The Florida Keys Reef Is 125 Miles Long. Here's Where to Get In.
Snorkeling here isn't one thing. It runs a whole spectrum, from a calm reef flat where you can stand up and catch your breath to an open-ocean drift where the current does the swimming for you. Pick the wrong trip for your group and that's the mismatch you'll remember. The good part: most operators on this water know what they're doing. The trick is matching the boat to the people you brought.
Robbie's of Islamorada sits about 90 minutes up the road, and it earns the drive for first-timers and families with younger kids. The snorkel trips run off Sundance Watersports out of the marina, and the guides read the room. Somebody's nervous about the mask, they slow the whole thing down. Expect a couple hours in the water on reefs like Cheeca Rocks or Alligator, and figure roughly $60-ish for adults.
SNUBA of Key West fills the gap between snorkeling and scuba. You breathe off a regulator fed from a raft on the surface, drifting around 20 feet down, no certification, no tank on your back. It's the only SNUBA outfit licensed in town, running out of Garrison Bight, and kids as young as 8 can do it. Nice bridge if someone in your crew wants to go deeper than a snorkel allows.
Sebago Watersports is your big-catamaran reef trip. More people aboard, a little less intimate, but it usually costs less and it's a solid catch when the smaller boats are booked out and you're planning last-minute.
