Stunning! We saw dolphins, an unforgettable sunset and we did snorkeling… The crew was incredible friendly!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you! We’re so glad you had an unforgettable experience with the dolphins, snorkeling, and sunset. We appreciate your kind words about the crew and hope to see you again soon!

The slow ride out to location was enjoyable. It was a very windy day, so not the best snorkeling conditions. Earlier trips that morning were canceled. Captain was able to find dolphins, which was nice. Quicker ride going back - rougher and everyone bouncing around & getting soaked (lol). Canned soda or mimosa for drinks. Overall average experience.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thanks for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the ride out and getting to see the dolphins—that’s always a special bonus. We appreciate your understanding about the windy conditions that day, as safety has to come first. We’ll also share your notes with the team as we continue to improve the experience. Thanks again for joining us!

Was left at the dock after checking in on time with a whole other family captain of the boat looked me in face and continued to leave us

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!

We saw a whole pod of dolphins and stopped fwith them or about 20mins which was amazing!
The snorkelling spot had poor visibility on the day so we went to another spot but didn't see anything unfortunately.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you so much for sharing your experience on the Key West Dolphin and Snorkel Experience!
We’re thrilled to hear you were able to see an entire pod of dolphins and spend about 20 minutes with them — that truly is such a special and unforgettable moment. There’s nothing quite like watching dolphins in their natural habitat, and we’re so glad nature delivered that magic for you!
We appreciate your understanding regarding the snorkeling visibility. Ocean conditions can vary from day to day, and while we always do our best to choose the clearest and most active spots, sometimes Mother Nature has other plans. We're glad the crew was able to adjust locations to try to find better conditions for you.
Thank you again for joining us — we hope to welcome you back to Key West for another adventure (with crystal-clear snorkeling next time!). 🌊🐬

Very disappointed with the experience. No dolphins were seen and the captain only told the group at the end. The coral reefs are very plain and totally different from the pictures shown at the company’s website. I only saw couple of very plain fish. The water is not clear at all. The trip to the snorkeling site was chilly. The website doesn’t provide the tip to bring extra clothes for the trip. I have to think that all they care is to sell as many as possible tickets and don’t care customers experience at all. Otherwise they can at least honestly warn potential guests not ideal snorkeling conditions and possibly not seeing any dolphins. Totally wasted a precious vacation day.
Katie_P, Dec 2025
Saw multiple dolphins & snorkeling was awesome! Water was chilly at first but you get used to it fast. Got to see schools of fish & dolphins swam just 30 feet away from where we were! The captains were very helpful & chill - highly recommend!

It was an awesome day, the crew was great. We got to see many dolphins and had a wonderful day on the water and also got to go snorkeling. It was so worth the price for amazing day on the ocean and got to see a wonderful sunset to end it off perfectly!

Amanda_Q, Jun 2025
This experience was so beautiful and so much fun. The captain Kevin and his crew mate Stephanie were so knowledgeable and talked to everyone and was so nice. The captain made sure that we were able to spot the dolphins and told us all about them as well. The snorkeling was such a blast as well. Got to see different type of fish and others seen sea turtles and a shark. The water was clear and beautiful. I have never snorkeled before but it was so much fun to look down through the goggles and see all the sea life. They tell you all you need to know about the snorkeling before arriving to the reef and what to do. We just had such a great time with them and if we are ever back in this area in the future we will be requesting their boat tour for sure. Thank you for such a fun and amazing adventure out on the open sea.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Hey Amanda, sounds like you enjoy every bit of the tour, watching the dolphins on their natural habitat it is a great experience, hope to see you soon.
Swetha_S, Jun 2025
The boat ride was beautiful, the timings were impeccable. The captain and the crew really took care and made us understand all the do’s and dont’s
I love snorkeling so this experience was good.
Only downside is that I wish the water was clear than murky. Other than that , great experience with dolphins. We spotted so many of them and lot of fun facts was shared by the crew
Response from Host, Jun 2025

I had a wonderful time! Kevin and Michael were fantastic! It ended up being too cold to go in the water (though they did offer wet suits), I still very much enjoyed the time on the water. We saw lots of dolphins and learned a lot about the area!
