Great snorkeling
Jul 2021
We went with Sundance Watersports. Tons of fish, calm water. Slightly down from the lighthouse on the reef, we saw a sea turtle and other awesome creatures.

A live aquarium
Jun 2021
Gorgeous water and every fish you can imagine swims around here. The only issue I had was some seasickness as there were 2-3 foot waves while I was in the water. Was worth the 45 minutes of queasiness, but if I do it again, I'll definitely pick a less windy day.

Must go

We brought our jet ski to Islamorada and was really worth it. 30 minutes ride to the reef and I was amazed with the water color and the life underwater. A lot of fishes, stingray and a few sharks. Loved it.

Great 🤿 trip!
Jul 2021 • Couples
What a GREAT spot! We were supposed to go on a snorkel trip to the Dry Tortuga but b/c of a tropical storm the trip was canceled. So we headed north and landed in Islamorada. We
Went out today with a snorkel tour group to the lighthouse. There were sooooo many schools of fish under the lighthouse! We also saw nurse sharks, barracuda, lobsters and nice coral and purple fans. Definitely worth the trip!

Cool place to snorkel
Jun 2021
It's not a diving destination, but if you are down here and have a boat you can see some cool stuff.

Can’t wait to go back!
Jun 2021 • Family
We rented a boat and spent several hours out there. It was epic under the lighthouse!! There were literally thousands of fish under there!!! We saw barracudas, a small nurse shark, parrot fish and a sea turtle! Make sure (if you’re comfortable enough) you go under the light house, it’s amazing!!

Perfect snorkeling trip
Jun 2021
We took a snorkeling trip out of Robbie's Marina on the boat named Blue. We have one out on this snorkeling trip in the past since the crew is very friendly and helpful. We went to Alligator Reef Lighthouse and the water, snorkeling and the fish were unbelievably beautiful. The water and the abundance of fish were so colorful that it was breath-taking. Alligator Reef Lighthouse is an impressive place to snorkel and offers an array of colorful fish and clear water. We will definitely go on this snorkeling trip again and will love to visit Alligator Reef Lighthouse.

Amazing variety of creatures.

Glad it is a sanctuary, quantities of fish were impressive. Water clarity was great in spite of rough conditions on the surface.

Good snorkel trip
May 2021
We went with Sundance out of Robbies. Nice place to snorkel with plenty of underwater sea life to keep you interested. The three hour trip was plenty. Saw a turtle, nurse sharks, loads of colorful reef fish, and a ton of larger grouper
