★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 118 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $79

Review of Key Largo’s half-day catamaran snorkel trip, with two reef stops, gear, snacks, practical tips, drawbacks, and booking advice.

“My most memorable experience of the trip was forgetting to take my jacket off with my wallet in the unzipped pocket. It is a miracle the wallet did not fall out along with my driver's license and thus my ticket home. It was encouraging to see a live coral reef, and amazing to view the Christus statue. The entire team was extremely attentive and helpful. Though we were the only snorkelers, it was informative to go with others who were scuba diving as well.”

One of our f group was not dropped at her hotel and they passed it. They got her an Uber to get to her hotel and she didn’t get back until 7 pm. Not happy with this tour.”

★★★★★★★★★★3.0 · 53 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $39Best value

See Miami by double-decker bus, pause in Little Havana and add a 75-minute skyline cruise for a useful first look at the city.

“The tour itself was wonderful. The tour company running it was horrible. I got so many text messages and emails with conflicting information about start/end times and start and end meeting spots, a phone number that did not connect to a human and a bullying incident at the main office... that it ruined the day. The tour route changed also, not leaving enough time in Little Havana- the most exciting part of the tour!”
