    First time
    The boat crew was very supportive and helpful in providing a great experience. Getting information at the concession building ahead of time was challenging. Despite telling the woman on staff that it was my first time and asking questions, she seemed to want to get rid of me.

    Fan coral plus, fish, current but safe.
    Joel and Zach were great. We appreciated their throne, us and safety precautions. It was just the right amount of time to explore the reef. The fish and coral were beautiful, we especially enjoyed seeing and learning about the fan coral. They are serious about being able to handle the shock of the cold and being able to swim in strong current about 100 yards. I had wet suit, flotation and still challenging.

    Great experience
    Our first time snorkeling and the weather was kinda cold and the water was choppy but the crew on the Sundance (or something similar) were great. They took us to the best possible location based on the weather and explained everything. Even though the weather conditions prevented us from seeing the Christ of the Abyss, we still had a great time.

    Excellent snorkling experience
    It was very fun. We saw lots of colorful fish. Staff were very nice. Boat ride was bumpy but exciting. One of our family members changed her mind because it was a windy day and the staff refunded her ticket which was really nice.

    A panoply of life!
    Intimate views of many species of fish and even some of a centuries old ship wreck. Lindsey, our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable and informative. Much of the reef is unfortunately colorless and dead but that is obviously not their fault. Just something to manage your expectations.

    Soooo much fun.
    The captain and first mate on the Encounter were the best!! They were honest about the conditions and knew their business. Get the dive suits as the winter water is cool, have some warm clothes to put on after. Thanks for a great experience.

    Small Beach and Pretty Area to Walk
    We went in February, so there the water was too cold for us. This was a nice area to walk around. But for people looking for a beach, this is a very tiny beach and there are no beach chairs to be found anywhere ...even to buy or rent. So lesson learned. Beaches aren't really a think in the Keys. But our skewed expectations weren't the fault of the park. For $8 it's a bargain and a nice place to just relax.

    Great people, Beautiful nature
    My teen and I went on the Sundance snorkeling boat with Captain Ed and Art. Everyone from the concessions to the snorkeling equipment hut was pleasant and friendly and helpful. A shout out to Canadian for keeping my husband entertained while we were gearing up!

    Sooo many beautiful fish!
    I was so surprised that I saw such a diverse community of fish and coral. I was here once before in 1986 and I think I saw more in 2024! It was the highlight of our trip and I plan to go again every possible chance I get. Take your children, take your grandkids, take anyone who can swim…it changes everything to reflect on the world under the water. I don’t know how long the reefs will last… Our crew was Joel, Dan and Adam and their professional attitude and enthusiasm was great. I was secretly a little nervous but felt very reassured throughout the whole trip. Do this trip. You will never regret it. It’s much better than you can imagine. The boat trip alone is worth the money.

    Joel and Mike were GREAT snorkel tour guides!
    Joel and Mike were SO fun. They were actually funny too, made us all on the boat laugh. They chose a great area to snorkel and were very observant to make sure everyone who weren’t the strongest swimmers were safe. It was my 3rd time snorkeling here and each time I bring someone new. Till next time!
