Additional Information
Nowhere in North America will you find better snorkeling than in Islamorada and Key Largo, Florida! The Upper Florida Keys boast the unique distinction of being home to the only living coral reef in the United States. Conveniently, two incredible reefs are located just a short distance from our starting point for the all-inclusive Islamorada Snorkel Tour, available as a Half-Day or Full-Day adventure.
Most of the year, the water surrounding the reefs is pleasantly warm and crystal clear. These reefs are home to hundreds of varieties of coral and fish. While the popular tourist snorkeling spots are amazing, the lesser-known local favorites are even more spectacular.
Booking a breathtaking snorkeling tour with Island Adventures means you have the freedom to choose how long you spend at each snorkeling location. Plus, a local Captain, who is also your tour guide, will assist with identifying fish and coral.
Island Adventures tailors each snorkeling journey to your preferences and the current weather conditions. This could involve venturing to a less frequented reef or providing a detailed tour of the diverse sea life and stunning coral reefs for your loved ones or guests.
Guests are welcome to capture memories by taking photos while feeding the abundant reef fish. It’s common to spot small sharks, barracudas, moray eels, turtles, eagle rays, and many more species.
We provide professional snorkeling equipment, including masks, snorkels, and fins, for up to six adult guests during the Islamorada Snorkel Tour. Children and beginners can also enjoy snorkeling at the Islamorada sandbar, where the water is shallow and tranquil.
Although there is no living coral at the sandbar, snorkelers may come across harmless stingrays, blue crabs, spider crabs, cowfish, shells, and hermit crabs in the clear, sandy-bottomed water. This makes the sandbar the ultimate destination in the entire Florida Keys. We look forward to hosting you for an extraordinary day on our Islamorada Snorkel Tour.
