Snorkeling Tours

Trip details:

What’s better than snorkeling in Key West? Doing it twice! Climb aboard the fast catamaran and embark on a journey that explores Key West’s underwater marvels. During our 3-hour Key West snorkeling trip, you’ll get the chance to snorkel the reef in two different locations. This power catamaran was built for speed and comfort. It’s the quickest way to get to the reef, so you can spend less time traveling and more time snorkeling. Once at the reef, you’ll be given top of the line snorkel gear including a snorkel, mask, fins and a snorkel vest. You’ll also get some professional tips and guidance on how to best snorkel and enjoy your experience. After meeting some of our most popular residents – the colorful marine species that inhabit the reef – we’ll transport you to another ideal location on the reef for more snorkeling.
