Key West: Dolphin Watching and Snorkeling Sunset Cruise

About This Experience

This GetYourGuide trip is Sunset Watersports’ dolphin and snorkel cruise with a sunset on the way back. The boat is the Sunset One dolphin boat, a guide explains where you are and where you are going, and the trip lasts about 3 hours. Start times are shown only when you check availability.

The order is dolphins first, then snorkeling, then the ride home. The listing says the boat heads to small islands within the Key West National Wildlife Refuge, naming Cottrell Key, and that you jump into a reef there. Dolphin and turtle sightings are possible, not guaranteed. The listing does not name the reef, and the snorkel stop is the captain’s call.

The only drink listed as included is draft beer, which comes on the ride back, so non-drinkers should not expect much beyond the cruise. Gear and safety equipment are provided. Low-star reviews of this listing mention poor visibility, currents that made snorkeling difficult on some days, and a snorkel spot that disappointed. The dolphins and sunset get better comments.

Gratuities and hotel pickup are not included. The listing is not suited to people with mobility impairments. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before the start for a full refund. Bring ID, swimwear, a towel and biodegradable sunscreen.
