Itinerary and highlights
If you've never been to a Key West sandbar, think of a huge natural swimming pool in the middle of the ocean. The water is crystal clear, warm, and shallow, with a soft white sandy bottom that's perfect for wading, floating, and relaxing. We provide snorkeling gear and floaties so you can explore, spot marine life, collect a few interesting shells, or simply enjoy the laid-back island atmosphere away from the crowds. Every trip is a little different—you might see tropical fish, rays, starfish, or other local sea creatures depending on the conditions. It's one of the best ways to experience the Florida Keys and spend a few hours enjoying the water like a local.
