Heather_B, June 2026

Highly recommended for one or for the whole family

Informative, friendly hostesses who love to share their love for the reef, ecosystem and overall area. This was a better experience than my first time snorkeling in Hawaii. Everything was proved, including organic snacks and cold water along with brief education of equipment and environment.

2.5 Hour Shell Key Island Adventure Including Dolphins And Shells

heather_g, May 2026

All day!

What a great, kind, and family owned operation! Capt John and his first mate Katie were wonderful. They were fun and knowledgeable about the area and local wildlife. We enjoyed our morning shelling/snorkeling so much that we asked if they had room for us to go out with them again on the later snorkeling cruise. We spent the whole day with them on the Calypso Cat and had so much fun and found lots of shells. 10/10 would recommend.

We had an absolutely outstanding time on the tiki boat at Crab Island! From start to finish, the experience was unforgettable. The boat itself was clean, comfortable, and had such a fun vibe—perfect for soaking up the sun and enjoying the water. Captains Al and Randy made sure everyone felt safe while still having an amazing time. A game-changer was having a bathroom on board—such a huge convenience that made the day even more enjoyable and stress-free. This tiki boat experience is 100% worth it. We’ll definitely be back!

Shouldn’t miss this

All positives for our experience! Captain Pat was very knowledgeable of our surroundings giving insight on much we were seeing. His skills driving this big boy were excellent. He expressed that our dolphin viewing was not up to par but seeing a dolphin jumping the wake is a memory we’ll always have. We will be taking family and friends who visit on this experience. A+++++

The Captain knew exactly where to go to see the dolphins. I can’t even guess at how many we saw. The ride was math and the atmosphere was great. Best of all the crew was amazing. Grace was the first mate and bartender. She walked around and spoke with everyone. Simply put - she was amazing!

Awesomeness

We had a great time! AC ( tour guide) and Captan Chris. They are fun, talkative, knowledgeable and super friendly. Captain Chris knows where to take the boat and land us in a massive group of fish. AJ was so helpful and lead the fishing maneuvers. He was always next to you helping you when we were pulling your fish into the boat He was kind and generous and when our family started to feel sick he had tricks up his sleeve to decrease the sea sickness. Both gentle were very kind hearted and lead a very good fishing experience. We will definitely ask for these two again. We caught a ton of fish and ended up with maui Maui, Black fin tuna and barracuda. Definitely ise this company and ask for AC and Captain Chris. Happy Fishing!!!

✅✅✅Everything you MUST know✅✅✅

1. Be sure to reserve your spot through the Viator app. 2. Use a cashback app like Rakuten—percentages vary based on the app and booking time. 3. Pay with a travel rewards credit card to maximize benefits. 4. Expect a waiver to be sent via message the morning of your activity—sign it promptly. 5. Paid parking is available in front of the hotel. Reserve at least 3 hours. Use the “PayByPhone” app or the nearby parking meter. 6. All participants—men and women—must wear waterproof shorts and a T-shirt. The Seabob creates friction against your body, so proper clothing is essential. 7. If you wear water shoes, remove them before the ride to avoid losing them. 8. Avoid applying sunscreen to your face—it can irritate your eyes when wearing diving goggles. 9. They provide diving goggles; test them onshore to ensure they don’t leak. 10. Check that the rope connecting you to the Seabob is long enough. Your arms should be fully extended for proper control. 11. Photos taken during the experience cost $40 and are payable via Venmo only. Credit card payments incur additional fees. 12. To avoid those fees, consider tipping your guide directly instead of paying via card—the machine will prompt you for a tip. Overall, it’s a fantastic experience. The Seabob is new and exciting, and the guide was incredibly kind, patient, and informative. You’ll have a great time!
