★★★★★★★★★★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.”
