I signed up for the Safari Snorkel tour. We were in Key West for one day with our cruise. I thought this would be the perfect excursion. It was absolutely terrible. Nothing as advertised. The tour cost $170 for two people. We were the only two people they had at the time for the tour. After about 2 minutes of explaining how to operate the boat, we followed the tour guides about 15 minutes away were they anchored the boats. At NO TIME were we given a tour of anything. Nothing was ever explained or mentioned. They kept their boat so far from ours and were going so fast we could barely understand the hand signals. We did not anchor at a beach. Instead we anchored near a woodsy area with power lines. Water was too cloudy and at no time did we see any fish. After that we followed them as they sped around Key West...again no tour no words exchanged. I was highly disappointed in this tour. I would not recommend at all!

Michelle, Firstly, thank you for your review. I assure you that we read each and everyone of them in an effort to constantly improve the experience for all of our guests. We spoke to the crew on that trip in which we were told that you informed them that you were well informed on the boat usage and felt comfortable with the vessel. I do apologize that you were not able to hear the guides throughout the tour, the tour is designed to take multiple boats on a tour of the key west waters, however our guides are not speaking the entire trip as it would be near impossible to yell against the wind and all the way to the last boat. The trip is designed to follow the lead boat as they guide the guests through the key west waters, back country and make multiple stops at snipes point and other local sandbars. At these stops they give insight on the local animals and other points of interest. Again, thank you for your review, we highly value any and all opportunities to improve our guests experience.

Our tour guide, Blake, was awesome! However, I booked this online and it wasn't as advertised... not even a little. For starters, it doesn't leave from hurricane hole marina and we had a REALLY hard time finding it. It was advertised as Swim and snorkel in crystal clear waters with more than 600 species of colorful fish, coral and other sea life. The listing talked a lot about reefs, etc. The mini boats were definitely really cool. We went out back country, which was stunning. But we didn't go to a reef, we went to a sand bar in the middle of nowhere and snorkeled mangrove forest, not reef. It was still really cool in it's own right, and definitely worth the trip, but I couldn't help but leave feeling disappointed. The listing had me pretty psyched up about the worlds third largest barrier reef and all the turtles and parrot fish I'd see. Instead it was barracuda and mangrove snapper. Still a cool trip, but tripadvisor/viator false advertised and mislead me.

We had the first tour of the day and we were the only ones booked . We had Chris as our tour guide and he was awesome! The both were great and we headed straight out to open water and sped around for a little bit . He went into the man groves which were absolutely beautiful and beached the boats on a small beach where we were able to snorkel . Chris pointed out the best places for snorkeling and showed us where there was a shipwreck that we could check out as well . after a bit we headed out to a sandbar where we anchored the boats and walked around and got to see Rays and sea cucumbers. We headed back out to play with the boats for a little bit , visited an area where we got to see some amazing homes including the house from Real world Key West before heading back in . Chris was an awesome guide he made us feel safe and comfortable and we had a blast with him !
