Half Day Snorkel Trip on Reefs in the Florida Keys
Overview
3 hours 30 minutes
Mobile ticket
Come join us snorkeling some of the most beautiful reefs within the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary and Pennekamp State Park. We have many possible reefs to explore: Molasses, Elbow, French Reef and the famous Christ of the Abyss on Dry Rocks. These protected areas offer an opportunity to see turtles, spotted eagle rays, moray eels and a variety of different fish. These special reefs are part of the 3rd largest living reef system in the world and the ONLY living coral reef in the US. We stop at two different locations on the reef. Each stop is determined by the captain based on the day's conditions. We cannot guarantee any specific site. We also offer scuba diving on our trips.
In an effort to reduce the amount of single-use plastic that ends up in our oceans, we recommend bringing a reusable water bottle. We have water coolers in our shop and on our boats for your convenience!

5.00Great experience with my son Joe and the captain super nice and fun made it a great experience. They give you plenty time on the reefs! They played with my son played music and just awesome crew no waiting around forever either. However I do not recommend purchasing through Viator even though they are great company being we actually paid more than they would have charged us onsite and it would have included jest ski after the trip. Viator actually must have taken a cut of the money. You can book onsite and get more bang for your buck with both your and jet ski for less than Viator is charging for just a snorkel tour. I will go through piratescovewatersports directly in the future! Do this trip with their company they are great have an office with souvenirs and great crew!!! Loved it highly recommend!!! Thx Joe and captain for great memories with my son!!!

5.00Great experience with great crew that made sure we were all informed and safe. Had everything you needed. A lot of value for your time.. says 3 hours and you are really on the boat and active for that time! Cool fish in the reef. Reef plants are pretty amazing AND the shark that swam under us was pretty cool ( too small to be dangerous)
