Snorkel Trip

Come out on the Bug and experience a day exploring the beautiful waters around Islamorada.

We have some incredible snorkeling spots around Islamorada. We have Alligator lighthouse – an amazing snorkel spot in 15-18 feet with lots of fish to see and very clear water. Two more spots include Hens & Chickens and Chica Rocks – both are nice shallow reefs for snorkeling. These are less than 10 foot with lots of shallow rocks and coral with small reef fish species.

With special planning we can head to the Christ of the Abyss statue. This is a very special spot on a deeper reef and a prime snorkeling spot. This would be a longer, custom trip as its a 20 mile run up to Key Largo.

While in season, we can also target lobsters (August 6 – March 31st). I have all the licensing needed. We can get these lobsters even as shallow as 5-10 feet and it is a fantastic activity for the family!

If you have any specific gear you want to bring you are more than happy to, I will have everything for guests except for wetsuits.
