Overview

This two-hour boat tour in Key West offers a family-friendly way to see sharks and other marine animals without entering the water. The trip takes place on an eco-friendly catamaran that cruises through shallow waters near mangrove islands and heads about four miles offshore to a shark viewing site. Along the way, guests can spot dolphins, sea turtles, stingrays, barracudas, tarpon, and native birds while listening to the guide explain the local ecosystem. Bait is used at the shark viewing area to attract lemon, nurse, bull, blacktip, and hammerhead sharks close to the boat for safe observation. Throughout the tour, bottled water, soda, juice, and polarized sunglasses are provided. The boat also has on-board restrooms and a professional guide to assist and inform guests. The tour departs from Key West Extreme Adventures and includes a cruise through Key West harbor and the Key West National Wildlife Refuge where dolphins and other wildlife are commonly seen.
