleached. Must do something as a whole to help them.

Misrepresented Breakfast

Nice 3 hours at sea. Boat clean staff friendly. However , it was advertised as Offering “Gormet” breakfast which it certainly was NOT. Breakfast was dry croissants (no butter or jelly etc) and sliced cantaloupe. Breakfast should be described at Continental at best. Overall good experience.

Key West Sailing & Snorkeling: A Reef Adventure

Thomas_B, Jan 2026

A True Highlight of our Adventures in Key West

The reef snorkeling was a highlight of our family in our recent trip to Key West. The captain and mate were helpful in outfitting us with snorkel gear and fins. Both adults and a number of kids were among the 30 some people on the boat, which was nice and accomodated all well. We will definitely sign up to do this adventure again on our next trip to Key West.

Great excursion from Key West

My husband and I did this trip on Christmas Eve and had a wonderful time. We weren't sure we would really see dolphins, but we did! Our captain diligently drove the boat around until we found a group or two in the shallows. We then went to a different area to snorkel for a bit; there were some fish but not a ton of sea life (I didn't mind, it was fun just being in the water). They provided drinks after swimming and the vibe was very laid-back and friendly. We had a great time and would recommend this trip to others!

This was a nice, clean...

This was a nice, clean and organized snorkeling trip for our family of four. We on had one stop, but we saw a lot of fish and other sea life. The trip was not very expensive and the bar was free after snorkeling. The drinks were great and not light on the alcohol. The crew was professional and friendly.
