If you want to learn about fish in the Keys, don't miss this one. Much better than Everglades National Park boat trip at about the same cost. Very knowledgeable staff who were great at finding and describing sea life on the coral reef. Boat was clean and comfortable. My best ever glass bottom experience.

The staff is very helpful. There is a gift shop very well staffed and it has a small deli that you can get... More
