Top Key West On the Water

2 hour peaceful ferry boat ride to Fort Jefferson. We then do the 30 minutes fort tour and spent another 30 minutes walking along the top of the fort. We then got snorkeling gear and snorkeled at the piers on the north post. We then swam around the outside of the fort and hit the piers in the south beach. There were a ton of fish at both sets of piers. I highly recommend snorkeling and swimming out to the old piers on both beaches. Do the short tour as it is very informative. The fort is incredible and unbelievable to see and the snorkeling is great and I recommend this as A MUST DO in Key Wedt

We had a wonderful time on this excursion! We learned so many fun facts about the local mangroves, sea grass, and the wildlife that inhabit them. The mangroves are beautiful and certainly a unique ecosystem to explore. Nothing else like this in the US! Our guide, Cece, was knowledgeable and experienced, and made our time on the water fun. The staff on site were all very friendly and helpful. One thing to make sure of: If you’re booking through any travel service, not directly through the company’s website, make sure you receive a confirmation email with the excursion details directly from the company itself. For whatever reason, that did not get sent to us ahead of time. This led us to be technically half an hour late to our excursion, because there were no details stating an earlier arrival time except in that email alone. I received a call as we were on our way asking where we were. The business personnel acted confused and frustrated as to why we were arriving late, but realized in the end that the email with the details had not reached me (inadvertently). Once they realized that, the tone changed and they commented that this happens fairly often. Something to do with the booking programs not talking to each other. To the business owner: I would recommend updating your listings on travel excursion booking sites to state the earlier arrival time by a half hour. There’s no harm in doing so, and it would surely save a lot of people the trouble if this issue persists.

This is my third time on this tour as this is our go to when we have friends and family down. The captain and first mate are always friendly, engaging and interesting. Captain Brett and Dawson did not disappoint. We had a great time, saw so many dolphins and enjoyed the night on the water! I love this boat tour because people are not crammed on the boat and we have room to move around, have fun and enjoy the view. The apps and wine are always a nice touch. The sunset was beautiful as Key West usually delivers. Always a good time for our first time friends that come down for a visit. Highly recommend.
