Dolphin Watching and Snorkeling Experience in Key West

Spend around three hours on the clear, shallow waters off Key West on this eco-minded catamaran trip that combines dolphin watching with snorkeling. Departing from Greene Street, the cruise heads out into the Gulf of Mexico to look for wild bottlenose dolphins in their natural habitat, where you may see them leap and somersault through the air. Key West is home to around 300 non-migratory dolphin pods and the operator reports a 98% sighting success rate, although sightings cannot be guaranteed. The tour promotes responsible dolphin watching, so swimming with the dolphins is not allowed. Next, slip into the crystal-clear backcountry shallows to snorkel among tropical fish, coral and rays, with a mask, snorkel, fins and a buoyancy vest provided. An English-speaking guide leads the trip, and on the way back to shore you can relax in the sunshine with a complimentary soda, Corona, Bud Light or glass of wine. Several departures run through the day, so you can choose the time that suits your Key West plans.
