What an incredible day out on the water! We booked a private charter and did some snorkeling Dolphin watching and relaxed on the sandbar! The snorkeling was amazing. We saw lots of fish, a nurse shark and a sea turtle! The dolphins were very playful and fun that day as well. The sandbar was so relaxing and just what we needed for the perfect day thank you Captain John!

We had such a wonderful dolphin and snorkeling boat tour. We saw dolphins up close and while snorkeling, we spotted so many beautiful fish. The crew was friendly, everything felt safe and fun, and the whole experience was just amazing. Highly recommended.

אחד הימים הטובים בטיול ובכלל, יצאנו לשיט פרטי, ראינו מהסירה שתי להקות דולפינים במרחק נגיעה. במקום שלקחו אותנו לעשות שנירקול היו המון כרישים וסטינגרייס ולסיים שחיה רגועה באזור רדוד עם מיי טורקיז יפיפיים. הקפטנית הייתה מקסימה וקשובה לכל בקשה שלנו. מומלץ ביותר ושווה את ההבדל במחיר משייט בקבוצה גדולה

It’s the perfect choice for your next adventure! And we appreciate having Melanie as our tour guide! 🥲 After extensive research, I chose Dolphin Safari Charters for one simple reason: they prioritize unforgettable, intimate experiences. Their small-group tours (limited to 6 people) or private excursions is a perfect way to enjoy your time, without bumping shoulders with the person next to you. On the day of our tour, we experienced clouds—but as a Floridian—thank goodness, because it was HOT! 🤣 You'll get up close and personal with nature's most magical creatures-wild dolphins—in their natural habitat. For me, that moment was pure magic and the adventure didn't stop there. You'll also: • Snorkel in vibrant coral reefs and explore shallow sandbars where the water is clear. •Stay in safe, calm waters—no seasickness! And enjoyed a little speed. •The guides are pros at keeping you comfortable. Again, Melanie was awesome!!! •Enjoy included amenities like snorkeling gear, flotation noodles, chilled beverages, light snacks, and even a freshwater rinse to freshen up. •Bring your own drinks and snacks if you'd like—because why not make it your way? This was such a fun experience! I’m so glad I found y’all 😃😃

Super expérience avec Tim comme capitaine. Petit groupe pour pouvoir profiter au maximum. Nous avons vu des dauphins tout proches pendant 30mins avant d’aller faire du snorkelling sur un joli spot : j’ai vu un requin et une raie. Merci.

Bonjour Florian !
Merci beaucoup pour ce superbe avis ! Nous sommes ravis que tu aies apprécié l’expérience en petit groupe et que tu aies pu voir les dauphins de si près pendant aussi longtemps. 🐬
Et quelle belle rencontre avec la vie marine locale, avec le requin et la raie lors du snorkeling !
Nous serons ravis de t’accueillir à nouveau à Key West ! À bientôt !

So grateful for such a beautiful day out on the water with Captain Melanie … we saw SO MANY dolphins and were even lucky enough to have them swimming right in front of us off the bow of the boat, incredible~! Then while we were snorkeling some of them even swam right between some other people who were snorkeling just 50 feet or so from us while we were in the water, unbelievable, I’ve def never seen that before. AND we saw a sea turtle nestled on the ocean floor while we were snorkeling (so rare). Capt Melanie topped off our trip by taking us to a gorgeous sandbar. 💙☀️ The entire day was amazing, I was in heaven.

Wir hatten einen perfekten Trip mit Kapitän John. Modernes Boot und eine kleine, nette Gruppe von 6 Personen waren super. Das Highlight waren neben den vielen Delphinen die ganz nah ans Boot kamen das Schnorcheln. Neben bunten Fischen haben wir Stingrays und Riffhaie gesehen. Einmalig

Amazing dolphin trip Wow! We booked this as a family of four, we wanted an experience that was a little more personal and not a huge group. There were six of us and our captain “Tim”. Tim made us feel welcome from the moment we stepped onboard the boat. He knew just the right places to take us to try and spot dolphins, he hit the jackpot as we saw a group of five. He didn’t rush us and allowed us to watch the dolphins for quite some time. He then took us to a perfect spot to do some snorkelling. We saw lots of different species and again Tim guided us and gave us plenty of information about the different species we saw. After snorkelling he took us to swim on the sand banks, very warm and relaxing. My daughters thoroughly enjoyed the trip, they particularly enjoyed sitting at the front of the boat when it went fast through the water! Tim was very knowledgeable and very friendly, happily answering questions from all guests. We’d 100% go on another dolphin tour with Tim 😊

Wir hatten gestern eine wirklich tolle Tour und waren rundum zufrieden. Unser Kapitän Tim war super freundlich, hat uns viel gezeigt und ist jederzeit auf unsere Wünsche eingegangen. Besonders angenehm fanden wir, dass er immer wieder gefragt hat, ob wir noch bei den Delfinen bleiben möchten oder schon weiter zum Schnorcheln fahren wollen. Die ganze Tour war entspannt, persönlich und hat uns sehr viel Spaß gemacht. Auch unsere Kinder waren total begeistert. Vielen Dank an Tim für dieses schöne Erlebnis – wir würden die Tour jederzeit wieder machen und können sie absolut weiterempfehlen!

Superbe fin de journée avec dolphin safari charters et la capitaine Mélanie , adorable , passionnée, qui a réussi à nous faire approcher des dauphins même par mer avec courant, pas facile, ensuite nous avons pu nager avec un petit requin (flippé j’étais) et des raies , superbe , faites bosser cette petite entreprise , rien à voir avec les grands tours , on a adoré. En plus pour nous Francophone , le boss, super sympa , est canadien (Montréal) et peut s’exprimer dans notre langue .. c’a fait du bien , en plus , il est vrais chouette, il mérite de bosser

Bonjour Sylvain,

Merci infiniment pour ce magnifique témoignage ! ❤️ C’est un immense plaisir de savoir que vous avez passé une si belle fin de journée avec Mélanie et que vous avez pu profiter de ces moments magiques avec les dauphins, les raies et même le petit requin ! 🐬🦈
Vos mots me touchent particulièrement, et votre soutien à notre petite entreprise familiale signifie énormément pour nous. Et oui, en tant que Montréalais, ça me fait toujours plaisir de pouvoir accueillir nos amis francophones et de partager un petit bout de chez nous ici à Key West. 🇨🇦❤️
Merci encore pour votre confiance et votre gentillesse. Au plaisir de vous revoir à Key West ! ☀️🐬

10/10 must add to travel plans! Thank you Eddy for making this an incredible adventure! This is an amazing price for the amount of time we got to spend on the water! I liked that there are only 6 passengers per boat and that there were snacks and drinks on board after snorkeling. Truly a great atmosphere and a beautiful day to be out in the reef!! Thank you again for your expertise and time today, we hope to see you again!

Wir waren begeistert! Leider keine Delfine gesehen, aber das ist ja Glückssache und das kann man nicht erzwingen. Fanden allein schon die Bootsfahrt toll, Capitän Eddie war großartig. Das Schnorcheln hat uns mega Spaß gemacht. Wir durften erst in nicht so tiefem Wasser üben und sind dann ins tiefere Gewässer. Unsere Tochter wollte gar nicht mehr aufhören. Getränke, kleine Snacks und das komplette Schnorchelzubehör waren an Board dabei. Absolut empfehlenswert!
