Dolphin Watch and Snorkel Stop
Dolphin watching above and snorkeling below the waters of Key West. Is there anything sweeter?
As you leave the seaport on your power catamaran, you will head toward the waters of the Gulf of Mexico, where Key West dolphins swim, play, and feed in their own natural habitat. The catamaran you’re traveling on for this Key West excursion is part of an exciting national conservation program, so your knowledgeable and experienced crew will offer facts and research information as you responsibly view some of the more than 200 bottle-nose dolphins that call this area home. You will spend approximately 1 hour looking for dolphins.
After viewing the dolphins, you will head off to one of the many unique snorkel locations in the Key West National Wildlife Refuge, created in 1908 by Teddy Roosevelt. Based on the water conditions that day, your captain will find the best location to make the most of your snorkeling adventure.
These “backcountry” shallow waters are home to a variety of sponges, coral, and tropical fish. You will have approximately 1 hour to snorkel from the boat, during which your experienced crew will share their extensive knowledge of the amazing wildlife. For those new to snorkeling, the crew can teach even a novice how to snorkel and have a great time.
Day 1 |
Key lime pie, anyone? Beaches, margaritas and relaxed vibes are all part of visiting the island city of Key West, where summer never ends. World-class diving and snorkeling opportunities abound here, and when they're not in the water, tourists find Cuban food and visit the historical homes of Harry S. Truman and Ernest Hemingway. Key West is a popular cruise ship stop, but drivers can also access it via the scenic Overseas Highway. Be sure to stand at the Southernmost Point of the Continental United States, marked by a painted buoy. |
