Private Snorkel To Key Largo Reef For Up To 12 - Includes Gear!

Excellent snorkel trip! They have all gear needed and take you to beautiful reefs! They make sure everyone is safe and has a fantastic time. We will definitely book again!

We had a wonderful day snorkeling. They were very accommodating for our 8 month to 80 year old passengers. We saw more fish than on any other snorkel trip we’ve been on and the crew was very knowledgeable. We saw dolphins, harmless sharks, barracuda, large parrot fish, and more!

TEN STARS—and we didn’t leave the dock. Our excellent Captain and his first Mate. Lissa,, thought our safety and great experience were so important, they informed us of the very rough conditions in spite of the beautiful sunny day, and graciously cancelled our trip. We have been out before with private operators who did not do so….so we are very grateful. We say TEN STARS! And the boat is truly easy on—a great ladder that lets you safely and easily enter and exit the water. Thank you!!!! We will definitely book you when we return!!!

Great people that tried hard to make a fun trip. Kept asking if we prefer anything. Had a wonderful time. Wildlife was plentiful, saw a lot. Shark, big barracudas, eel, many lobsters, Jesus, etc.

The captain and first mate where amazing and very knowledgeable about the reefs. The group had an absolute blast and I would highly recommend this for groups

The whole experience was so much fun - I promised my daughter and three of her friends that we would go back to Key Largo and have the same great fun we had in January 2022 with Island Ventures. They did it again! Had a wonderful time, it was hard getting the girls out of the water!! Will this be a yearly stop for us when traveling back to the USA? Probably!

Captains MIke & Karen led us on a fantastic reef snorkel tour. They were timely, friendly and professional, and the aquatic life we saw was stunning - among the highlights for our family was spotting several eagle rays, barracuda, grouper, innumerable corals, schools of sergeant majors, and even a large reef shark! A truly excellent experience.

We went with two families and various levels of snorkeling comfort and Ed and Jerry were great! The boat was also nice and comfortable for the 9 of us. Perfect way to spend an afternoon!

The guides were great and it’s amazing what you see under the water! Would definitely recommend this. A must when visiting the keys.

Very clear water, saw lots of marine life, comfortable boat, great experience! Sergeant major fish, eagle rays, barracudas and lots more. Beautiful reef.

Very professional and knowledgeable. Safety oriented. Could only be improved by having cushions on the benches where the guests sit

Water was choppy but the experience was great. Capitan Wolf and Carrie were very helpful and informative

Great time, Captain Ed and Marcy were informative and entertaining. We saw some beautiful fish , got face to face with giant parrot fish (beautiful colors) and swam through schools of other fish. Really fun trip and definitely recommend this if you enjoy snorkeling. Would go again if in the area!

Took college students on a recreational trip. Very safe, fun experience with Captain Ed and Marci!! We will be going back soon!

Had a very nice time. Had a few newbies in the group and Ed and Mike were great getting them acclimated. Didn’t see as much wildlife as hoped (no turtles or octopi or other unusual ones) just mostly colorful fish. Trip was a bit pricey and the forms were a bit strongly worded. But overall we enjoyed our experience.

We brought 5 divers and 4 snorkelers to Island Ventures while we were on a trip to Marine Lab. The staff were knowledgeable and helpful as 2 students were on their first dives outside of training dives. The reef was beautiful and we say amazing wildlife.

We had an amazing time with Captain Ed and Carrie! They were super accommodating and helped one of our members when she got seasick. We saw amazing coral and a couple nurse sharks. Would definitely recommend, one of the best private snorkel tours I’ve been on!

We cringed at the tourist filled tour boats we saw. This was so much better and reasonably priced. Captain Ed and Will were really fun. Will was really knowledgeable and great. Captain Ed was just straight up fun to be around. It was completely at our speed and timing. Fantastic for first time snorkelers. Way better than a huge group that could care less about you or your kids.

We had such an amazing experience. Booking a private charter is truly the only way to go as the experience is then truly tailored to your group. The crew were extremely professional, caring and kind to my family and very experiences. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful 1/2 day with Wolfman and Carrie (I think... sorry if I got your name wrong. They are very knowledgeable about about the reef and accommodating to all our requests. Absolute perfect day on and in the water. Anne R.

We had a great time snorkeling. We were celebrating my son's birthday with family and his friends (teens). We did the morning private charter, everything went perfect, easy booking process, everything was ready at arrival, the boat was comfortable and clean and the crew was very helpful.

What a spectacular experience! Michael and Carrie took us to three special spots for snorkeling during our half day charter and all were better than expected! What a gift to experience the beauty of the Florida Keys in this way!

Outstanding customer service! We had a group of seven and the owners took time to return my calls and answer my questions ahead of time. We brought our own cooler with snacks and drinks although they do have water on board for you. The crew did a great job finding spots for us to snorkel and were very respectful of the reef. On the return trip we had a hat fly off and they even turned back to get it. Thanks for jumping in the water Cary!

We had a great time snorkeling with Island Ventures. They were very helpful in getting us to the best spots and assisting the kids. Will our first mate was very helpful.

The comfort and undivided attention of snorkeling on your own under guidance. I loved the experience, would do it again.

I had the best snorkeling experience of my life with Island Ventures. Having a private boat is worth it, I was able to feel comfortable and to be able to follow our snorkeling person to the reefs and coral life. An excellent 2 hour adventure, swimming with a turtle and the various sealife. A big thank to captain Ed and Willie. From veena

We had a great experience with Captain Wolfman! We went to two beautiful reefs and he and his first mate were very helpful and encouraging. The boat is large with plenty of room to bring snacks and a cooler. It was awesome to be the only family on the boat and be able to switch spots when we were ready.

Will and Joe I believe were amazing. My friend was in tears facing her fear of the water and Will sat down and chatted with her to help her feel better and the boat driver coached her through the whole thing. They took us to several spots and showed us where to find the good stuff. My friends and I had never snorkeled before and this was an amazing experience.

Wonderful experience for the whole family!! I highly recommend Captain Ed & Will!! Anyone with them will not be disappointed!!

From the moment of my initial contact through the end of our dive day we had the absolute best experience. Everyone was so kind and knowledgeable. The day of our dive the weather was not ideal but we were still able to go. The captain got us where we wanted to go and explained the water conditions and what to expect very thoroughly. For our second stop, we were recommended a spot that we could snorkel at that we would never even have thought of on our own! The water conditions made one of our group members very sick so we weren’t sure we would even be able to snorkel at all, but thanks to the captains recommendation for our second location we got to a spot that was better for us as a whole and some of our group were even able to see a shark! Highly recommend and we will absolutely call Island Ventures when we come back to the Keys! Thanks for a great experience!

Big thank you to Captain Ed and our first mate Ron! Thank you for the memorable experience. Ed and Ron did a great job of accommodating and assisting us on our adventure. Highly recommend Island Ventures for your snorkeling experience while in the Keys!

Awesome trip with family and kids to the reef. Ed and Marcy were great guides. We had another snorkel place cancel on us and Island Venture was very good about accommodating us. Will do again when we return

My son and I booked our trip for three days of diving: one full day and two half-days! Then... Hurricane Elsa! Michael kept me in the loop regarding their safety decisions, informed me the best he could of the conditions and helped us regroup. The result? One half-day during the hurricane, and one full day! He even accommodated the fact that we had to rush the full day due to a scheduled phone interview! So, we did the full day with lunch on board, four in a row! W.O.W.!! Make sure to pay attention to Captain Ed! He's hilarious and very informative regarding all the reef dives! His professionalism extends from boating, diving, cooking, instructing, conversationalist and so much more! And, if you are a sporadic diver (or directionally challenged like me), I highly recommend you have one of their guides with you, Marcy was fantastic! She took us through the sites efficiently and enjoyably. We can't wait to book our next trip with Island Ventures, but not during hurricane season.

There were 8 of us. Every single one of us had an excellent experience. The crew were awesome, a few of us felt a little queasy and they were so kind about it. They have so much knowledge about the reefs and all of the fish. Most of us were new to snorkeling, they really explained how everything works and what we should look for. The crew made so much effort to make sure we had a great time! 100% would snorkel with them again!! So relaxed and easy to talk to.

The calm waters they found after Elsa was great the fish on the reef were fantastic . We did have a little problem with the confirmed reservation but they worked it out. It was a little stressful for a while.

The Captain and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. There were three generations on board; they made everyone feel comfortable. The equipment was excellent--and clean. Just a wonderful way to explore the reef.

Myself and 4 teenage boys went out for a private snorkel charter. We had a blast. As it was the first time for some, they brought us to a calmer area. Then on to a deeper reef. It was amazing. Great staff. Very polite and helpful.

The crew was nice and helpful. They mentioned that the water was a bit choppy, but the water was actually pretty rough. This made snorkeling very difficult and the visibility poor! My advice is check the wind and weather conditions before you go!

Captain and mate were great. They made sure our trip was safe and fun. I heartily recommend this company.

Captains Ron and Ed did a great job, and the conditions were excellent! The owners were also very friendly and responsive! The water is beautiful, and they were really great about getting us out to the site right away to beat the crowds for the memorial day weekend. Both the owners and the crew were really good about observing whether or not you needed something, and we’re right on top of it! If you go, don’t worry too much about bringing a personal recorder, they have really nice and convenient ones there to rent for the whole trip (maybe call ahead to see if they’re all rented out though). According to them, when you’re done it just sends you a link with all the HD pics/videos!

Excellent snorkel trip. Captain and mate were very friendly and accommodating. We visited north north dry rocks and Grecian rocks

Michael and Carrie were amazing hosts. They were so knowledgeable on all things about the reef. They brought us to the best spot to see all the tropical fish. They made sure we saw Jesus and Carrie even got in to the water to help us when we were having trouble finding him!!! We took the private tour with a family of 10 mixed ages. They were patient and helpful and super efficient. Snorkel equipment was in perfect condition and the noodles were so helpful for a couple of the more mature snorkelers.

Amazing Trip! We were a group of 13 with adults and kids on the private snorkel tour for 4 hours. Captain Ed and Ron were the best at taking us to the best snorkeling spots. They were both knowledgeable, courteous and helpful. We were taken to 2 snorkeling spots and although the weather started to deteriorate later in the evening we were able to still snorkel at the 2nd location. I enjoyed having the boat to ourselves, and we were able to bring our cooler with drinks and snacks for the kids. Great Trip, and we will definitely be doing it again!

Excellent service. Very knowledgeable. Provided everything we needed for a wonderful experience Perfect private trip for our family only

Mike, the owner (and his assistant Carrie) took my family of 5 out to one of the reefs and to Christ of the Deep. It was excellent. They are so friendly and helpful and very concerned about safety. Some of our family had not snorkeled before and they were very patient and gave us lot of tips about snorkeling. They were genuinely concerned we had a good time and were able to lots of fish! I highly recommend the 1/2 day private trip for one family or two, because you get a lot of time snorkeling and if you do not want to snorkel, you can just sit on the boat and look at the gorgeous scenery! Carrie has a lot of experience diving and also living in the Keys, so she can recommend great places to snorkel and sightsee. I would definitely book with them again.

We took a private charter for our group of 11 on 12/16/20. It was nice to have the boat to ourselves and was cost effective when splitting the cost. It was a 4 hour tour where most others I looked at were only 2-3 hours at the same cost or more per person. We snorkeled 2 different sites. The first site was more calm and we saw small fish and small reef formations. We then moved to another location and the captain promised it was a different experience. I was skeptical because we didn't move far from our first location. He was right!!! The reef formations and fish were bigger and better. We saw huge fish and large amounts of different species. BEST SNORKEL EVER!! We have snorkeled all over the Caribbean and never saw the amazing things we saw at this reef. I wish I would have caught the name of the reef so I could be more specific. It was really choppy that day and had to fight the currents but it was worth it. Our group would recommend this trip to anyone wanting a great experience.

I’ve been to the keys a few times but I don’t think I’ve ever had a more friendly, knowledgeable and professional group of people. I’ve done a few around the world as well and they were a notch above. Highly recommend.

Fantastic time facilitated by a knowledgeable, accommodating and friendly crew! I would 100% recommend Island Ventures for a great day on the reef. We are novices at snorkeling and were given great instruction, information, support and guidance. Well done IV!
