We had the best day! We are so glad that we booked the dolphin/snorkel trip, it couldn’t have been more perfect. The captain and guide were so friendly and knowledgeable, they really made it a terrific day. I only wish that we booked another trip with them while we were there. Everything was so organized and fun, we will definitely be booking another trip when we return to Key West!

Wow simply great fun times.

Vidal_F, Apr 2024

Everything! This trip was amazing. I wasn’t expecting this much fun. I figured we’d be out and about looking for dolphins we might not even see and just a simple snorkel, but no. This trip doesn’t just allow us NOT to see dolphins, we will see dolphins at every ride with them and that is something I loved. The skipper named Andrew was amazingly knowledgeable and taught the crowd a lot about the dolphin life. Then the snorkeling was something you won’t forget because you’re treated with the utmost love and attentiveness from the crew. I was offered equipment and instructions which really made the snorkeling easy. For those who can’t swim, don’t be afraid of this, they’re professionals and are attentive to you all the time. The part that made it even better was end of the day when the sunset hit and the fresh ocean air hit my body while music and drinks are being served. Amazing 1000 out of 10000!!! Recommended it that good.

Great Morning on the Water

Brenda_B, Apr 2024

Captain Amanda & Liv were amazing. Very friendly, shared great information & pointed out some cool stuff when we were snorkeling.

Great way to spend a beautiful day in the Keys.

Stephen_E, Apr 2024

Seeing dolphins was so exciting. The captain and her assistant (sorry don't remember their names) were wonderful. We didn't see any fish while snorkeling but it was still fun. The highlight of our trip was seeing numerous dolphins.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Thank you for the five-star review, Stephen! It is not often we hear of someone not seeing any fish while snorkeling. We are so glad there were a bunch of dolphins to make up for it! You are welcome back anytime!

Watching the dolphins so...

Jennifer_E, Apr 2024

Watching the dolphins so closed in their natural habit and snorkeling, while also respecting oceans ecosystem.

Nice day out at the see

Sari_T, Apr 2024

Saw some dolphins, turtles and snorkeled in sponge garden. The snorkeling was ok, but a bit of a let down since there wasn’t much to see. Boat was spacious and had fresh water shower & toilet. Free drinks. The crew was really nice & professional.

Dolphin watch

Cynthia_L, Apr 2024

Liv and Amanda were great! They were knowledgeable about the area and made the trip fun and exciting.

Fantastic!

Kathryn_P, Mar 2024

Anne and Brooke were absolutely wonderful! They genuinely cared that everyone on the boat was having a great experience. Learned so many cool facts about the dolphins and had the opportunity to see them up close!

Great experience!

Prachee_D, Mar 2024

We took the dolphin and snorkeling trip and it was a great experience. The captain was knowledgeable and also remained persistent on finding the dolphins. I would highly recommend them.

Great experience

Heather_S, Mar 2024

Great experience. Highly recommend. Matthew and Zane were excellent captains. They were very knowledgeable about the dolphins and snorkeling experience and able to answer most questions.

Very pleasant

Roxie_P, Mar 2024

The crew was very friendly and made everyone comfortable yet you knew they were in control. Just a nice little adventure for a Spring day.

Great well worth it

Matt_L, Mar 2024

We enjoyed the dolphins but the snorkeling was really fun the captain and first mate were knowledgeable and pleasant

Fun for family of all ages

Cheri_G, Feb 2024

Captain Jude was so helpful when I experienced a little panic combined with some seasickness. We got to see dolphins and snorkel and felt so taken care of the whole time. Music and cold drinks the whole time. Loved it!

Great crew, lots of fun, not so good weather

Kitt_T, Feb 2024

The staff was knowledgeable and knew right where to go to see dolphin. The crew was also attentive and helpful. The negative (hense the 4 rather that 5 star) was that the snorkeling wasn't that good. The water was too murky and the waves too choppy. February maybe isn't the best time to snorkel. I should have booked a viewing only tour.

A must do

Patti_S, Feb 2024

Best trip in Key West! Saw dolphins and Amanda and Alesha are rock stars! Calm waters, loads of sunshine!

Fun Dolphin watch with Captain Anna and First Mate Ally!

Maura_K, Jan 2024

As a marine biologist major in college, Ally imparted many facts about marine life, area bird patterns, coral reefs and other marine ecosystems, that we didn't already know. Very interesting stuff. Captain Anna was both focused on providing us with a safe and memorable adventure, and generous in engaging us on board in friendly conversation and observations. The pair were both warm, friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. We'd recommend this adventure anytime. As a side note, I called a few days before departure because I sprained my ankle and was getting around on crutches, and wanted to be sure the adventure was both safe and accessible. They assured me that it was, so while I missed the snorkeling aspect of the adventure, I sure did see my share of dolphins!

Highly recommend

Karen_K, Jan 2024

The trip was awesome! Nicole & Katlin were very knowledgeable & friendly. Would highly recommend this trip.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Thank you for the review, Karen! Nicole and Katlin will appreciate the shout-out! Please join us again!

Overall good ocean experience

Holly_T, Dec 2023

We were able to see dolphins and the staff was very knowledgeable about them. Crew was friendly and helpful. Snorkeling time was limited. If you’re looking for more of a snorkeling experience, I would choose one of their other excursions. Great for on the water family experience.

Great dolphin watching trip

Jolene_F, Dec 2023

Of course seeing very active dolphins including a baby. Crew was professional, experienced, and yet fun. Boat was clean and well stocked. Fury Water communications were easy. Viator booking was easy.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Thank you for the review, Jolene! How exciting it must have been to see a mother and her calf! Our crew works very hard to show the guests an incredible time while keeping them safe! You are welcome back anytime!

Fantastic!!

Tracie_P, Dec 2023

Lisa, Ivy and Ayden were awesome! Friendly, attentive and fun. Saw beautiful fish on the reef and dolphins on the way! Highly recommend this company and crew! Thank you

Lots of dolphins and fish!

Sherry_S, Dec 2023

We saw several pods of dolphins during this trip (probably at least 20 of them total). And the snorkeling was amazing!! Anna and Amanda were great.
