“Not much to do on your own”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed April 14, 2013

The "Underwater" is an important part of the name. We went there just to spend the day near the water and go snorkeling but you can't really do this from the shore. So if you are going there plan to get on one of their boats (glass bottom boat was broken on our visit, so maybe call ahead) or rent... More

“A Must-See in the Miami area”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 22, 2013 via mobile

This less visited park has great facilities with boat trips, kayak rentals, and great things to see and do. We didn't allow enough time and will be back!

“Four People, Two Activities, One Boat”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 14, 2013

I booked the snorkeling trip for three and I was just going along to watch. My 13 year old son decided he didn't want to snorkel; so I asked if we could both be dropped off at Boca Chita Island instead. No problem. They also put the $10 diference between the the snorkeling trip and the Boca Chita trip toward... More

I love this park! I bring all my out of town friends and family here. I took the boat ride two weeks ago and really enjoyed it. This place is a gem not to be missed.

“Extraordinary service, views, and a great time await you!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 3, 2013 via mobile

I had a great time kayaking! The view was beautiful and the paths through the mangroves make you feel like you're traveling down the amazon. The owners are very knowledge and a polite group of individuals who make you feel like family as soon as you arrive. Matthew helped set us up and let me tell you this is one... More

“Great trip out from Miami”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 3, 2013

We did a half-day snorkelling trip on our way back from the Keys into Miami which was perfect. It's a beautiful boat ride to Boca Chita and then into the area where you snorkel. The visibility depends a little on the weather but you definitely see some good live coral and fish. The crew wa friendly and gave interesting background... More

“Pleasantly Relieved”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 2, 2013

I was a little concerned about our snorkel trip after reading some of the reviews here. However, a Groupon came up and we just went for it. The staff was quite friendly and helpful during our day. We started with a short kayak trip in the bay. The guy that helped us out with it told us where the best... More
