Great way to spend your afternoon - Fun afternoon experience with plenty of dolphin sitings! Our captain, Madison, was great and her knowledge of dolphins along with her boating expertise added to this excursion. If you are looking for a fun, safe and personal outing with limited people on board you will want to consider this one!

Would highly recommend! - Because of our change in travel schedule, we were unable to make the experience work. However, this company was extremely accommodating and trying to get us out on the tour with the best weather at the best time. They were extremely nice on the phone and much more accommodating than other companies we have worked with in Key West. I am hoping the next time we are visiting Key West we will be able to schedule again and take the tour. Would highly recommend!

Highlight of our vacation! - We went today and we had the best time! Tim was great at answering our questions and teaching us about key west. We found dolphins quickly and kept finding them throughout our trip. We snorkeled too. So much fun and well worth the money.

The best of our trip to Florida - The best tour of our holidays in Florida ! Melanie took us in a small and comfy boat to watch the Dolphins and snorkeling in a great spot. Boat trip was beautiful and both adults and kids (adolescents) enjoyed it a lot. Warmly recommended!

An informative adventure - My family and I just went on the dolphin & snorkeling tour on October 13th with Captain Eddie. We loved the small boat size and personalized tour. Captain Eddie knows so much about Key West after living here for 19 years. We got to see 10 or more dolphins playing and snorkel. Complete success!

it was emazing - That was awesome — swimming with dolphins, snorkeling, and just cruising with the breeze. Huge thanks to the captain! We were out for about 3–4 hours, and it was totally worth it! Highly recommended!

To remember - I hardly give the maximum rating in reviews, but in this case it is really deserved: every euro spent is worth the experience. The adventure takes place on a motor boat of perfect size for up to 4 people. There were only 2 of us, and this made it all the more special and intimate. The tour is very long and allows you to skirt all of Key West to the area where the dolphins play freely: seeing them a few meters, never over 4, was a unique emotion. Then we move to the snorkeling area, where I was lucky enough to admire many varieties of fish in clear and quiet waters. Special praise to the commander: kind, helpful, experienced and attentive to every detail. The boat was carefully prepared and the Welcoming on board was impeccable. To conclude, an unscheduled return under a sudden thunderstorm turned the return into a small “thriller” on the sea: an extra touch of adrenaline that, thanks to the safety and competence of the commander, will remain an unforgettable memory.

It was a great tour and... - It was a great tour and loved the dolphin encounter! Because of the of year the water was extremely cold with low visibility and we didn’t get to see any fish during snorkeling but I don’t know how much of that was due to the tour or just because we went in February. The water wasn’t totally unbearable. My husband swam for like 20mins, I could only do 5. But the water was very cloudy. I definitely would have preferred to stand on a sand bar due to this. Might have given me a little more time in the water to explore and possible could have seen some fish. Other than that I had a great time! It would have been a 5 had the snorkeling been better 🥶

Overpromised. Falsely advertised. - Giving the second star strictly for our captain Cam. Cam was great. The tour was not good. Supposed to be snorkeling and dolphins. The snorkeling was advertised falsely. It was awful. Nothing to see. If you want to snorkel and look at grass, a few pieces of coral and pinfish then this is for you. Seriously disappointing. Unfortunately no dolphins but that happens. Advertisement says 95% success rate for dolphins, this is not my understanding of the truth based upon what I was told. To top it off we ended the tour an hour early, which doesn't make sense because we had not found any dolphins - yet.
