You dont need any scuba training or snorkeling gear to view the awe-inspiring biodiversity that thrives in the coral reef habitat; you can look through the large viewing windows on our glass bottom boats to clearly see the thriving undersea environment. The excellent clarity of the waters in this area will allow you to see all of the prismatic beauty of this aquatic wonderland.

The Florida Keys offer vacationers a one-of-a-kind ecological experience while visiting the living coral reef system. The extensive reef system in the Keys is the only living coral reef on the eastern seaboard of North America, as well as the lone living coral reef in the continental United States. The flow of temperate water from the Gulf Stream maintains the consistently warm water temperature in the Keys that is required to promote coral growth.

This bustling marine environment provides habitat to a splendid assortment of aquatic creatures like scuttling crustaceans, brightly-colored mollusks, circling sharks, gliding manta rays, and rare marine turtles. You will witness an array of prismatic tropical fish, like angel fish and parrot fish, maneuvering along the reef filled with soft corals, sponges and hard corals. Our glass bottom boat excursions are fun and educational tours that are ideal for the whole family.
