Unfortunately due to weather we were unable to go on our trip. The owners were absolutely fantastic trying to reschedule working with our schedule - in fact we were rescheduled 3 times and the wind blocked us each time. The commitment to customer service was outstanding. Thank You for trying!

Although we only saw four...

Jonathan_G, Apr 2026

Although we only saw four dolphins, we snorkeled with hundreds of fish in crystal clear water. Captain Melanie was great! The trip would suit all ages and experience.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Jonathan, Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re so glad you enjoyed the snorkeling—those crystal clear days are exactly why we love being out there. Seeing four dolphins just means those four were the stars of the show! 🐬 Melanie is fantastic at making sure everyone feels comfortable regardless of age, so I’ll be sure to pass your compliments along to her. Hopefully, we'll see you back on the boat the next time you're in the Keys!

Amazing customer service

Hi Rebecca, thank you so much for those kind words! It truly means the world to us. We were so bummed that the wind didn't cooperate—we were rooting for you every time we tried to reschedule! We are so touched by your understanding and patience throughout the process. Please know that whenever you find yourself back in Key West, we’d love to have you back on the books. We’ll be crossing our fingers for those calm, glassy waters so we can finally give you that spectacular day on the water you deserve! Safe travels and see you next time, Alexandra & Eric

Fun for all!

Diana_G, Mar 2026

Our guide was very informative especially with the boys. Water is beautiful and saw dolphins 2 different times

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Hi Diana, Thank you for coming out with us! It was so fun having you and the boys on board. We love when kids are curious and ask lots of questions — it makes the day even better for the captain too. And getting dolphin sightings twice… that’s always a great bonus! Hope we get to take you all out again next time you’re in Key West 🐬🌊

Fantastic experience dolphin watching

AllysonC, Feb 2026

Fantastic experience! A knowledgeable and friendly captain, comfy boat and lovely to see a number of dolphins! The views out at sea are stunning. We would recommend

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Hi Ally, Thank you so much for your feedback! This is what we love to hear! 🙌🐬 That’s exactly the experience we aim to deliver every single trip. Thank you for the recommendation — it truly means a lot to us. Hope to see you back on the water soon! 🌊

Sandbar Trip in Key West is a MUST!

Kelly_B, May 2024

We loved our Sandbar Trip in the beautiful waters of Key West. Dolphin Safari was the perfect choice for us! Our guide, Eddie, was prompt in picking us up at the start location. We had a gorgeous ride out to the sandbar in spectacularly blue and green water! We even got in a little dolphin watching while heading to our sandbar stop! While visiting the sandbar we were able to play our music through the blue tooth, snorkel, and overall enjoy the experience. Eddie knew about the few creatures we found including a large conch, and decorator urchin! You can not beat the beauty of the Key West waters! We would definitely recommend this tour to others!

Sandbar trip at keywest

Riju_K, Apr 2024

We had awesome experience with Dolphin Shafari. We spent around almost 2 hours at sandbar place. Our pilot didn't show any rush, he was so calm and relax. When we said we are done lets go, then we left. What I say about that place, place was awesome never seen like this, we were alone at sandbar we thoroughly enjoyed the beauty of that place.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Ken_K, Sep 2023

Nikki was a fabulous guide and captain! The weather forecast wasn't great and she made sure to find a way around the storm clouds and ensured we had a great time. Highly recommend this if you're visiting The Keys.
