Review of Key West’s half-day schooner trip with mangrove kayaking, reef snorkeling, snacks, drinks, and a sunset sail.

“Micah and Katy were great hosts! Snacks were healthy. They were great guides made sure we had enough to drink. We were given a mini history of Key West. Wishing the kayaking went through the mangroves more. Not much to see with the snorkeling, some sponges, small fish and a lobster and jelly fish. Did get to hold a Casiopian jelly fish which was cool.”

Watch wild bottlenose dolphins and snorkel Key West waters on a small, eco-minded catamaran tour with patient guides and fresh snacks.

“Our guides, Bryan and Rachael, were wonderful. I learned a lot of really interesting facts about dolphins in addition to getting the chance to observe them in the wild. We loved how Bryan nerded out while snorkeling, brining things up from the bottom for us to see (a sea urchin, a sea star, a sea snail). They seem very committed to sustainability and responsibility in their operation - overall a great experience that you can feel good about.”
