Snorkel Tour - Visit 2 Shallow Reefs John Pennekamp State Park

Captain Aaron and Jolisa were amazing. Guided us well and did a cool Birthday shoutout! Reefs were amazing as well.

Joined a snorkel tour and had a great time, waters were a touch rough at the first spot but Captain Aaron and First Mate Jolessa were very attentive and prepared. Will return next time I am in Key Largo

Excellent excursion with three beautiful snorkel sites. The wooden ship wreck snorkel site is worth all the money the trip costs. Professional staff that is courteous, friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this trip.

Outstanding Diving Experience at Silent World Dive Center My son and I completed a total of 10 dives over three days with Silent World Dive Center, and the experience was outstanding from beginning to end. My son had recently earned his Advanced Open Water certification through Silent World, which made it especially rewarding to return and share this experience together. Our Dive Master/guide, Liam, was exceptional. He was professional, knowledgeable, approachable, and clearly passionate about marine life. His understanding of marine biology added an entirely new dimension to our dives. He took the time to explain the different species of fish and other marine life we encountered, sharing in-depth information that made each dive both educational and enjoyable. What impressed me most was Liam’s attention to detail. He didn't just point out the large, obvious marine life; he also helped us discover the smaller, easily overlooked creatures that made each dive unique. His ability to spot these details and share his knowledge greatly enhanced our overall experience. Liam was easy to get along with, made us feel comfortable throughout our dives, and contributed significantly to making this trip so memorable. Having a Dive Master who combines professionalism, extensive knowledge, and a genuine passion for what he does makes a tremendous difference. We are extremely grateful for the experience and would gladly dive with Liam and Silent World Dive Center again. I highly recommend Silent World to anyone looking for a professional, welcoming, and educational diving experience in Key Largo.

Had an amazing time on this snorkel trip. The staff was amazing. Highly recommend using them for all your snorkeling trip. We had such an amazing time that we booked a different trip for the following day.

Amazing experience! We snorkeled at two amazing sites, saw so many fish and a couple of turtles. It was magical! Captain Jeff and Mike made sure we had everything we needed and took great care of us. Snacks, water, and soda provided. Tip - bring a bottle for water to fill up on board. They have paper cups that get soggy fast. Highly recommend!

Jolisa was an amazing guide! She was attentive and engaging and helpful. She offered up recommendations and took pics for everyone. I would absolutely go back

Couldn't have asked for a better snorkel experience for our family of 5. Loved every minute!!

Awesome experience for first time snorkeling in the ocean. The crew and captain were great. Would recommend this trip to friends.

My family and I visited Key Largo and booked a snorkeling tour with Silent World. From booking to the end of the tour, everything went smoothly. The woman I spoke with on the phone was friendly and helpful, and the location was easy to find. Captain Jeff and Yolissa were great and made us feel comfortable throughout the trip. The snorkeling was beautiful, and my favorite part was being in the warm, blue water. It was one of the highlights of our visit to Key Largo. The boat was clean and comfortable, and having snacks available was a nice touch. Everything was well organized without feeling rushed. Overall, we had a great experience with Silent World and would definitely recommend them to anyone visiting Key Largo. We really enjoyed our time on the water!

The tour was guided by an awesome crew! The reefs were we travel to are almost a guarantee that you will view breathtaking (literally if you dive) corals and sea creatures of all kinds. Safety is their number one priority (they rescued a swimmer from possibly drowning) and the enjoyment of the experience is second! I definitely recommend this adventure if you are in the Key Largo area and/or passing through! 20 thumbs up (if that’s a thing).

Capt. Aaron and Jolisa were amazing guides and operators. The trip was awesome. Check in went smoothly, communications were great. The reef description given before we entered water was spot on and suggested viewing routes well described. Crew was fun, engaging, knowledgeable, and very committed to safety and ensuring a positive experience. Dockside staff was friendly, efficient, and all together, this is an experience I would recommend to both novice and experienced snorkelers. I look forward to returning.

The staff were helpful in accommodating a group of 12. We had nice weather and saw some nice corals and no jellyfish.

This trip was amazing and I highly recommend it! Saw an incredible amount of sea life and the crew was friendly and very entertaining. Will do this again the next time we are in town!

Captian Erin or Aaron was super fun and I her name was Jo Lee or Jo Lin (so sorry lol) was great. They made the trip fun and were very informative about all the marine life. Plus you can't beat the price. 312 for two spots on the reef, free chips and equipment, were as a direct competitor we did the day before was 340 for just one. No snacks. Just saying 👀

Great, fun trip with everything needed included. Tour guide was knowledgeable and took us to the best stops for the conditions on the day. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting and wanting to do some snorkelling

Clean, well run operation. Safety and professonal first ! Also fun. Very well done

Fantastic time out, the ocean was a little rough but the staff made us feel comfortable and safe to still snorkel

Such a fun trip! Beautiful reefs. Aaron & Jolisa were the best-knowledgeable & professional and excellent guides. Highly highly recommend!

Very lovely crew: Aaron and Jolisa were wonderful

This was such a neat experience getting to see the reefs and marine life in their environment. My son was not sure about going but love it and wants to go again. I loved getting the see the sea turtle. My husband enjoyed seeing a squid.

The experience was fun but much more importantly, the service was incredible.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Every time I go out with Silent World, it’s an amazing experience! The captains and crew are always friendly, knowledgeable, respectful, professional, and so much fun to be around. They go above and beyond to make sure every passenger feels safe while also making the trip exciting and enjoyable. Their passion for being on the water really shows, and they take the time to ensure everyone has the best possible experience. Whether it’s your first trip or your tenth, you’ll always be treated with kindness and professionalism. I highly recommend Silent World to anyone looking for a fun, safe, and unforgettable day on the water!

Second time for me in the last 2 weeks. Excellent trip. Captain and first mate were exceptional. Water conditions amazing!

We had a great experience with Captain Jeff and Jolisa on the Calypso. They brought us to two coral reefs and the statue of Christ of the Abyss.

Wonderful trip with Aaron and ashlin (I think I remembered their names right ). They were funny, helpful, and went out of their way for the boat guests. I’ve done many snorkeling trips but this one was the first where they actually defog your mask for you , not once but twice ! Very knowledgeable and had great advice and recommendations for anyone that asked . I would definitely chose them again next time I’m in town !

We as a family enjoyed this medium length and well organized tour very much. There are ample onsite parking spaces and the shop and departure place is at thr same spot. As a snorkeling only tour, we have the max amount of time in water rather than waiting for divers. The length and water depth is just right for us with young children. The captain is knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his job. The crews pay attention to the needs of clients with different level and experience. Snacks and drinks come in handy on a hot day. The reef is beautiful.

Crew was excellent weather was great and the reefs and water were excellent would use them again

The only reason this was not a 5 star is due to minimum sea life. Lots of coral and a few fish but not much.

We had a great time on this snorkel excursion. Our expectations were exceeded in the areas they took us too. Several people did get sea sick on the way out so take the Dramamine before you go out to avoid that issue. Very cool experience!

Our captain and mate were awesome the entire experience. We got an email the night before with a weather advisory about rough water conditions but since no refunds we went anyway. It was rough a lot of people on our tour got sea sick including myself. They really should at least give people a partial refund if choose to not go when there is an advisory. The staff was all great they can’t help the water conditions.

Emily and Aaron or fantastic captains! Water was choppy, but they handled the boat beautifully. Snorkeling was great. Saw tons of fish and barracuda and a stingray. We had about 45 minutes at each stop, which was more than enough time to snorkel the reefs. Provided all of the gear which was great. And water, chips and soda.

I had an amazing experience with Silent World Dive Center! The entire staff was friendly, professional, and made me feel safe and welcome from the moment I arrived. The equipment was in excellent condition, the guides were knowledgeable, and the whole trip was well organized. They truly care about their customers and go above and beyond to make sure everyone has a great time. I highly recommend Silent World Dive Center to anyone looking for an unforgettable diving or snorkeling experience in the Florida Keys. I will definitely be coming back!

We chose the first trip of the day, everybody is fresh, the crew, the passengers. It was choppy but so worth the drive from Kendall!!

Nice trip for families or beginners. Crew was friendly and safety aware. Time was just right. Saw lots of fish and coral.

Capt Brad and Ashlyn were the best! They were very patient with a very rusty snorkeler! They both were very safety conscious and constantly doing head counts to make sure everyone was safe and accounted for. I felt very safe with these very capable people. There were snacks and beverages provided also as well as extra gear in case it was needed. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Thank you Capt Brad and Ashlyn!

Great snorkel trip for first timers and those with experience. We took our two preteens who had never been snorkeling and they had a great time. I checked the weather before booking and ended up picking a great day with optimal visibility and sunny. The captain and crew were funny and entertaining. Everything you need is provided, sunscreen, masks, snorkels, fins and a vest. This trip was the perfect amount of time on the water. We were able to see the statue and plenty of fish at both reefs. I would definitely book with them again.

Great experience with this company. The staff was friendly and informative. Getting the equipment was easy and fast and the mask they gave me was the best I’ve ever had. The two dive locations were amazing. The water was calm and the fish were abundant. We had plenty of time and were never rushed. My daughter needed to change masked several times to get a proper fit and they were very helpful in resolving the issue. Shout out to JoLisa and Captain Jeff. Very professional, helpful and friendly.

I loved this dive and we had no issues throughout the trip. Caesar and Drew were an excellent captain and first mate. Definitely will dive here again.

Friendly staff that did a great job. Michael and Jeff where awesome! They new where to go to keep us away from the rain and the stronger currents.

Wonderful experience! I highly recommend Silent Word Dive Center!! The staff, boats, and equipment were all top notch.

We had a great time on this trip. It was very well organized, they definitely know what theyre doing! Our only critique would be to update their equipment, but other than that, thumbs up!

We enjoyed an absolutely fantastic two reef snorkeling adventure with Aron and Emily aboard the Calypso! Both of them were helpful and cheerful, as was Avery, the dockhand. They all provided the comfortable foundation for our trip. Each reef offered unique sights and a huge array of marine life. A stingray, nurse shark, and veritable conch forest featured among the diverse and abundant marine life. The staff, particularly Emilee and the gift store operator, were also incredibly accommodating both before and after our trip. Everything about this business and it's staff, from the value to the adventure itself, exceeded all expectations. As a Floridian ( local, not native), I will take this trip again and would avidly recommend it to anyone visiting our beautiful waters.

Peofessional people. Great Captain and Crew. Very informative and friendly. Both went out of their way to make sure everyone was safe and felt welcome.

Thanks to the crew for taking us on an unforgettable snorkelling tour . Was a bit apprehensive about this but the crew reassured us in a calming tone what to expect. And we weren’t disappointed Would certainly recommend for an unforgettable day underwater .

Weather made this experience a disaster- never got to see the statue I wanted to see and only saw a few fish. Oh well, nothing anyone can do when mother nature doesn’t play nice

Captain Jeff and Emily were very helpful, we had a great time. We saw loads of fish and the statue.

Amazing experience! Captain Aaron and first mate, Emily made the trip! Would 💯 recommend this snorkel adventure!

Great day on the water. The Silent crew is top notch, takes care of everything to include working with people who are nervous about going snorkeling. Boat is super clean, well stocked with chips, soda and water.
