Wow! - Okay, I'm not gonna write a novel, but this day was really too good. Tim the captain is cool, super interesting and he knows every corner of these waters. Dolphins, we've seen them three times! Every time, it was different, closer, more impressive. Snorkelling I'd done before but there the level was something else. Fish, dolphins, turtles... my brother Noah was shooting everything with his GoPro and the videos are crazy. Well I also spent a lot of time on a kind of floating mattress trying not to fall 😂. The sunset on the way back was really impressive and I’m not normally the type to get ecstatic about a sunset. In short, if you hesitate, hesitate more.

Very nice experience! - Well, I'm the one who booked so I'm relieved it's as well! 😄 Seriously, Captain Tim is a pro. Discreet when necessary, present when necessary. Three groups of dolphins at different times — not just a quick pass, we really watched them. The snorkeling spot was perfect, shallow, ideal for beginners but with enough marine life to amaze everyone — manta ray, turtles, lobster, wreck, messy fish. The sandbar with the swing suspended by two ropes from a tree feet in the water, I didn't expect it at all, really nice little bonus. The boys were busy all day between the lily pad, the duck and the ball. Sunny day, almost zero wind, it was perfect. The return with that pink sky over Key West... hard to do better. Second charter with them, we know what we do when we book already for next year.

Memorable moment with family - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “I honestly didn’t know what to expect, my husband had everything organized. But what a nice surprise! Captain Tim was attentive with everyone, he felt when the children got impatient and always found something to keep them busy — the inflatable duck, the lily pad, the soccer ball... me meanwhile I enjoyed the sun quietly, it's rare on family trips! The dolphins we saw three different groups, I cried the first time so beautiful. Snorkelling in this shallow and transparent water, even I who am a beginner felt confident. Colorful fish, a manta ray, turtles... and a wreck! We ended up on a sandbar with a swing hooked by two ropes to a tree feet in the water, I even jumped on it, my sons couldn't believe it. The pink sunset on the way back... I just put my phone away and watched it with Luke. Second time with Dolphin Safari Charters. We'll be back next year, it's already booked.”

We had a fantastic time... - We had a fantastic time exploring the Key West area and seeing the Dolphins. Was so nice to be able to tailor the day to what our family enjoyed. The operator was extremely responsive and even helped get us back to our cruise boat with plenty of time to spare. Highly recommend!

Great Private Tour!!! ~ Key West Area - This experience is absolutely worth it! The boat ride was excellent, and the crew was very knowledgeable about the history and the area. We saw some amazing sandbars and plenty of sea life while visiting numerous snorkeling spots. The places we explored were very private, and we rarely saw larger tour boats around us, making it even more special! Captain Eddie and Cam were fantastic guides, and we highly recommend this company and this experience in particular!
