Fort Lauderdale: Small-group Snorkeling Tour With Refreshments

This was such an amazing experience. Our guides were the coolest people and we enjoyed chatting with them after. We got to see a sea turtle and tons of cool fish. Would totally recommend to anyone even remotely interested. So worth the price for the experience.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish! We booked our trip, and Camila reached out the night before to let us know that the weather was expected to be bad. She recommended that we consider moving our trip to the following day, while also letting us know she would text us the next morning to confirm the weather. That kind of communication and customer service really stood out to us! Everything worked out perfectly, and we had an incredible trip. Our guide was fantastic — very friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and especially reassuring to some of us who were less experienced swimmers. He made everyone feel comfortable and helped us truly enjoy the experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Great communication, great people, and an unforgettable trip. We would 100% recommend them to any family or group and would absolutely book with them again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It is a shore dive into an area that is full of marine life to see. You are shown how to snorkel and use the gear so it is very beginner friendly. The owners are also kind and friendly!

Absolutely incredible experience. The crew was amazing — friendly, professional, and they made sure everyone felt comfortable in the water. The reef was full of life and we saw so many fish. Snacks and drinks were a nice touch. Highly recommend!

Wonderful experience Camila and Thiago are super! It was the perfect day thanks to them!

While Tiago and Camilla were both lovely, we drove 40 minutes from our hotel to Dania Beach and were told when we arrived that the water was too rough for snorkeling and our options were to book another day or take a kayaking ride instead. I think it should be emphasized that the weather impact on ability to snorkel cannot be confirmed until pretty much the last minute. I wish we’d been notified earlier in the morning that the weather conditions were not going to permit our excursion rather than being informed upon arrival. It was nice to have a private kayaking guide but due to the heat and low tide, it wasn’t the best conditions for that activity either. All in all it just wasn’t the day we had envisioned/looked forward to.

We had a great experience. Definitely read the description and make sure you can swim, you do swim a ways but have a life jacket. We saw a lot of beautiful tropical fish and the water was beautiful . Our tour guide was so kind and did a ton of education up front to make sure everyone was sucessful

Great people, just a bit expensive for what you’re actually doing. For $180 bucks, so many more options. Could buy the snorkel gear for that price

While beach was under “red Flag “ for swimming, our guide offered either to reschedule or mangrove paddle boarding. We chose paddle boarding and had an amazing time, definitely recommend those guides, very friendly and thoughtful! Also, had fresh fruit and drinks available.

Amazing snorkeling experience! Our host was so friendly and patient, taking the time to teach us how to snorkel and making sure everyone felt comfortable. We saw so many different kinds of fish, and everything was well organized. The fresh bananas, ice-cold watermelon, and drinks after snorkeling were such a thoughtful touch. Highly recommend!

It was easy. It was enjoyable. The guides were friendly and helpful. They provided snorkeling equipment. They explained everything we needed to know about the snorkeling experience. They provided snacks and drinks afterwards. I was very pleased with the entire trip.

We had an amazing experience. Me and my daughter loved every second of it. Not only did we see so many different fish, our guide was so friendly and welcoming. I would definitely recommend doing this experience and if we could do it again we would!

We did the snorkeling experience with Rio Santos and it was beyond amazing. It was just Our family of 3 for the tour and it was so personal and comfortable. The guide and his wife were amazing at explaining and making us comfortable, and they even had fruit, cannolis, and drinks for us when the snorkeling was over. We even get the go pro footage and a polaroid picture for free after the tour. They were amazing people and i cannot recommend them enough. Best Experience.

I had an incredible experience with the Ocean Reef Snorkeling Tour in Dania Beach. I went with a friend, and from the moment we arrived, Camila and her husband Thiago made us feel welcome and completely taken care of. As a divemaster, I’ve been on plenty of tours, but their passion and professionalism truly stood out. Thiago guided us through beautiful coral formations, schools of fish, and even a stunning 5‑foot reef shark gliding peacefully along the reef. It was one of those moments you don’t forget. This young couple runs their operation with genuine love for the ocean and for their guests, and it shows in every detail. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a safe, memorable, and truly special snorkeling experience.

My daughter and I were in town for her national karate championship and we were looking for something fun to do afterwards. We were so excited to come across this wonderful snorkeling experience. Camila communicated, wonderfully with us telling us exactly how to get to the venue and also how to use the snorkeling gear. Her partner and guide was also amazing and so very patient with my daughter and with me (as I got seasick and didn’t expect it), and yet even though I finished my experience early, he was wonderful taking my daughter out and making sure she had the best time! The sand was too hot for our northwestern American, tender feet and our guide was kind enough to make a path for us that was cooler in order to get to the ocean comfortably without our sandals. We saw parrot fish, a stingray, and some coral. We will be telling all our friends who will be coming back next year about the experience so that they, too, can enjoy it. They offered fresh cantaloupe and bananas and brownies as a snack with water and/or soda of your choice. Happy snorkeling!

The tour guide was very nice and professional. We got to see a lot of interesting things. It was a very nice experience.

Super fun! They provided everything you need other than yourself. They thoroughly explained everything you needed to know about the equipment and safety as well. Snacks and drinks were provided too! We saw plenty of diverse and interesting sea life while swimming out from the shore. They also took photos and videos to take home for free, which I haven't seen before.

Super fun, saw a lot of different kinds of sea life. Sting ray, pufferfish, clown fish, angel fish, eels, and many more. Be prepared to put belongings in your car or their car. Snacks were super good and the guides were friendly. Definitely worth the money.

Camila and Thiago were fantastic! Great communication and they were very friendly and fun to talk to.

Thiago and Camila are awesome! We went to snorkeling in dania-beach. They take good care of everything very professional. They provide all the equipment for you ,so you can go and enjoy your adventure. Recommended 💯.

This was epic!!! From the time we arrived to getting in the water and swimming out on the reef! The sea life was beautiful, tour guide awesome! My daughter and I recommend doing the 8am snorkel tour, the Sun beaming down into the ocean and on the sea life was such an unforgettable memory! Thank you. Ken and daughter Noelle.

Super fun/unique experience! Guides were very kind/thorough. However, important to leave valuables in your car and be smart about hiding your keys because sometimes people will steal your stuff!

We had a wonderful time snorkeling around the man-made reefs by Dania Beach. Even my 73 year old mom did it! Thiago took extra care for her, and Camila was the sweetest, even gave us a Polaroid for the memory. Very casual, perfect way to just get out and enjoy a couple hours snorkeling around.

The instructors were so kind and helpful in the learning process. We are first time snorklers and felt very comfortable and confident

This was hands down one of the highlights of our trip! Thiago and Camila delivered an incredible snorkeling experience. They were welcoming, professional, and very knowledgeable about the area. The briefing was thorough and made us feel confident before heading out. The water was clear, the reef was stunning, and we loved that they captured GoPro footage so we could relive the experience later. Everything felt well organized, safe, relaxed, and fun. If you’re looking for a top-quality snorkeling tour that truly creates “Salty Memories,” this is it. We will absolutely book again next time we’re in town!

We almost didn’t book this tour last minute, and I’m SO glad we did. From the second we arrived, everything felt welcoming and easy. The team clearly knows what they’re doing. They are super organized, confident, and attentive without being too much. Once we got in the water, it was like stepping into another world. The visibility was amazing and there was marine life everywhere you looked. It felt adventurous but still very safe the entire time. This wasn’t just a tour. It felt like a real experience. Definitely worth it and something we’ll always remember.

We had the best time snorkeling! From the moment we arrived, everything was organized and professional. The guides gave very clear safety instructions and made sure everyone felt comfortable before getting in the water. The equipment was high quality and well maintained, which made a huge difference. The ocean conditions were beautiful that day and we saw so much marine life! What really stood out was how attentive and patient the team was, especially with the kids in our group. They made it fun while still prioritizing safety. You can tell they truly care about giving guests an amazing experience. Highly recommend if you want a safe, fun, and memorable snorkeling tour!

Absolutely amazing experience! The water was gorgeous, we saw so many fish, and the energy from the hosts made it even more fun. Everything felt smooth, safe, and exciting the whole time. And just when we thought it couldn’t get better, we spotted a sea turtle at the end! 🐢 It was the perfect way to finish an unforgettable tour. We’d 100% do this again!

If I could rate this experience 0 stars I would. Me and my daughter were looking for a fun activity to do as we NEVER go on vacation. I took a risk as they only had 3 reviews, expecting some sort of professionalism. The wife Camilla was very nice and helped us with parking and holding our items that we couldn’t take with us. The tour started explaining how to use the snorkeling equipment, as they stated the life vest were more for “decoration” and didn’t recommend inflating them, which this definitely made me raise an eye. We started in the ocean at hip length for about 3 minutes just practicing and getting comfortable. After that the group toke off ( not staying together ) and left my daughter behind, if i wasn’t there I don’t know what could have happened to her. I eventually caught up to her and she was choking and inhaling so much water. We decided it was time to leave, as we were grabbing our things from Camila she definitely showed compassion and sorrow unlike the husband. Camilla stated she would refund us if we wanted that, nor did we ask for a refund. After only spending 10 minutes in the water with snorkeling gear you could purchase from Walmart for probably 25$, we realized this was NOT worth $150. So we kindly reached back out about the refund we were promised. As the husband answered the phone he gave me a horrible attitude saying his wife never said that and she was forced to say that. Mind you the husband wasn’t even there so hear what the wife said. We still haven’t received a refund complete waste of time. DO NOT GO HERE!!!

It was a great experience and a beautiful day. We are very pleased with the people that helped us...

Camilla and Tiago were so amazing and patient with us. They provided great instructions and guidance as we toured the reef and mangroves. I would 100% book again.

Genuinely one of the BEST experiences I have ever had. The snorkeling was incredible, saw so much aquatic life & there was even a little reef shark ! As well as, the kayaking portion was very special too. Saw more fish, birds, and the mangroves in general were beautiful. But nothing tops our tour guides. They treated us like apart of their own family, they were so patient, kind and educational. I would HIGHLY recommend booking this experience and I would do it again! Thank you again!!
