What To Expect

Key West Extreme Adventures Shark Tours

After check-in, the Tiger Cat will cruise through Key West harbor on the way to the Key West National Wildlife Refuge. Here guests will see numerous sharks and a variety of wildlife including dolphin.

Key West

Travel through shallow water close to mangrove islands as you make your way about 4 miles (6.4 km) away from shore to the shark viewing site. Along the way, keep your eyes open for dolphin, sea turtles, stingrays, barracudas, tarpon and an array of native birds. Listen to your experienced pilot discuss the delicate ecosystem of this area and its abundance of wildlife. Enjoy complimentary water, soda, juice — as well as the use of polarized sunglasses — during your trip. When you arrive at the shark destination, get ready for an unforgettable experience! Your pilot will use bait to draw a host of sharks that swim right up to the boat so you and your family can observe them in safety and comfort. See numerous lemon and nurse sharks, and watch out for bull, black tip and hammerhead sharks during nearly one hour of shark viewing. Capture dramatic photos you can't wait to share with family and friends.

Everything about our experience was wonderful, the crew the boat, and of course the sharks. The crew was fun and we enjoyed them sharing their knowledge and experiences with us. Highly recommend.

Part of your trip is free soda and water. If you spot any marine life you get a free water or soda. Also, if you talk with the captain he will offer you a free soda or water!! Great ride. Hosts are energetic.

We too were happy to know that no sea sickness was had by that young man. Our sea sick-less passenger record continues to over 15 years now.
