Would be great for people wanting a traditional experience

8 Hour – Sandbar Hopping4 adults2 children

We were looking to hire a captain to take us out for a day of snorkeling. We messaged the captain when we booked and he was on board. Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate for us to go to the reef for snorkeling and we mentioned several times we really wanted to snorkel. He mentioned being able to snorkel in the mangroves where the wind was calmer, but it seemed like he had a route already planned. He took us sandbar hopping and only took us in one area of mangroves suitable for snorkeling, but there was maybe only a 30 foot stretch to snorkel, which didn’t take long. It was still neat to see the different sandbars and get a typical key west experience, but we were looking for something more personalized to what we were wanting. We understand you can’t control the weather, but it was disappointing to not have more opportunity to snorkel the mangroves outside of the one place he took us, especially because we kept asking and talking about wanting to snorkel.

    I seriously cannot say enough good things about our experience and all of my years of dealing with anyone in customer service. Our captain went above and beyond in everything he did. If you are even considering booking this, just do it! You won’t regret it.
