We did the snorkeling experience and I 100% recommend if you’ve never been before. I felt like it was a great way to experience snorkeling without having to face my fear of going deep in the ocean! The gift shop is ADORABLE, and all the staff were super sweet!

A small aquarium where you get a tour with a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide. It was a very personal experience where you get to talk with an expert and not just listen. I have a new appreciation for what lives in our oceans.

We purchased the snorkeling experience for my 12 year old son and I. My son enjoyed his 1st time snorkeling, as we prepared for snorkeling at BSA Seabase adventure. We loved the experience in a safe environment to get us ready for a long week snorkeling adventure in Key West this summer.

"Small Aquarium with an Interactive Presentation"
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5
Reviewed January 30, 2024
This is a small all-outdoors (but under cover) aquarium with guided tours every half hour or so. Our guide had an interesting and informative interactive presentation that focused primarily on the kids in the group. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable! For an extra fee, many of the kids petted or fed the rays and sharks. This aquarium is ideal for families and children, but our group of seniors enjoyed it too. Plan on about an hour. Note that you do not wander through the aquarium at your own pace - you are with a guide. There is an optional short walking trail, through the woods; it was pleasant, but there was not much to see on the trail. The trail might be better another time of year.

"Exciting Snorkeling Experience"

Reviewed January 17, 2024
Took three grandkids here. Two of them decided to snorkel with the tropical fish in a large pool. They were a bit nervous getting in the pool with large circling fish, but Alex, the guide was very supportive and encouraging. The air was cool, but the water warm. Alex also gave a professional tour of the sea creatures in three sections of the aquarium/
