Key West Dolphin Tours

We are always keeping an eye out for our flipper friends! But if seeing a dolphin is top priority for your group, then we can go to a few spots to increase our chances.

When we find them, your captain will share facts about them and allow plenty of time to view them in their natural habitat.

Dolphin Cruise Key West


The Dolphin Playground is a beautiful area to the West of Key West. The dolphins love to hang out and fish here. After a 20 minute boat ride we will cruise around and search for some fins!

What better way is there to view dolphins than in their natural habitat? Watch them hunt, play with fish, wrestle, and sometimes they choose to come check out our boat!

This area is open water therefore it is weather dependent.

Key West Dolphin

Key West is home to the very social and intelligent, Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphin. Your experienced captain knows all the spots the dolphins like to hang out. Let’s go enjoy their beauty.

Did you know a dolphins brain is larger than a human brain? 1600 grams vs 1300 grams

Want to know more fun facts?? We’ll be happy to teach you.
