Osservazione dei delfini e snorkeling Key West
Descrizione
Questa non è una barca turistica affollata – è una vera avventura per piccoli gruppi con un massimo di 6 ospiti. Non stai guardando i delfini da lontano; sei abbastanza vicino da sentire quel momento elettrico quando nuotano proprio accanto alla barca. I nostri capitani conoscono i branchi di delfini per territorio e comportamento, quindi passi più tempo con loro e meno tempo a cercare. Dopo l'incontro con i delfini, ti portiamo in punti selezionati con cura a cui le grandi barche non possono accedere: acque chiare e poco profonde, tranquille barriere coralline dell'entroterra e sabbie nascoste. I principianti si sentono sicuri, le famiglie rilassate e gli snorkeler esperti ottengono una visibilità subacquea davvero buona. Personalizzato, senza fretta e gestito da un equipaggio locale a cui importa davvero: questo è ciò che distingue questo viaggio.

We had so many great experiences all on one trip! We saw dolphins, rodents in a great boat through a storm, saw sponges, and saw beautiful coral reef fish.
Came to Key West for my birthday weekend and decided to book a sandbar charter because of the excessive sargassum at the beaches. It turned out to be one of the best decision we made! Captain Ionut was cool, friendly, knowledgeable and incredibly hospitable throughout the trip. He made sure we had a great time and knew all the best spots. We got to see some dolphins, then out to a sandbar to enjoy the pristine waters. I’d book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone going out with Dolphin Safari Charters. If you’re booking a charter, ask for Captain Ionut!
We had such a wonderful time! Melanie took the time to let us practice snorkeling and then took us to the location. We saw beautiful dolphins and had a lovely time! Highly recommend!!
Hello Jennifer, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're so happy you had such an amazing time with Captain Melanie. She loves helping first-time snorkelers feel comfortable, so we're thrilled you appreciated practicing before heading to do the real dip. Thank you for your recommendation. We truly appreciate it and hope to see you back in Key West for another unforgettable adventure!
Such a great time our family had out on the water. Loved the trip storming and seeing dolphins. Thanks so much for the memories!
Hi Mona! Thank you guys so much! 😊 We had a blast sharing the day with your family. There's nothing better than being out on the water, spotting dolphins, and making memories together! We're so happy you enjoyed the trip and can't wait to see you all back in Key West for another adventure! 🐬☀️🌴
Excellent experience. Our captain was great with quite a bit of knowledge of Key West. We really enjoyed the small boat with just the 3 of us. our captain put us on a large pod of dolphins right away. Very pleased. Highly recommend!
Hi Dustin, So glad you had such an awesome time! It sounds like a total win getting you right into that big pod of dolphins right away! Having a captain who really knows Key West makes all the difference. Thanks a ton for the high recommendation—we'd love to have you three back out on the water with us anytime!🐬
Great family time with Melanie, our captain. We could see dolphins having fun around the boat. We did several snorkelling spots with hundreds of fish of all colors, huge layers....
Hallo @leschichis, Merci beaucoup pour votre message ! On est vraiment heureux que ce moment avec Mélanie vous ait marqué. Ça nous fait toujours plaisir de savoir que nos sorties créent de beaux souvenirs en famille. Au plaisir de vous revoir bientôt sur l’eau !🐬
Dolphin Safari and Snorkelling very disappointing, we did not see any dolphins, and we did not have the opportunity to Snorkell. In addition, virtually no explanation of Marine fauna and the environment, by the captain of the boat. We just stopped on a tiny island, the mud key, which bears his name, infested with mosquitoes. We picked up some shells on the beach and went straight back to Key West, without seeing a dolphin, or the opportunity to dive with mask and fins. I think it’s a bit expensive to come back with a few shells and a lot of mosquito bites.
Hi Sophie, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback — we take every review seriously and want to address your concerns directly. As you know, the days surrounding your trip brought some of the strongest winds we had seen that week. We reached out the day before your original morning departure and offered to move you to the 1 PM slot, where conditions were expected to be slightly better. You accepted, and we truly appreciated your flexibility — but we also made it clear that neither option would offer ideal conditions. In those kinds of winds, dolphin watching becomes extremely challenging, as dolphins tend to avoid choppy surface waters. Instead, your captain made a professional call to bring your group to the Mud Keys — a sheltered, wind-protected sandbar with calm, crystal-clear turquoise waters. And normally it's available only for our private tour guest. It’s a peaceful, mangroves surounded sandbar with plenty marine life around it, natural setting that offers a far more enjoyable and safe experience compared to attempting snorkeling in rough, murky conditions. Dolphins are wild animals, and while we maintain a 95% sighting rate across our trips, no operator can guarantee sightings — especially in extreme weather. Over the past 20+ years and more than 1,900 five-star reviews, we’ve built our reputation on consistently delivering exceptional experiences when conditions allow. We’re genuinely sorry the weather impacted your trip and understand the disappointment. However, we feel it’s unfair to describe our company as a “tourist trap” when our team communicated transparently, adapted the plan for your safety and comfort, and made every effort to provide the best possible experience that day. We hope you might reconsider how this review reflects on our crew, who worked hard to take care of you.
Although we only saw four dolphins, we snorkeled with hundreds of fish in crystal clear water. Captain Melanie was great! The trip would suit all ages and experience.
Jonathan, Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re so glad you enjoyed the snorkeling—those crystal clear days are exactly why we love being out there. Seeing four dolphins just means those four were the stars of the show! 🐬 Melanie is fantastic at making sure everyone feels comfortable regardless of age, so I’ll be sure to pass your compliments along to her. Hopefully, we'll see you back on the boat the next time you're in the Keys!
Unfortunately due to weather we were unable to go on our trip. The owners were absolutely fantastic trying to reschedule working with our schedule - in fact we were rescheduled 3 times and the wind blocked us each time. The commitment to customer service was outstanding. Thank You for trying!
Hi Rebecca, thank you so much for those kind words! It truly means the world to us. We were so bummed that the wind didn't cooperate—we were rooting for you every time we tried to reschedule! We are so touched by your understanding and patience throughout the process. Please know that whenever you find yourself back in Key West, we’d love to have you back on the books. We’ll be crossing our fingers for those calm, glassy waters so we can finally give you that spectacular day on the water you deserve! Safe travels and see you next time, Alexandra & Eric
We had a great time on our trip! Started out watching for dolphins and got treated to watching a mama and her calf fishing as well as a few others diving near our boat. The snorkeling was amazing, so many colorful fish! Our daughter dived down and saw an eel peeking out from the coral and a Goliath grouper who was quite shy. After our snorkeling we were asking about sharks and our guide took us to an area where we could see 7+ nurse sharks over the side of the boat. A great day, would highly recommend for a smaller more personal experience.
Hello Rebecca, Thank you so much for sharing this — what an incredible day you had! 🐬💙 We love when the ocean puts on a show like that, and it sounds like your daughter had some amazing underwater discoveries too — those are the moments that stick with you. We’re so happy you enjoyed the small, personal experience — that’s exactly what we aim for. Hope to see you all again for another adventure! 🌴🌊
