Half Day Snorkel Trip on Reefs in the Florida Keys
Description
Come join us snorkeling some of the most beautiful reefs within the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary and Pennekamp State Park. We have many possible reefs to explore: Molasses, Elbow, French Reef and the famous Christ of the Abyss on Dry Rocks. These protected areas offer an opportunity to see turtles, spotted eagle rays, moray eels and a variety of different fish. These special reefs are part of the 3rd largest living reef system in the world and the ONLY living coral reef in the US. We stop at two different locations on the reef. Each stop is determined by the captain based on the day's conditions. We cannot guarantee any specific site. We also offer scuba diving on our trips. In an effort to reduce the amount of single-use plastic that ends up in our oceans, we recommend bringing a reusable water bottle. We have water coolers in our shop and on our boats for your convenience!

Great crew. I think our captain was Katie? I had issues with my own gear and she was extremely helpful and patient. The trip was fun and we saw some nice coral and a variety of fish. Good experience
Thank you for your kind review! We're so glad you had a great experience. We'll be sure to pass your kind words along to Captain Catie. Thanks for joining us, and we hope to see you again for another snorkeling adventure! 🌊🐠
Nice trip, beautiful fish seen and also the famous statue of Jesus. Well organized. Also nice that you could rinse afterwards.
Bedankt voor de geweldige recensie! We zijn erg blij dat u heeft genoten van uw snorkeltocht en het prachtige onderwaterleven en het beroemde beeld 'Christ of the Abyss' heeft kunnen zien. Fijn om te horen dat alles goed georganiseerd was en dat u de mogelijkheid om zich na afloop met zoet water af te spoelen waardeerde. We hopen u snel weer te mogen verwelkomen voor een nieuw avontuur!
Amazing!! We ended up going to the mangroves due to large waves and strong winds at the reef, but it was still an incredible experience. The guides are funny, and the water is beautiful. Definitely worth it!!
Thank you for the awesome review! We're so glad you had an amazing time, even with the change in plans. Safety always comes first, and we're happy the mangroves still provided an incredible snorkeling experience. We'll be sure to pass your kind words along to the crew. Thanks for joining us, and we hope to see you back on the water again soon!
This is a MUST do. Captain Katie and Liber were amazing! Super knowledgeable, helpful, funny; just a winning duo. I swam out to see Christ of the Abyss, breathtaking. The many species of fish, corals, and other sea critters were awesome. It is 100% worth the cost (which to me was super reasonable for what we got), you snorkel at two locations. Truly special. PS. For my friends out there who get nautical nausea like I do. Don't worry! Captain Katie knows some tricks to help ease it! From her ginger chews, to the ice water down the spine (it really worked!), to singing w me (singing curbs the gag reflex). Color me impressed! The captain knew every word to F.U.N. and Ripped Pants from Spongebob! That alone is worth five stars in my book! Thank you Captain Katie, and thank you Liber; good call tossing me that floaty noodle. Turns out I'm not much of a mermaid lol.
Wow—thank you for such an incredible review! We're thrilled to hear that Captain Caiti and Liber made your trip so memorable. From snorkeling at the Christ of the Abyss to exploring the reefs and all the amazing marine life, it sounds like you experienced some of the very best our waters have to offer. We're especially glad that Captain Caiti anti-seasickness tricks helped you enjoy the day. Thank you for trusting us with your adventure and for sharing such kind words about our crew. We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable day on the water soon!

We took the 8:30 tour after reading that conditions are best earlier in the day. Captain Brad and Joe worked hard to ensure we had a good time. They are obviously knowledgeable about the area and keen to make sure both the reef and their guests were kept safe. We stopped at two points and were out for about an hour at each one. The sea life was plentiful and varied, particularly at the first stop. We were lucky enough to see an eagle ray glide underneath us. A great way to spend a morning and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend
Thank you for the wonderful review! We're thrilled you had a great morning on the water with Captain Brad and Joe. Seeing an eagle ray is always a special treat! We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you aboard again soon.
Fantastic experience. The captain and crew were hilarious. They also obviously care deeply about the people and environment of the Keys. Snorkeling was great!
Thank you for the great review! We're so glad you had a fantastic experience with our crew. We love sharing the beauty of the Keys while helping protect it, and we're thrilled you enjoyed the snorkeling and the laughs along the way. Hope to see you again soon!
The captain and co captain were so fun and friendly! Did not see as many fish as other snorkeling trips that are more south of key largo. But staff was great and the boat ride was fun !
Thank you for joining us! We're so glad you enjoyed the fun boat ride and had a great time with our captain and crew. Marine life sightings can vary from day to day, but we're happy to hear you still had an enjoyable experience on the water. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!
