First of all, thank you very much for allowing us to join the afternoon tour at short notice due to transport delays to Key Largo! The guides were super nice! They created a great atmosphere and the first snorkeling location was the Christ of the Deep statue. The second spot was also really beautiful and we saw barracudas and even a reef shark. I can really recommend choosing this tour. If the sea is a little rough, take something for seasickness with you.

Unfortunately I was sea sick, this has never happened to me before, but I still have to give 5 stars! The crew was amazing, they were so attentive and made sure everyone was comfortable. The snorkeling was great and the people with me really enjoyed it. Brad and Nate were awesome!

It was a truly great experience! We didn’t feel rushed, enjoyed a nice swim, got all the guidance and tips where to swim, guides made sure we are comfortable and have all we need to enjoy the experience. Saw a lot of colorful fish and coral riffs. Highly recommend!
