Itinerary
After check-in, the Tiger Cat will cruise through Key West harbor on the way to the Key West National Wildlife Refuge. Here guests will see numerous sharks and a variety of wildlife including dolphin.
Travel through shallow water close to mangrove islands as you make your way about 4 miles (6.4 km) away from shore to the shark viewing site. Along the way, keep your eyes open for dolphin, sea turtles, stingrays, barracudas, tarpon and an array of native birds. Listen to your experienced pilot discuss the delicate ecosystem of this area and its abundance of wildlife. Enjoy complimentary water, soda, juice — as well as the use of polarized sunglasses — during your trip. When you arrive at the shark destination, get ready for an unforgettable experience! Your pilot will use bait to draw a host of sharks that swim right up to the boat so you and your family can observe them in safety and comfort. See numerous lemon and nurse sharks, and watch out for bull, black tip and hammerhead sharks during nearly one hour of shark viewing. Capture dramatic photos you can't wait to share with family and friends.

We had the best day! We saw so many sharks and it’s crazy how close they come to the boat. The guys leading the tour filled us with information and were cracking jokes the whole time they were fab, making full effort to make sure we had the best experience! Cannot recommend enough, such an unreal trip!
Fantastic 2 hour tour with the really friendly/funny Captain Clay and Captain Tanner who were knowledgeable about the sharks and clearly cared about their well being. Also got very lucky to see a sea turtle! Would highly recommend.
Excellent experience. We love how educational the tour was. The crew was knowledgeable and you can see how much they love their job and nature. The sharks were amazing and we saw dolphins too. Highly recommend!
Exiting and fun, would definitely recommend to others who plan to come to Key West. Staff are nice and patient
Crew was very professional, informative and funny. Amazing views of sharks with everyone given the opportunity to see and take pics.
Amazing! Captain Clay, Tanner, and the OG of this small family business focused the tour on our experience, safety, and care for the sharks. The symbiotic relationship with the sharks developed over 17 years of offering ‘snacks’ to the sharks is impressive to experience. They have named the regular sharks who anticipate the boat coming to the same anchor point. Result is an up-close opportunity to see the sharks and learn so much about them. Really appreciated the educational information provided in a way we could relate. The analogies with the “ATM” and “McDonalds” made the info easy to understand! HIGHLY Recommend!
This was a very entertaining activity for our first visit to Key West. Captain Matt and his sidekick were very humorous and had a great connection! All in all, a very fun 2 hour connection.
Don’t hesitate to book this trip. It was the best thing we did in Key West. Tanner, Clay & Ken were SO informative. We learned so much about sharks, dolphins & ocean life.
This was the best time on the water! So much great information and views! The lemon sharks are so close and beautiful to watch and got to see dolphins in the wild. Bring cash to tip the crew, worth every penny...
Brilliant tour and super freindly hosts. They really did look after us and did not leave the tour dissapointed. Thank you.
Very enjoyable experience on the water feeding lemon sharks. Captain explained a lot about sharks behaviors during the trip. So it was an educational experience as well as entertaining. Definitely recommend!
Captain and First Mate very knowledgeable. You’ll likely get wet and it can be windy so come prepared.
We went about a mile and then fed the sharks. Captain knew lots of facts. Then we travelled where there was a pod of 20-30 dolphins. Boat was not crowded. Water and soft drinks were provided. Beautiful weather. Enjoyed this excursion.
Get ready to see lots of sharks in action! The Dolphins were also awesome and they were not far from the shark experience. Highly recommend this too every traveler to make this a must do in the keys.
Excellent people to deal with . Loaded with knowledge of sharks and dolphins along with surrounding areas. Will do again
Very cool experience! Got to see Lemon sharks and they even let you feed them.
Such a fun and easy experience! The guides were funny and personable, while also ensuring safety. The shark feed and dolphin viewing was so awesome and beautiful. Had an amazing time - and even let my daughter throw a fish tail in for the sharks! Great experience for all ages and accessible for all!
Absolutely fantastic. We took our 10 and 8 year old. They loved it as did we. Normally I get motion sickness and I wasn’t sick at all. It was a great family experience. Well worth the money.
It was awsooooome!!!!! We saw the sharks and watched them devour the bait for like half an hour, amazing close up view, perfect perfect oerfect! Then we went searching for dolphins wich were hard to find but we did get to watch them finally, that was equally as impressive and gorgeous, altho not from insanely close up, it was gorgeous tho!!!!!! Waters were a beautiful turquoise, we had unlimited complementary drinks, guides were informative, friendly, and just great!!!!!! best experience i recommend it 100%!!!!!!!!
Great experience ! Clay and Tanner were very knowledgeable with great senses of humor. We saw sharks and dolphin as well. Highly recommend this tour.
Great experience! Everyone was so nice and we saw so many sharks!!! It is also very safe
Amazing one of a kind experience!!! 😃
The sharks were awesome! Captain and mate are very knowledgeable on the seas and it’s sea life. It was also a lovely ride. You will see sharks! Oh yeah and dolphins.
My wife spoiled me with a Shark excursion. Our Capts were excellent. Really good with kids. Learned a lot about Lemon Sharks. Dolphins and Sea Turtles were fun to watch. Very nice boat ride out and back. Very professional, fun, and informative.
It was truly amazing. Saw about 15 lemon sharks and got to feed one and we were so close to them and just incredible to watch them in their natural habitat. Went out also and saw several packs of dolphins up close too. The skipper and his mate were top notch and so friendly and knowledgeable. For sure a must do
The guides were on time, very knowledgeable and funny. We would recommend this tour for anyone with a love for sharks.
Guides engaging & personable. Trip length was just right. Well organized and comfortable boat. Animal life delightful. Perfect family experience.
One of the most amazing tours that my wife and I ever taken. Matt and Tanner were both very friendly and welcoming and funny. With lots of knowledge and experience.
Had such a blast! The guides were knowledgeable and very nice.
The experience was great! The captain and his assistant was very knowledgeable and kind.
Super awesome experience! Got to see so many lemon sharks and bottle nose dolphins! Would definitely go again!
Make sure you bring some sunscreen and dramamine if you get motion sickness. The captains of the vessel are outstanding and they make sure that everyone gets a chance to see the sharks and dolphins. If I could give them six out of five stars, I would. if you’re looking for a tranquil and fun wildlife tour this is it.
Captains were great, saw lots of lemon sharks and a couple of dolphin pods, definitely recommend this!
Great day amazing shark feeding and lovely cruise
The tour guide was very informative we got to see a lot of sharks.. Great pictures he ensured everyone had an opportunity to get to see the action.. I would definitely recommend.
It was amazing! The captains were super lively and made the experience. We got to see plenty of sharks close up and they even let you feed it. 100% would book again!
It was terrific. We saw a lot of sharks and the captain provided great information about the sharks while feeding them. We didn't see any dolphins, so choose this tour for the shark feeding.
Captains were fantastic and excellent with those in attendance. They were very attentive and interacted with everyone.
This was a very cool tour. Tanner and Matt were amazing guides; friendly, informative and conscientious of our experience. They made sure we all had a chance to get great views and pictures of the Sharks. We didn’t see any other sea life but that’s ok because we had an awesome ride on the boat looking for dolphins. Free beverages and detailed answers to any questions we had. Thanks for a great morning!
Highlight of our trip, beautiful boat trip across turquoise waters. We saw so many lemon sharks and bottle nose dolphins, a few loggerhead turtles too. Family run business, extremely informative and friendly. We have travelled from the UK and this will be a memory that will last a lifetime - thank you!
AMAZING ADVENTURE!!!! DO NOT MISS THIS TOUR!!! Incredible opportunity to view sharks, hear the facts, and dismiss a few myths about these beautiful creatures. The crew was very informative, educational, and funny! They really got the kids involved and made certain EVERYONE had an opportunity to see the sharks and take photos! Very easy to work with and well worth the cost! Very clean boat and offered water to stay hydrated, mindful of size of group to accommodate everyone! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Very unique tour! Great for families! Thanks for an amazing experience!
It was the highlight of our trip! The guides Matt and Clay were so knowledgeable. They engaged with the tourists and were very funny and personable. We saw sharks and dolphins as promised. It was a very enjoyable time! Highly recommended. K Bourbeau
Great trip, hosts fabulous - would recommend
This was amazing! One of the best experiences we had with our family in all of the Keys (and we have traveled all they way from Key Large to Key West multiple times). Super friendly and knowledgeable crew, and amazing shark action. They ensure everyone on the boat has a front row seat and an amazing experience. They made sure we saw a pod of dolphins on the way back as well.
A great experience from start to finish! these guys are incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining. The best experience I had in key west. After the shark feeding we went further out and spent time dolphin watching. The boat was clean and well kept definitely will be going out again with these guys!
Great family trip. Fun and good to see sharks and dolphins. Friendly service. Would definitely recommend.
Went with two kids ( 10 and 8) and husband. The ride was beautiful and the captains were fun and interesting. Got us right to the sharks where they started feeding them. Was amazing. Kids were able to feed the sharks too. Everyone on the boat loved this experience. On way back we got to see dolphins. There needs to be a way to give this experience more stars!!!
We had a wonderful time! We saw a dolphin mom and her calf then saw so many sharks. It was really incredible to see them in their natural habitat and so close. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and really taught us so much about the animals and Key West.
Great experience, GUARANTEED shark viewing in their natural habitat, knowledgeable guides! Highly recommended
