What travellers are saying
- Tamara71933 contributionsExcellent tour by Taylor, lots of information about what to do with injured turtles. They are fantastic and do amazing work!! Definitely worth a visit to support the turtles!!! ❤️Written 28 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jonathan G20 contributionsThis beach is a hidden gem, especially for dog lovers. It’s dog-friendly, making it the perfect spot for a day out with your furry friend. There’s also a designated area for snorkeling, adding a touch of adventure to your visit. My wife, our dog, and I spent the day here, and it was incredibly chill and relaxing. The water was calm and warm, ideal for both swimming and lounging. We stayed until sunset, which was absolutely stunning—an unforgettable way to wrap up Thanksgiving Day. The weather was perfect, enhancing the overall experience. I highly recommend this beach, especially if you’re looking for a dog-friendly destination to relax and unwind.Written 2 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DannyWassermanVirginia Beach, VA4,611 contributionsWe wanted to get a Birdseye view of the Dolphins on our visit to state Of Florida. We stopped by the Dolphin research center in the Grassy Key area and were not disappointed. There is a small fee to enter, and they have several areas where you can watch the dolphins get fed, do tricks, swim, and talk back to the humans. You can even get in the water and go swimming the dolphins. There is a small gift shop at the end if you would like to pick up some items.Written 30 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Roger OManuel Antonio, Costa Rica201 contributionsGreat pace to go back in time and see how the railroad and highways were built. The guide did an incredible job of explaining how things got done and the day to day life of the workers. We had a break because of the wind so we could not go fishing, this was a good alternative. We were staying in Marathon for thanksgiving. This was a male bonding trip for me and my 3 sons, age 12, 31, and 33. I highly recommend it.Written 1 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- DannyWassermanVirginia Beach, VA4,611 contributionsTremendous views on the Seven Mile Bridge coming from Key West Florida working your way up the Keys to the marathon Key. Spectacular bridge and stunning views should not be missed. Check it out, you will be happy.Written 28 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Jonathan G20 contributionsCrane Point was a lovely outing, especially with our dog, as the area is very dog-friendly. The trails, while on the shorter side, provided good exercise and made for a great outing if you have a pet. We rented a kayak and were delighted to find that dogs were allowed to join us. We spent a couple of hours kayaking and exploring the nearby islands, one of which is called Bird Island. The island was teeming with various bird species and even a few iguanas. While we couldn’t set foot on the island, we were able to kayak right up to it and get an up-close view of the wildlife. It also looked like a good spot for snorkeling, though we didn’t try it ourselves, but we did see others enjoying the water.
Crane Point also features a unique fish pedicure experience, which I tried for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed. Additionally, the Adderley House was available for viewing, though only from the outside during our visit—it seems it’s usually open to the public. Overall, it was a great day. If you’re not kayaking, you can explore everything within an hour. However, if you do kayak, you’ll have access for the whole day, though 2-3 hours is plenty of time to paddle out to the islands, explore, and return.Written 2 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

If you have young kids who love to pet and feed stingrays, turtles and more - this is a great spot to spend 2 hours or so. Worth the $$$.Written 25 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- April G4 contributionsCaptain Patrick and 1st Mate Cody were awesome! Very knowledgeable and fun. Snorkeling was great, water was a little choppy, but didn’t ruin anything. Reef was one of the prettier reef’s I’ve snorkeled. Would highly recommend, especially for couples.Written 17 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- DannyWassermanVirginia Beach, VA4,611 contributionsWe loved our journey up the Florida Keys. Driving the Old Seven Mile Bridge was part of the journey coming from Key West and working your way up to Key Largo. Take the trip, it's well worth it. The views are unbelievable, and the water is so blue and clear.Written 29 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JoeyLucasWashington DC, DC13 contributionsWe were surprised to find that this state park is not renting kayaks. You need to bring your own or use an outside provider.

- 1964lesjKnoxville, TN125 contributionsVery small building, but a lot of good information. I spoke to the woman at the desk and she gave me some very useful tips. Places to eat, places to visit, local attractions, etc. She was very knowledgeable about the area. She even gave me ideas of what to do in Key West. Very much worth a visit. Highly recommend.Written 14 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
