Everyone was helpful, will pick again with the same company any time Highly recommended, no questions asked!
Very busy time of year so the boat had a full load.
The reef is quite nice, and the drinks after the snorkeling are very welcome.

pretty awful!
Diane_W, Aug 2022
We did a snorkeling outing in key largo that was really fantastic and thought key west must be spectacular as well so decided to book it but there was only a handfull of different fish species to see, and the area we were brought to swim in was way above the coral so hard to see the reef and any interesting formations so far below as well as the bit of sea life that was there and many people including myself got stung by jellyfish. I believe the people who arrange these outings have to be aware of this kind of situation and not put people in harms way unnecessarily. The only highlight was the margaritas and I could of had that at my hotel for way less money!
Fun
Alfredo_L, Aug 2022
It was so nice and fun , my son is ten year old, he enjoyed all , he was in the water all the time. The margarita was awesome after all aventura
Meh
Carolyn_G, Jul 2022
It was just alright. A lot of the reasons for the mediocrity were completely out of the company’s control. The weather and sea conditions made us go to an alternate location where there was low visibility and not a lot to look at. Most of the crew members were amazing. Jack had major condescending energy. After telling all 90 people on board to approach him with any issues and when I did I was talked down to and over. I tried addressing it again and then got called “sweetheart”. Not a vibe. BUT the rest of the crew was wonderful.

Do it!!!
Jana_R, Jul 2022
The captain and crew were amazing!!! They treated us like old friends and can’t wait to come back next year!
It was great until we had...
Vivian_A, Jun 2022
It was great until we had to get equipment. The young guy handing them out was not nice or patient and than made a comment to make people laugh at me. Way to go to embarrass a single mom and her kids. I told my son how staff treat people determines a tip. His treatment made that tip go from $100 to $10.
Over all great...
Lucien_B, Jun 2022
Over all great experience. Was traveling with my family (kids between 15-7) Did not appreciate the jokes. We’re not family friendly. Again, other than that great experience.
Fun snorkeling trip
Angelica_C, Jun 2022
Great location viewing the coral reef. The staff is very friendly and the drinks after snorkeling is a nice bonus.
A Beautiful Afternoon Snorkeling
Steve_P, May 2022
A beautiful afternoon. Everything is so nicely managed and organized, you can totally relax and let them drive. Plenty of staff, very friendly and a super safe experience. My daughter was a nit scared to go in the ocean but captain steve was so nice answering her questions, she came in and had a great time. Thank you!

I snorkeled with several schools of fish… it was magical . They were on their way to Cuba… fortunately for me the staff was alert and corrected my course!
Disappointing
Tanyell_D, May 2022
I was expecting to see what the picture showed, but it was nothing like that. I saw about 3 different types of fish and 1 pretty purple coral at the bottom. The rest was brown and dead. Having the opportunity to say I've snorkelsd and getting to swim in the atlantic is why I rate it at a 2. That part was enjoyable. The boat ride was beautiful but if you are expecting what's shown in the ad you will be greatly disappointed like me.
