Explore the Underwater Beauty of the Florida Keys

If you're planning a trip to Key West and looking for a fun and exciting activity to do, snorkeling is a must-try experience. With crystal-clear waters and an abundance of marine life, Key West is the perfect destination for snorkeling enthusiasts. There are several options available for snorkeling day trips, and here are some of the best ones you can book through Key West Sightseeing.

Snorkel the Reefs on a Glass Bottom Boat

If you're not comfortable with diving or snorkeling in deep waters, a glass bottom boat tour is an excellent option. You can sit back and relax as the boat takes you over the colorful coral reefs and see the underwater world through the glass bottom. This tour is perfect for families with young children or anyone who wants to enjoy the beauty of the reefs without getting wet.

Snorkel at the Looe Key Reef

The Looe Key Reef is one of the most popular snorkeling destinations in the Florida Keys, and for good reason. It is home to a diverse array of marine life, including sea turtles, colorful fish, and even the occasional reef shark. The reef is located about 20 miles off the coast of Key West, and you can join a tour that includes snorkeling equipment, lunch, and drinks.

Snorkel and Sail to the Living Coral Reef

For a more adventurous and unique snorkeling experience, consider a snorkeling and sailing tour to the Living Coral Reef. This tour will take you to the only living coral reef in North America, which is located in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. You'll get to snorkel in crystal-clear waters, and learn about the marine life from a knowledgeable guide. Plus, the tour includes lunch and drinks, making it a perfect way to spend a day out on the water.

Snorkel the Vandenberg Wreck

If you're a more experienced snorkeler or want to try something new, the Vandenberg Wreck is a must-see destination. The USS General Hoyt S. Vandenberg was intentionally sunk in 2009, and it has since become an artificial reef and a popular snorkeling and diving spot. The ship is located about 7 miles off the coast of Key West, and you can join a snorkeling tour that includes equipment and a knowledgeable guide.



Key West is a paradise for snorkeling enthusiasts, and there are plenty of day trips available to explore the beauty of the underwater world. Whether you're snorkeling over colorful reefs, exploring a living coral reef, or swimming around a sunken ship, you'll be sure to have an unforgettable experience. Book your snorkeling day trip through Key West Sightseeing and get ready for a fun-filled adventure in the Florida Keys.
