2.Full-Day Key West Tour and Coral Reef Snorkeling with Open Bar

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 216 reviews · 15 hours (approx.) · from $99

Ride from Miami to Key West, explore independently, then join a three-hour catamaran snorkeling cruise with gear and drinks included. The boat may visit Sand Key Lighthouse, Rock Key, or nearby reef sites. Hosts such as Lily and Marbelis are praised for helpful guidance, but weather and water clarity can change the experience.

3.Beginner Friendly Island Snorkeling

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 129 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $99

Paddle through mangroves, ride a boat to Sandspur Island, and try beginner-friendly snorkeling near Miami. Guides such as Alejandra, Francis, Ashley, and Sean lead the outing, with gear, water, fruit, and a small group of up to 10 included.

“Captain Gabby was very good. She was enthusiastic and very accommodating. As for the kayaking, there was barely any waiting time and the communication was amazing. The guide was with us every step of the way while kayaking and we felt very safe. There was water provided when we took a little break while kayaking on the water. The tip was all included so we didnt need to tip the guides. The price was very reasonable and I highly recommend this to everyone.”
