Plus, Jean Cousteau’s dedicated “Shipwreck Snorkel Trail” with visitation 2nd to only the Great Barrier Reef.

A portion of the pier in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea collapsed in November of 2022 due to the impacts from Hurricane Nicole. This has made fishing prohibited and has created a limited chance to experience guided Snorkel excursions around unseen areas of Anglin’s Pier. Our original Tour was created over 12 years ago to complement the 1st Bio-Rock Project in the USA and today we still strive to grow and protect our beautiful reefs.

Fun way to explore Ft Lauderdale’s ocean scenery - We had a fun first time snorkeling experience! Kent was great, shared history about the reef/area and pointed out cool fish. Great communication about meet up and he took pictures and shared them with us. We will definitely be back for more tours in the future!

It was a great adventure! - It was a last minute booking for me but I am so glad I did. Kent was a great guide as he took me (and others) out to the reef. He was so generous with the descriptions of what I was to do, and what I was looking at. I would definitely go again and highly recommend this to everyone.

Amazing! - It was amazing!!! Kent was great! He explained everything very thoroughly and took care of us. He showed us the anchor and the canons, explained to us the evolution of the coral reefs. He provided us with waters afterwards took various amount of pictures for us. His friend Camilla was there to help us out as well. When my wife got motion sickness they took very good care of her, truly amazing! Definitely going back again!!

Provider had to cancel but helpful - We were unable to do the snorkel since the company said conditions would not be good for it. They were very helpful in finding us another tour option that we could do.

Disappointed - The guide was supposed to call the day before to give final instructions. We never received a call. We showed up. No one was there. We called and found out trip had been cancelled. We were given a kayak trip to replace it. It was okay - guide was nice but it wasn’t worth the money. Very disappointed

Felt duped - Didn't actually get to go. Our guide contacted us as we were walking downstairs to our Uber to head to the meeting point, and he let us know that the water conditions were rough and we would not enjoy the trip of we tried to snorkel. I was so disappointed! This was our last day and I really looked forward to snorkeling here. We couldn't cancel our Uber because he was there already, so we just took the ride to the beach where we were supposed to meet anyway. There were tons of snorkel groups there with children. Elderly, and others who appeared to be less physically able than us, so we felt like we could've done the activity without an issue. I texted the guide a few times to find out what we could do in the area and he had suggestions for restaurants, etc. I asked about a refund of our money and he told me to contact Viator. Then he let me know he was off work and that I would be able to correspond with his associates, if I needed to. That seemed weird.
