Review of Key Largo’s Molasses Reef snorkeling trip, covering marine life, boat comfort, conditions, value, safety, and who should book.

“Activité sympa mais sans plus: nous nous attendions à des fonds magnifiques, pleins de coraux et de poissons . Au final, peu de choses à voir du moins en snorkeling car les fonds sont à 25 m. Nous étions avec plusieurs groupes de plongeurs en bouteille et on est passés pour les parents pauvres auxquels on ne fait pas trop attention. C’est dommage , l’équipage n’était vraiment pas sympa.”
