An unforgettable day on the water - Huge thanks to Captain Madison for a fantastic dolphin safari! We’d been waiting all week for the weather to break, and it was worth the wait. We saw multiple groups of dolphins, and Madison’s knowledge and energy made the trip special. The boat was great, the views were stunning, and the dolphins were everywhere! Thanks for a perfect evening!

AMAZING - Capt. Nikki was the best! We had a blast. We will definitely be back! She found a terrific place on a sandbar. We laughed, swam, and found shells and starfish. The weather was perfect. She made sure we had a great time on our trip. Ask for Capt. Nikki when booking this trip.

Sandbar Boat Trip in Key West - A Key West MUST! - We had the best time on the Dolphin Safari Sandbar Trip! The waters of Key West are absolutely gorgeous. Pictures never do the actual experience justice! We did a 3 hour sandbar tour with our guide, Eddie, and one other couple. Eddie was fantastic! He shared bits of information as we navigated the waters of the Gulf. We were able to see some dolphins on our way to the sandbar which was a nice bonus! While at the sandbar we enjoyed music, snorkeling, and just floating in the water. Dolphin Safari was easy to book, easy to find, and helped us have a great day on the water! We would definitely book with them on our next Keys adventure!

Sandbar Trip in Key West is a MUST! - 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!

Peaceful paradise! - This company is amazing! We booked two separate tours with this company, and both were absolutely incredible. This review is specifically for the sandbar tour. Our Captain was Tim and he was so easy going, friendly and so accommodating. Our trip out and back was flawless and the entire time he would point out some of the beautiful wildlife he would spot along the way. We saw sting rays, a Lagerhead turtle, plenty of fish and birds, and tiny crabs. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a relaxing day of enjoying sun, water and nature. The sandbar was paradise! So peaceful and private. I also did their Dolphin/Snorkel tour...also great fun! Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

Sandbar trip at keywest - 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.
