Absolutely loved the Reef dives. Everyone at Lost Reef Adventures were very professional, the captains, the dive Masters and the store staff. I definitely recommend them and I will absolutely be back.

We originally booked a different tour that canceled on us less than 24-hours before the tour and found this gem! The crew was super friendly and knowledgeable! We went to two amazing dive spots with tons of reef life for free diving. The scuba divers seemed to also enjoy it as did the beginners. If you want a true diving/snorkeling experience without the drinks and booze cruise, this is your boat! The small group made it enjoyable without the crowds and allowed space from other passengers.
We actually didn't get to go out with them sour family was the only one signed up. But they stayed in contact with us and made arrangements for us to get on a neighboring boat. We had a great time!
Great Experience. Very nice people and great sites for diving. Second time diving with them and it will not be de last one.
Our group was getting back into diving after many years off. I had a bit of trouble getting my gear set up, since the several pieces were brand new. When I jumped in my mask was too loose and my tank wasn't fully secured... the crew was right there to help me and get me secured and comfortable. They calmed me downand I got back in the water for to complete the dive. The weather was good, the seas were basically calm. That's nothing the dive shop has influence over 😉😊, but it was great for our experience. The fees were reasonable - don't overlook adding tanks to your order if you don't bring your own. But I can't stress that the Crew helped me so much on my 1st dive back after so many years. I'd done with Lost Reef Adventures again and I recommend them!
Booked a 2 tank dive with Nick coming off a cruise ship. These guys are very professional and even worked with us not being able to get off the boat until 9 15 local time. Will definitely book again the next time we are in Key West.
It was my first time snorkeling, and I am so glad we picked a small group tour. The crew was so friendly and helpful. I'm thankful for the tips tricks and techniques. Being out with a mixed scuba/snorkeling group was inspiring.
The operator cancelled on us 15 minutes before the tour was to start after we had booked weeks in advance for a “small” snorkel tour. The operator told us he didn’t have a minimum amount of attendees for the trip. Don’t offer a “small” tour and maybe you could tell people more than 10 minutes in advance.
This trip was so awesome! Our crew consisted of Kelly and Chris. they were awesome, very knowledgeable, and very, very pleasant to be with share our experience! We saw a mini fish. We saw a very different corals and being that it was a small group of us on this It was just so awesome. We felt like we had a private charter! If you’re debating about going snorkeling, please call lost reef thank you.
The Lost reef team really made our trip special. They were not just “all about the money” they even threw in a few wetsuits to make sure we were not cold and enjoyed our snorkelling trip. The reefs were teaming with fish and we managed to snorkel for two hours because the two reefs were close together.
Unfortunately, the provider experienced crew issues and our excursion was canceled the morning we were scheduled to attend. They did work with us to quickly issue a refund. They also offered a different day for the excursion; however, we could not utilize since we were leaving for home on the day offered.
Excellent value for money. Small group. Two reef stops. Clear water, plenty of fish to see. If you want to snorkel Key West, these are good folks to go with.
This was great!! The skipper and dive instructor were super knowledgeable. Farrell and Robin were great to explain snorkeling to my teenagers that were first timers. And to tell us some fun stories and history about Key West. 100% recommend!!
Small group experience. Late start and combined with scuba diving. Good people to share the experience with. Reef was murky, but lots of great fish spotted. Large parrot fish, reef shark, and several barracuda were among the highlights.
Took my 14 year old grandson for his first ocean dive. It was a perfect place for a beginner The crew was very helpful. 30 feet lots of fish. We arrived on a cruise ship and had a mix up on the arrival time. We were supposed to arrive at 8am but we were on ship time which was actually 9am Key West time. The dive shop waited for us which we really appreciated
It was awesome well worth the money and the captain and 1st mate were very accommodating and great !!
These folks were awesome. They were so helpful in accommodating my wife and daughter to snorkle as I dove. It was a true dive shop. No frills just laid back and geared towards enjoying the sport. The reef dive was great. You can actually zigzag between the reef.
So much fun, lots of fun information aswell as the tour. The tour guide was so much fun and interacted a lot with the people
This was my 7 yr old grandsons first snorkel trip and he had a fantastic time. They fitted us with great snorkel gear including a wetsuit just his size. The took us to a great location the perfect depth and made the boat easy to enter the water. They took time to go over his gear with him and while I was swimming with him I could see one of the crew keeping constant watch over all the people on the water. Also I had great fins which I can not say about the next place we went.
Very friendly and professional staff, they made my 11 year old feel comfortable with his first snorkel adventure
The views were amazing, the crew was fun, patient and knowledgeable, and my boyfriend and I really had a great time. Would definitely recommend and will be booking with them again for a snorkeling adventure. Thank you crew!
Great snorkeling experience, you can see lots of fish and jellyfish on the reef; we saw mostly barracudas. The tour should only be booked by very good swimmers with snorkeling experience. On other snorkeling tours there is always a guide in the water who looks after the swimmers and explains a lot of things. That is not the case here. The crew takes the participants to 2 places in the ocean and then gives them complete freedom. The entire crew stays on board the ship.
This has to be one of, if not THE best dive outfitters in the entire Keys. First, they keep the group of divers small; there's nothing worse than a large group of spazzy unskilled divers. Second, the dive guides are all great divers with great personalities; I often have doubts about the guide's competency with other outfitters, but NOT SO with Lost Reef! Third, they take you to interesting dive sites; it's one thing just to go diving, but it's more important to see interesting stuff under there! Fourth, for those needing to rent gear, Lost Reef has good quality equipment to borrow. Fifth, they keep to the given time schedule; I hate places that either start or end later than planned. Sixth, the price is very fair for what you get! I highly recommend these guys.
The crew were so friendly, considerate, knowledgeable, professional, patient and fun. We enjoyed Snorkeling, talking, listening and everything the entire time.
We had the kids with us, who aren't divers yet, so when our plans to fort Jefferson fell thru because of weather Dave was able to get us on an afternoon snorkel trip. He pick two amazing spots. He had great knowledge of the reefs and where to go and what you could see. I'm looking forward to a future dive with them! Highly recommend. Ask for Dave. Captain Hal was great too!!
The crew was great! However, this is geared more for scuba diving than snorkeling. Could only see a few fish and it is not in any area that is calm waters.
The crew was great and helpful. Have helpful hints and were mindful of older customers. Sites were nice.
Had lots of time in the water ! Almost an hour at each stop. Was like swimming inside an aquarium Many types of healthy looking coral clear water and also saw a few sharks!
The snorkel tour was amazing. We saw many different fishes, turtles and even dolphins. I would book this trip again.
We had a great time diving with Lost Reef. My 2 teenage sons did Discover Scuba for their very fist time diving. The pool instruction was short and easy. Then we did a 2 tank reef dive and it was amazing! Our instructor Holly was very helpful, safe and fun. We returned another day to do 2 more tank dives and my husband and daughter snorkeled. It was fun having our entire family together on the boat doing different things. Lost Reef is organized, safe and fun. The crew was great. We really enjoyed our 2 afternoons with the crew.
My dive with Lost Reef Adventures was awesome. Chris our Captain and his mate did an amazing job. I look forward to diving with them again. They keep everything tip top, safety is a priority and they do everything they can to make your trip enjoyable and memorable.
Lost Reef has the best staff and affordable prices. Very comforting for young first time snorkelers. Absolutely the best!
Three days of diving with Lost Reef Adventures in Key West was a great experience - friendly, helpful, professional, experienced boat & shop staff and crew.
We were rebooked on a dive ship, completely crowded, only places left in the blazing sun. Had paid for a small group! As snorkelers we were “beige vegetables”. Crew was very helpful and friendly. Reef is very badly damaged, hardly any colors, few fish.
