Awesome experience! We were completely new to snorkeling and Mike made us feel comfortable and was so knowledgeable. I was a little scared but he put me at ease about everything. I would highly recommend booking a snorkel with Mike if you are looking for something more private and laid back!

Mike was amazing. We had a great time and he was awesome with our grandkids ages 10 and 12. Highly recommended and we will do it again.

Mike was so awesome to tour with. Very friendly and easy to communicate with. I went with my mom for our first time and we were both a little nervous; but with mikes knowledge of the reef and the experience he has, we never once felt scared while out in the water. You can tell he really focuses on the safety of his customers. The views were amazing, we got to see many different types of tropical fish, SHARKS, a lobster, different coral, an urchin and even a sting Ray. Afterwards, Mike emailed some professional pictures from our excursion which was great to share with friends and family. The entire experience was so relaxing, even therapeutic and one of the coolest things I’ve ever experienced. Thanks again Mike for sharing with us!
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thank you, Emily! I love to hear my guests say the experience was one of the coolest things they've ever done!

We joined Mike from Snorkel with Mike for an incredible snorkeling adventure in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea! From getting set up to the short walk to the water and the full hour of snorkeling, the whole experience lasted about two hours—and it was absolutely worth it.
Mike was so informative, patient, and incredibly helpful with me and my three kids. We had such a blast! Even my 19-year-old son, who’s not easily impressed, hasn’t stopped talking about the fish we saw—especially the nurse shark (which was kind of big, by the way!) and the tarpon.
If you’re looking for a snorkel tour guide in the Pompano area, look no further—Mike is your guy. We’re one happy family of five! Huge thanks to Mike for an unforgettable day. And the photos he took for us? Total icing on the cake!

I had never snorkeled before but Mike made me feel safe and comfortable. He is an expert on technique and where all the fish hang out. He is kind, patient, and a phenomenal instructor. I had the best time and would immediately book again next time I’m in the area. I cannot recommend him more highly. Also, the photos from the photo package are 100% worth it. Thank you for an awesome experience!

Snorkeling with Mike was very fun! He is a great instructor with tons of knowledge about ocean life and diving. He makes it a mission to make sure you enjoy yourself and see lots of ocean life! Overall great experience. 10 out of 10 would highly recommend!

I went on an unforgettable snorkel adventure with Mike (who is very knowledgable and was a very good instructor.
It was absolutely incredible. The underwater world came alive as I swam along, sailfish, vibrant, parrot, fish, graceful, tarpon, even pet a docile nurse shark, we saw a large sea urchin inside the reef.
It was fascinating to watch.
Every moment felt like a scene out of a nature documentary on the discovery channel Mike was an amazing guide and the entire experience was nothing short of magical.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Thank you for the stellar review! I love to hear the experience described as unforgettable and magical!
Lauran_D, Jun 2025
Great time! Mike did well with instructing us without overwhelming and we spent a good amount of time actually snorkeling. Mike will point out the different fish and for a small fee, take pics underwater if the fish and your group! Small group experience which was amazing. Highly recommend!

Thank you, Lauran! I'm glad you had an amazing experience!

Response from Host, May 2025

Matt_F, May 2025
Mike is a very knowledgeable, down to earth guide, super nice dude. The area on the beach we swim to the reefs from was a brief and enjoyable walk from the meeting spot, lots of restaurants and shops on the way so if you’re hungry after the dive plenty of choices to choose from. The dive was spectacular, tons of different fish species, a lobster, spiny urchin and even swam along side a nurse shark. 10/10 would recommend.
Response from Host, May 2025
Thank you for the great review, Matt! I'm so glad to hear you had a wonderful experience!

Very passionate !
Knowledgeable! Calls you in advance , to keep you updated on the weather!
I was lucky the weather was great , some rain. But not horrible.
The visibility was amazing!
It took me 2 minutes to figure out the breathing through the mouth with the snorkel. But , once you get use to it. Snorkeling was a breeeze.

Alexis_M, Jul 2024
I went with my 13 year old daughter and we both had a great experience. My daughter was blown away by the beauty of the ocean life that we got to encounter. The swim was a little challenging for me, to be honest. Mike did a great job of checking in on me and allowing me the time I needed, while at the same time encouraging and directing the rest of the group and keeping them engaged. He's an excellent guide and we would definitely hire him again. Snorkel with Mike! You will be in good hands.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Thank you, Alexis! I'm glad you both had a great experience and Bella was blown away by the beauty!
Jessica_H, Jul 2024
We had an amazing snorkeling experience with Mike. He was an excellent guide, perfectly explained how to use the equipment and was extremely knowledgeable about the sea life we saw. Offering the option to have pictures was great as he was able to capture our experience of snorkeling and the sea life we saw. This by far is the best option for a guided snorkeling tour.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Thank you, Jessica! I'm so glad you had an amazing experience!
Mehnaz_R, Jul 2024
We had an amazing time out on the reef with Mike, where we got to see some really cool animals like a nurse shark, spotted eagle ray, and plenty of gorgeous fish! He did a great job of guiding us to the best spots, pointing out wildlife, and taking pics we will cherish for a long time! It’s clear that Mike really knows his stuff. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a fun snorkeling adventure :)
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Thank you for the fantastic review, Mehnaz! I'm so happy that you had an amazing time and love to hear that you will cherish the photos! Hope to see you again sometime soon!
Elaine_T, Jul 2024
I have been snorkeling many a time and this was the best experience all due to Mike the guide. He was so knowledgeable and accommodating. Took pictures of us and the fish under water. Checked in with us before and after our Snorkeling. BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!! So professional!
Plus the snorkeling is in a small town by Fort Lauderdale a perfect spot to eat and hang out after your snorkeling adventure. Or stay at the beach.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Thank you for the excellent review, Elaine! I'm so glad to hear it was your best snorkeling experience and that you got to enjoy the beautiful town of Lauderdale by the Sea!
Alexandra_J, Jul 2024
Best guided snorkel I’ve been on! Mike is a great guide with lots of experience and certifications to back it up. He even took pictures of us in the water! We saw a ton of fish- Angel fish, blue fish, yellow fish, a huge variety of schools of fish, and coolest of all- two nurse sharks! My family has a good amount of experience snorkeling- guided and without guides. I like guided snorkels because a guide makes you feel safer, my 11 year old is nervous around schools of fish, with Mike around, I always knew my child was safe. I also really appreciated that our group was small so it really felt personal.
My advice? Skip the cheap hour of guided, crowded snorkeling and spend the extra money on this. You can really tell Mike is so passionate about the reef.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Thank you for the great review, Alex! I'm glad you had a good time, felt safe, and appreciate the value of a smaller, more personal group experience!

My friends and I had the best time. Our guide Mike was awesome ! Great for first timers too, he walks you through how to use the gear and makes sure everyone is comfortable before going out. He also offers some pictures out in the water
