What to expect

On this family-friendly experience, we venture out to balmy Backcountry waters to snorkel in Key West’s wildlife sanctuary before searching the Gulf of Mexico for Key West’s wild dolphins at play. The adventure starts on our Seabreeze catamaran, a 45ft Corinthian powercat, where you’ll have plenty of space to relax under some covered shade while our local crew shares their knowledge of the ecology and wildlife of Key West. You’ll also have plenty of time to ask questions and gain new insights into our tropical paradise! Jump in and discover the natural beauty under the sea with starfish, rays, turtles, conch, corals, sponges, and tropical fish. We will always bring you to the best snorkel spot of the day – from the artificial reef at Archer Key to the famous Great Florida Reef, the only natural reef located in the continental United States! Every trip is different as we cruise along searching for dolphins and appreciating whatever Mother Nature offers up on any given day: Dolphins, eagle rays, sea turtles, ospreys, frigate birds, and migratory birds. During this time you’ll observe dolphins cavorting in their natural habitat among deserted tropical islands.
