Awesome time! - As we headed out to the reef, we had a pod of dolphins hang out with us for nearly an hour! The snorkeling allowed us to see many types of fish and even turtles. The boat itself is comfortable with plenty of seating. The crew helped us get the perfect fit for our masks, fins and wet suits. We enjoyed the assorted snacks and beverages as well. Barefoot Billy’s Dolphin Watching and Snorkeling Adventure is an absolute must-do. Thanks for a great time with captain Zach and First Mate Miah!

Great day out on the sea. - Super fun afternoon! Saw a whole lot of dolphins and interesting fish. The outing was really well planned - snorkeling outfit was accompanied by a floaty noodle which was comfy and felt safe.

Enjoyable experience - Organized through our hotel. We got a shuttle to pick us up at our hotel and drop us off. Smelled a little musty inside. The tour itself was nice. Was worried it would get canceled because of the rain but the rain ended pretty quick. Dolphins were a bit elusive but we did find some. They got right up next to our boat! Tried to get us snorkeling on the Atlantic side but water was too choppy. Took us to the coral nursery on the gulf side. Explained how to snorkel very well and got to see plenty of fish, a lobster and even a stingray. Light refreshments were provided. Martha and the captain were great otherwise.

Dolphin sighting and snorkelling trip - Excellent trip. Friendly crew. Boat with great faciliities. Saw Dolphins (including a baby!) and see Turtles from the boat. Saw Barracuda and a nurse shark while snorkelling. Plenty of time in the water and generous supply of refreshments after.

Best tour. Excellent staff - We went on this tour on 9/10/2024. We had a fabulous trip. Captain Scott and Marnie were the best. They went out of their way to point out sea turtles and other fish . We went to this one area and there were so many dolphins to see. I would highly recommend Barefoot Billy’s snorkeling and dolphin watch tour.

Couldn't have asked for a better time! - Our guides were Mya and Scott. They were extremely fun people! We instantly found dolphins and they were doing the coolest jumps in the air. We got to the snorkeling spot and they were very encouraging to people that were nervous. They had so many fun and cool facts about dolphins and the other sea creatures we may see while snorkeling. Mya was so passionate about it she really makes you have another perspective on ocean life if you aren't used to being around it. We had really cool conversations both of them and the drinks served on the ride back was the icing on the cake. I full-heartedly recommend this business to anyone looking for things to do in Key West. Its worth every penny, they are so welcoming to tourists and want you to love the island as much as they do.

Unfriendly/ Rude staff - The boat driver didn't take any effort to show us dolphins. People would radio in giving them the location but they seemed lazy and didn't try to get to those locations on time. We didn't end up seeing any dolphins on the tour. I get that it's not a guarantee but I'm disappointed that no effort was taken at all. The other staff member on board, Maya was just outright rude. She answered our questions with reluctance and was grumpy and unwelcoming the whole time.
