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.

One of the best experiences with wildlife that over ever had! We saw lemon sharks, kettle hammerheads, sea turtles, jellyfish, dolphins and so many fish and birds! Everything was beautiful and our guide was very experienced and knowledgeable of all sea creatures! Wish we were staying longer, I would definitely do this all over again!

This was absolutely amazing, the two men running it knew what they were talking about and made sure everyone on the boat was comfortable and getting their money's worth. There were free drinks including Capri-suns, different sodas, and water bottles. The drinks were free of charge and you can help yourself. They did multiple different feedings (we did three) and the people rotated who was in front so everyone got to see the sharks feeding up close. When there was another animal in the water we stopped to look at it, not only did we see sharks we also got to see sea turtles and dolphins. Someone on the boat mentioned wanting to see a turtle and they made sure that person saw a turtle! These people really know what they are talking about, they would talk about the animals behavior and facts about all the animals we saw. Truly one of the best experiences I have ever had and won't soon forget. 100/10
