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 this was perfect. The 3 family members operating were funny and very nice. They provided as many beverages as you liked and we saw turtles, lemon sharks, and dolphins. Boat has shade and plenty of seats.

Family owned business. An experienced 43 year Master Captain and his two sons that are captains too. Ride is smooth and good for all ages. You are able to stand up for 95% of the 2 hour tour. I’m prone to seasickness and didn’t have an issue. We saw a loggerhead turtle, lemon sharks and a couple pods of dolphins. Very knowledgeable and helpful captains. We called the day before for some additional info and they were very helpful. I can’t recommend enough!
