“Had a great time with Captain Zane and 1st mate Ali. We got an opportunity to see some dolphins and snorkel. Ali was very patient with all us 1st time snorkelers. She made us all feel comfortable in the water. I definitely will be returning. Great job Team Fury!”

2.MIAMI: Key West Dolphin Watch Tour

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 47 reviews · 15 hours (approx.) · from $89

Travel from Miami to Key West by coach, with commentary from guides such as Luis, David, or Ramon on some departures. You get about six hours to explore, plus optional dolphin watching, snorkeling, glass-bottom boating, or city tours at an extra cost. Snorkel gear is included when that option is selected.

“Beautiful views on sea & islands. Good atmosphere on the ship/nice crew. However, after we saw 1 dolphin, the captain stopped further searching for them. Snorkeling was nice, but not on the right spot for hard corals, so only a limited number of fish. The bus trip was nice and beautiful, and crew lead Luis was informative and cooperative. Exploring Key West on foot was very nice. Next time I would join the bus again and either stay in Key West, or take another snorkeling trip.”

3.Miami to Key West Shuttle: Dolphin, Snorkeling & More

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 10 reviews · from $17Best value

Ride from Miami Beach to Key West in a comfortable coach, then enjoy about six hours on the island. Choose shuttle-only, dolphin watching with snorkeling, a glass-bottom boat, or a jet ski outing. English and Spanish service, with hotel pickup possible by request.

“Guides were wonderful! CORAL REEF was ALL BROWN. Do not go on this snorkel trip we looked down and the entire time it was just all brown and maybe a couple fish which were also brown. Very sad and not worth the view and I think the coral would appreciate time without people. Saw 6 bottlenose dolphins which was neat and guides knew a lot”
