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.

Brilliant trip for myself, my husband and our teenage boys. Saw about 20 lemon sharks and was great watching them feeding. The crew were really friendly, funny and informative. Totally recommend this trip if you are visiting Key West!!

Great tour and highly recommend! Got to see Lemon sharks feeding up close and learn about the different shark species. Captain and Crews are very knowledgeable. We didn't find any dolphins but not due to lack of effort. Very cool experience

This lived up to the photos and reviews I’d read. The crew were brilliant and informative. There was water etc on board. Everyone got to see the sharks. Loads of photos and videos. The crew looked for dolphins on the way back, but they were hiding. It was still worth the trip.

It is nice to know that the sharks delivered the experience you anticipated. Documenting the shark feeding frenzy is quite the share to others so we are pleased to know you have some great content.
