Shark and Wildlife Viewing Adventure in Key West
Description
This is the only shark tour in the USA and to our knowledge the only tour where guests do not get in the water to view the sharks. Delight in close-up views of sharks and a variety of other marine life. In this eco-friendly catamaran, travel through shallow waters to a location a few miles from shore, observing dolphins, stingrays, barracudas and native birds along the way. Bait is used to attract lemon, nurse and other types of sharks to the side of the boat. Learn all about Key West wildlife and enjoy complimentary soda, juice and chips throughout this family-friendly tour.

Itinerary
After check-in, the Tiger Cat will cruise through Key West harbor on the way to the Key West National Wildlife Refuge. Here guests will see numerous sharks and a variety of wildlife including dolphin.
Travel through shallow water close to mangrove islands as you make your way about 4 miles (6.4 km) away from shore to the shark viewing site. Along the way, keep your eyes open for dolphin, sea turtles, stingrays, barracudas, tarpon and an array of native birds. Listen to your experienced pilot discuss the delicate ecosystem of this area and its abundance of wildlife. Enjoy complimentary water, soda, juice — as well as the use of polarized sunglasses — during your trip. When you arrive at the shark destination, get ready for an unforgettable experience! Your pilot will use bait to draw a host of sharks that swim right up to the boat so you and your family can observe them in safety and comfort. See numerous lemon and nurse sharks, and watch out for bull, black tip and hammerhead sharks during nearly one hour of shark viewing. Capture dramatic photos you can't wait to share with family and friends.

Amazing experience. I went with my husband and 5-year old and we all had the best time. We got to see sharks and learn a lot about them. We also saw dolphins and that was such an amazing experience. The crew was so fun, knowledgeable and friendly. 100% recommend this tour.

This was awesome, went out to see sharks and got a dolphin tour as well. Definitely a must do while in the Key West. The guides give you great information about sharks.
Kids enjoyed watching the sharks eat and dolphins play. Crew was great. My second time on this tour.
Fantastic time the captain and mate were funny and informative. Seeing the sharks was the highlight of my wife's birthday
Our family of 4 had a great time on the shark and wildlife eco tour. The price was reasonable, the boat wasn’t overcrowded, and the crew was knowledgeable and friendly. We saw 4 types of sharks and dolphins. 2 hours was the perfect amount of time to get out on the water and see the beautiful landscape and wildlife. We would definitely do this tour again!
Sharks are my son's absolute favourite and so when I came across this it was a no-brainer. Tanner & Matt were great guides, so knowledgeable about the sharks, and very funny to boot. Guaranteed shark sighting, and my son's day was made when he had the opportunity to feed a shark - ny daughter loved it, too. Getting to see a pod of dolphins so close to the boat was an added bonus. Highly recommend booking this - worth every penny!
It is great to hear that your family had a fantastic experience with us! We love to indulge the kids to feed our sharks so it's nice knowing your son enjoyed it so much. Thank you for the feedback and we hope to see you again in the future.
The staff is very friendly and helpful, extremely knowledgeable. It was a great experience and I would definitely recommend it!
It was our pleasure to provide you a memorable shark experience!
Outstanding / thoroughly enjoyed the ride. Good humor - great shark / ocean knowledge and the feeding was neat to watch in person.
We love hosting our passengers for a great time on the water, thank you for your feedback!
