Could have been so much better

Kym_W, Jul 2025
A bus takes you from your hotel to Key West, however the bus is filled to the max (no empty seats) so if you are an odd # of people, you are certainly sitting with someone. It's a 4 hour drive each way. Part of our bus had seats facing backward which I had to sit in and I get car sick, so I had to sit sideways for 4 hours so I wouldn't get sick. I told the tour guide, but she didn't do anything. It was a very hot day and the AC did not work well at all on the lower tier of the bus and everyone was very hot. The seats are first come first serve, which is a pain. When you get to Key West, the bus drops you off and then the tour guide takes you to your area if you sign up for an excursion. If you do the marina trips- it is quite a longer walk there so wear comfortable shoes. The snorkeling boat I had- stated that one of their boats was broken so double the amount of people were on 1 boat. They ran out of room to sit and it was so crowded to snorkel people were on top of each other and a lot of fish swam away because of all the splashing/swimming. There were also some rude snorkelers that did not listen to the charter employee's instructions and affected seeing the fish as well since they were chasing them. Been on a few of Viator's excursions and all were 5 stars except this one. If you don't like long bus rides look into a different way to get to Key West from Miami and then book the excursions.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Good afternoon Kym_W, thank you so much for your feedback. Yes the seating on the buses are first come first serve. I will check on the Catamaran boats to make sure they are all running and will ask for a report if there are any ones that are out on Maintenance so we can know ahead of time. Thank you so much for that information. Please have a wonderful day.

Team was nice. Time...

Amit_G, Apr 2025
Team was nice. Time planning was good. Didn’t get to snorkel due to the weather so I advise to buy without snorkel and if weather is nice buy it on the bus.

Response from Host, May 2025

Good evening Amit_G, Thank you for your feedback. I am so sorry that you could not do the excursion due to the weather. Please contact our office if you did not get a chance to replace it with something else. Thank you again and have a great evening.

Great friendly people

Michael_V, Jun 2024
Grat time Lilly wasj amazing, and was on top of everyone's needs. Will definitely book again and stay a little longer

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE

Katie_M, May 2024
Awful experience, I did not end up going as I was told I was going to be picked up at YVE hotel in Miami and she kept calling to switch the location. Very disappointing and unprofessional!

Awesome adventure

Cathy_H, Mar 2024
I thought just about every part was pretty amazing. Breathtaking views and friendly staff. Wonderful way to explore Key West. 😎

Snorkelling in the Atlantic

Sahana_B, Jan 2024
Swimming with the fishes felt like I am in an aquarium. The guide Maddy was just awesome! She helped me a lot.

Raté !

Maud_Z, Oct 2023
We deeply regret the cancellation that was announced to us on the bus after departure, although we would have liked to have been able to cancel our trip as well, as it had become uninteresting...and the weather was known at the outset. In short, we were dissatisfied with the way the service was handled. What's more, the guide offered to buy us a trolley ticket for a tour of the island, whereas in reality he sold us a ticket for a simple tour of the city center.... a day wasted in every way!

Prompt upon pick up, tour...

Nicole_C, Oct 2023
Prompt upon pick up, tour guide Tamra passionate and accommodating. However bus was in poor condition water dripping inside the bus, water stains on controls/ button panel above head, cockroach infested

Amazing snorkeling experience in Key West

deastarr_l, Oct 2023
The sail team was excellent! They was friendly, funny, helpful and wonderful energy. The snorkeling in Key West was incredible. The water was beautiful, I felt at one with the sea , I saw different types of pretty fishes, and water was clear. I definitely will be doing the Key west snorkeling again.

Don't Miss Parasailing!

Desiree_H, Sep 2023
The transportation was on-time and provided a lot of helpful information. The tour guide was very friendly and the driver was able to get us to Key West early! We were able to add parasailing to our day with the help of our tour guide. We had a wonderful experience with FURY during our snorkeling and parasailing excursions. Parasailing in Key West is a one-in-a-lifetime experience and I highly recommend it to anyone going on this trip!

Snorkel amazing lady on bus rude

Tina_C, Sep 2023
The snorkel excursion was amazing however the lady on the bus was very rude passengers. The post is confusing as it reads 3 hour snorkel adventure and 6 hours to wander the keys. We were there a total of 5.5 hours. The lady on the bus told a passenger she had a nice voice but it was too loud and another passenger to take her kid to the back she did t want it near her. However the snorkel with fury was 10 plus stars

Everything was amazing!

Vernicieya_E, Sep 2023
Our trip was amazing! Everything about it was amazing! I booked this trip for my boyfriend birthday and when I say he had a blastttttt I LOVED IT! From the Bus operators to the fury employees was so nice and caring! They made sure we had a good time I appreciate everyone of you for helping me make this a very special birthday for my boyfriend THANK YOU ! We will for sure be back soon 🤍

Go Snorkeling

Tiffani_f, Sep 2023
We had a great time with our snorkeling crew. The bus ride down was long and uncomfortable due to the air conditioning not working on over 1/2 the bus. They were trying to get it fixed but the trip home was just as uncomfortable. It was clearly older. The bathroom had not tissue so you could not use it. That was not great either. The snorkeling trip was an amazing add on!!! The crew was great. Super informative and lots of fun. Highly recommend this.

Horrid

heidi_k, Aug 2023
I signed a waiver for my 15 year old kids to snorkel and they weren’t able to snorkel. I want a refund!!!!

Everything went very...

Tilde_K, Aug 2023
Everything went very smooth. Great guide. The only thing that we would have wished was different, is that we thought the breakfast-stop on the way out to Key West was unnecessary.

Saw a nurse shark. And...

Andrew_R, Jul 2023
Saw a nurse shark. And many colorful fish. Boat ride wash choppy. Many got sea sick, but didn’t ruin the fun.

‘Time just for me’

Rocky_S, Jul 2023
Loved the ocean loves to snorkel loved visiting our favorite B&B on our Key West time. OK this is why I hate filling out these brochures and reviews.

Tip Problems

Esref_G, Jul 2023
I got snorkelling tour. The only think I do not understand is forcing people for tipping. I tipped small amount (because I got nothing special, Even when I try to talk to captian, she ran away…) then a family saw the money I gave. And that rubbish family start talking about my tipping. In USA, in service sector, dont they have salary? It is not good tradiation at all. (I mean for all service sector including food) If I think I have a good service, I decide the amount.

Great experience!! From...

Itzia_H, Jun 2023
Great experience!! From the bus all the way to key west and back. Lilo and the 2 chofer were great. As well snorkeling tour people have us a great experience.

4qqrxzfz7z, Jun 2023
it was really good, the snorkeling part was fun too but i wished i saw more fishes but other than that it was fun! would recommend

Our first snorkeling experience

Carolyn_S, Apr 2023
It was wonderful was scared at first cause I don’t know how to swim but once I was in the water I was swimming like a fish it was wonderful down there will definitely do it again

Key West is beautiful .

ken_f, Mar 2023
Loved Key West and the tour guide was great. Inclement weather canceled our snorkeling trip so only 3 stars.

Choppy Waters prevented my snorkel

Tanya_S, Jan 2023
Prior to booking this trip, I called and asked the company a few questions about snorkeling as it was my 1st time. On our way there, I received an alert that the water was choppy. When we checked in, I was adviced we will be out about 10/20 and there was no guarantee anyone would be able to help me. When it was time to board, the captain advised that due to choppy weather it's not safe for 1st timers or people that are not good swimmers and said they will refund us our money. Unfortunately I was disappointed because I asked specific questions to Greyline and the representative wasn't upfront. And I really was looking forward to snorkeling.

Terrible, poor planning, unprofessional.

Karen_B, Nov 2022
This was a poorly set up tour. The pick up options were only available by predetermined drop down options only. Where we were staying was not available in the drop down options, so we selected no pick up, deciding instead to meet at the departure point. The changed the pick up spot and did not inform us. It was somehow decided that we did not need transportation, even though we paid for a tour that included it???

Best birthday ever

Tyrone_H, Sep 2022
Its a double edged sword on the bus ride yet the activities made it all worth it..i had a blast i so enjoyed myself me n my bestfriend had a blast on my birthday cien dolphins and all was a beautiful experience most definitely will b back next year.. oh did i mention the unlimited drinks...such a way to celebrate my birthday 💯💯💯😎😎

It was such an amazing...

Jessica_E, Sep 2022
It was such an amazing tour. I really enjoyed my time; I even lost my phone and they waited for me to go back and look for it on the bus. Not only that, if you contact the tour company directly, they will give you one free tour if it's your birthday. Safe travels to you all.

Be ready for a full day event

Miriam_T, Aug 2022
Bus lost AC and we still had 1 more hour to drive. On the way bs n they got a new bus. Boat ride was fun and snorkeling requires a skillful swimmer

Do Not Take This Trip

Miguel_C, Jul 2022
Do Not Take This Trip long bus trip to Keys also knowing weather was bad they still picked up customers and when we get Keys All Activites Where Cancelled by Operator I am sure they knew ahead off time and should have canceled trip to avoid the longest and worst bus ride ever Ruined my Last Day for Vacation

Good Key West trip

Sindhu_R, Jul 2022
It was an overall good experience. Key West is a great place to visit. However since I did snorkeling it took up most of my day, so I had to go back to explore Key West another day. The transportation & boat was clean and comfortable. However, the toilet in the boat was in a bad condition. The snorkeling experience was good.
