They made recommendations and explained what we would feel with 3 foot waves & wind. We ultimately decided to cancel the trip and they gave us a full refund. Safety First! I appreciate their honesty despite losing our money that day.”

“The boat is nice. The snorkel experience is meh…. There are definitely much better options outside of Florida. You should know that drinks are limited for the first half and open up to more options after the snorkel. The crew was fine other than the begging for tips. I was fully prepared to tip via Venmo as I did not have any cash until the one crew member started saying “ouch” to anyone not throwing cash in the jar. That type of entitlement is a real turnoff.”

“There was a lot of traffic! In some cases it was quicker to walk than wait for the trolley to get to my next stop. And it was very hard to find parking. I didn't stay in Key West. I stayed on another key and drove to Key West. They don't tell you where to park. You have to figure it out. I checked in and parked at the 20 minute parking spot but when I asked the guy where I can park my rental car he really couldn't help me. So I had to drive around where I finally found a parking lot near the post office, many blocks…”

“Open ocean adventure in paradise! Warm and tranquil waters with live reef, diversity of fish, wildlife and Jesus🙏🏽. Be prepared for a good run out to the reefs. Great trip for those that have snorkeled before and have a sense of adventure. The staff was mature, professional and experienced. Some safety restrictions they have, are wearing a vest and no weight belts. Both were very understandable considering most of the guests inexperience. I have been a free diver and resident of the Hawaiian islands for decades, and this trip was a blast. Strongly recommend this trip and this company. Mahalo nui loa🤙🏽”
