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.

We had a great trip. All 3 guys working the trip were great. The sharks were awesome. Amazing to see their raw power. Then we got to see some dolphins. We did a lot on this trip, turtle hospital, multiple boat rides but this was everybody's favorite.

Have your own shark week experience, live and in person! This is a must do for the whole family! Seeing sharks thrashing around in the water, only a few feet away, was incredible! Captains were very knowledgeable and helpful. Posted some photos, I had to snapshot them from some of my videos. Great experience!
