Very nice day in Key West. Not much time on site but no choice given the distance from Miami. We had taken the boat option with dolphin watching. We saw them as planned. Our captain Nicole was very kind and pleasant. Many boat trips were canceled because of the wind that day, but not ours. The captain was great and professional. Very nice place.

It was wonderful! The keeper was very kind and the dolphins are treated super well. No pressure to perform. Just a magical moment!

We really enjoyed it. Everything was as described. The trip to Key West was definitely worth it ☺️

Luis was amazing with the narration and the drive was very smooth and enjoyable.

Great activity, bus on time and great activity we were able to see dolphins!
