Are you ready for the Roatan excursion experience of a lifetime? Well, this is it! A full mile of exceptional fun and easy drift snorkeling and more!

Meet your local shore excursion guides outside your Roatan cruise ship port and board your air-conditioned transportation for a scenic 15-30 minute ride to French Cay where you will board your boat. Sail the crystal clear water to French Cay, one of the best-preserved reefs on the southern coast of Roatan. Your guide will pass out the snorkeling gear and show you how to use it. Once you have all of the equipment, your guides assist you into the water and lead you on an easy and relaxing adventure. The snorkel shore excursion boat will remain nearby to ensure your safety.

The water is shallow, so you will see an abundance of live coral and marine life. Don't forget your underwater camera because the photo opportunities are limitless! Along the mile-long reef, you can see lobster, lionfish, squid, butterfly fish, and if you are lucky, southern stingrays from a safe distance below! Even though the snorkel covers approximately a one-mile stretch, there is very little kicking needed as you will drift with the slow current. Snorkelers of all ages will enjoy this one!

The snorkeling time takes approximately one hour. You will board the boat and cruise back to get back on your transportation and head to Monkey Park just a few minutes away! If you ever wanted to get up close and personal with monkeys, sloths, exotic birds, iguanas, and more, this is the spot. There are countless monkeys in residence at this animal preserve. You will spend about 40 minutes in the park.

For your last excursion stop choose between the Beach Break where you can relax at a beautiful beach or stop for lunch at an ocean-view local restaurant with a swimming pool. Beach chairs are available at both locations. Just kick back and soak in the natural beauty and the views of the aqua blue water or stroll the powdery white, soft sand along the beach. For an additional price, food and beverages are available. Time allows you can enjoy the beach for between 1 - 2 hours.

At the end of your Roatan Relaxed Drift Snorkel, Monkey and Sloth Hangout, and Beach Excursion, your transportation will return you to your Roatan cruise ship port.

After a short work to our meeting point, Ana immediately took us away for our day of adventure and was our driver the entire day. First stop - we held sloths, pet monkeys and held beautiful birds. Next stop - we had a very small group of snorkelers. Derrick was our personal guide. He pointed out all sorts of sea creatures and explained what they were. The beautiful coral reef was teeming with fish. Last stop - we opted for Ana to take us to a local restaurant to try local seafood. We had an amazing lunch of conch fritters, fried plantains, coconut shrimp and garlic shrimp. It was an amazing day. We were pampered by everyone. Highly recommend.

Our guide met us on the street right outside the port. Anna our driver was most informative about the island and the people living there. We were treated very well everywhere. Loved the sloths, birds and monkeys! The snorkeling was outstanding! Our guide was so knowledgeable and willing to teach us about the reef and the marine life living there. We were a group of six which was awesome that we had individual care throughout or excursion. I cannot recommend enough, what an awesome organization with wonderful people! We choose to go to the resturant, the food was great as well as friendly people! We will be back!

This was my second time I used Roatan Ocean Adventures. They really want to make sure you have a great time. They were right where they said they would be to meet up with us. We enjoyed the monkeys and Sloths, then went drift snorkeling along an amazing reef and shipwreck. Our guides made it fun and safe for all of us. We had four members in our group ages 21, 23, 57, and 62. We all were capable of doing all of the activities including snorkeling.

If your looking to support real local businesses and have a great time with the nicest people, this is the way to do it! Everyone including our driver Ana were very nice, professional, knowledgeable and informative. The beach is fairly new and still some construction going but still very beautiful and fun with amazing staff. I can't wait to go back! Legit locally owed and operated. Felt like it was all a family business from the local animal rehabilitation park, to snorkeling and the beach. 10 out of 10 must do if you want a real local feel and experience. You also get a lot for your money. Only recommendation is if the was an option to include food and drinks at the beach for an additional charge.

Great Day with Rex in Roatan

This was our second excursion booking with ShoreExcursioneer on our cruise through the Western Caribbean. Our first one was amazing and this one to Roatan was just as fun! We had the pleasure of spending the day with Rex, who is such a GREAT man. Such a wonderful attitude and very funny. It was just our group of 4, and our first stop was at the monkey/sloth sanctuary. We had a blast there and got some really cool pictures. After spending time there, we made a very short trip to the dock and took a boat out for our snorkeling part of the excursion. Our snorkel guides were also super cool and made the day just a lot of fun. The best part for us about booking with this company is that the group size has always been so small. It makes the tours so much more enjoyable and relaxing, not having to fight with 60 other people for a spot on a bus. It's also nice being able to have the ability to interact with the tour guides and get detailed answers to your questions. After snorkeling, Rex then took us to a coconut plantation where we got to sample some amazing baked goods and learn more about coconuts and how they are used in various products. After that, we asked Rex to take us to a good lunch spot, and he sure delivered on that. We were right on the ocean and had a fabulous meal! The entire time, Rex wanted to make sure we did not worry about making it back in time. He also gave us some great history about Roatan and encouraged us to ask as many questions as we had. I highly recommend this excursion and be sure to request Rex for your guide, you will not be disappointed!

Joe (our driver) met us at port and got us safely to our first stop at Daniel Johnson’s Monkey and Sloth Hangout. There we met Luke, who was our guide through the hangout. He was funny and kind and never made us feel rushed through seeing all the animals. After that, Joe took us to where we met our guides for the drift snorkel, Preston (boat driver) and Garrick (snorkel guide). The views on the snorkel were absolutely AMAZING and Garrick was extremely knowledgeable about everything we were seeing. We would DEFINITELY do this tour again.

This was a great tour. We booked the day before and they accommodated us, even though we were the only people booked. The service was great and they offered us alternatives for the beach break when the weather and holiday kept them from using their normal choice. We really enjoyed the sloths and monkeys. We got to hold a sloth, have monkeys run around and play with us, and hold parrots. Then we had a short trip to the snorkeling. They considered alternatives to the drift snorkel because of the weather, but ended up doing the drift snorkel. There were tons of fish and coral. Highly recommend!

This was our favorite excursion of our trip/cruise for our family of 9 (4 adults and 5 kids ages 11-18). Our driver, Ana, was fantastic We started at the monkey/sloth hangout and had so much fun holding the sloths, letting the monkeys climb all over us, and holding the macaws. From there we took a very short drive to our snorkeling excursion. There were our 9 plus 2 more on the boat and our guides Norman and Gary were so good and fun. Norman made sure to point out various fish and the shipwreck. Our 12 year old had some difficulty with her mask in the water and Gary was right there to help her get adjusted in the water and get back to snorkeling. After snorkeling it was time for lunch. Their usual place they like was closed that day so Ana suggested another local place, Snappers. It was covered but on the water which was nice during a short rain. The food was great and very reasonably priced. We would absolutely recommend this tour and do it again.

This was by far our favorite excursion we have ever been on. First we loved the individual attentions we got it. It was just us and our driver. This allowed for some flexibility in schedule and personalization of the experience. 2nd for us It started early so we beat the crowds. 3rd... The monkey and sloth experience was great. We did not feel rushed at all by our personal guide. 4th The snorkeling was spectacular. Our guide was with us in there water and made sure we saw everything. So many beautiful things. Plus the team took good care us. Everything from cleaning our equipment to getting the snorkel out of my hair. Side note. It is a bit off a hike to the pick up location. However we took a taxi that cost $2 a person.

We booked this last minute the night before our port. I was concerned that my friend wouldn't be able to keep up or do the snorkel due to it being her first time and they immediately responded to my question. So YES, if you worried about this, don't be! They were patient and worked with her until she was comfortable and stayed beside her the whole time. The snorkel crew (Garrick, Norman and Preston) were awesome! I love to snorkel and my only complaint is I didn't want to stop. This is a MUST DO especially if you don't like the big crowd guided snorkels. You really don't have to do much because the current keeps you on track. I loved it!! The Monkey sloth park was great as well. It wasn't over crowded and we got a few laughs. Next we opted for the beach break and we loved it!!! The water was clear, the beach is beautiful and not over crowded the food (for a fee) was delicious and we even got a message in the water. I can't say enough how perfect this was. I also have to give a big shout out to Kisha our driver that takes us to each destination. This lady is wonderful And went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. So to everyone involved at ROATAN OCEAN ADVENTURES, Great job!! You were the best part of our vacation and we had an amazing time!!! I can't wait to see you again in February!!! I would give this 10 stars if I could.

Remember these names: Norma, Paige, Norman, Garrett, & Preston. I can not express to you enough how perfect these people made our day. Norma picked us up and stayed with us the entire day until she dropped us off back at port. The sloths were just precious. The monkeys were fun. The snorkel..... the snorkel was excellent. Norman, Garrett, and Preston made sure we went to a clear spot and identified the many different types of fish we saw. They laughed with us, and were the nicest guides. We have snorkeled in Alaska, Hawaii, Belize, and many others but this was by far the best we have ever been on. You will not regret booking. If you are concerned about booking outside of cruise line, don't be. THEY WILL GET YOU BACK IN TIME. They know when you need to be back, and will drive you by boat if they have too.

Roatan Relaxed Drift Snorkel, These guys really know how to show a good time. We did the Sloth, Monkey, snorkel and beach break in Sept 2022. The owner, Herbert picked us up at the terminal and explained how our day would go. As well as a little about current events on the Island. First the trip to the sloth farm. That was special. Huggable little guys. Then on to the dock where his team of snorkel guides took us to the most amazing spot about 10 mins away. We have snorkeled Roatan before and this spot is the best. It was low season, so the tour was just me and my husband. We each basically had our own guide, Norman and Garrick. They are fun and very knowledgeable. In addition to all the beautiful coral and fish, we saw a shipwreck. The water was so clear that day, Norman challenged Garrick to free dive it (no tank) to the ship and he did. 48’! Next we were given a choice of either a restaurant with swimming pool or a beach break. We chose the restaurant. Herbert took us to a nice, secluded place with the freshest fish tacos I have ever had. We sat togehter and just chatted about the island and what we saw. After eating, we took a quick dive in the freshwater pool. The trip was very much worth the cost. Herbert stayed with us the entire and we felt very safe. I would highly recommend this trip.

This was an amazing day! Herbert was waiting for us outside of the cruise port and drove us to the sloth and monkey hangout. He was so friendly and informative on the drive over. After he dropped us off we had the opportunity to hold sloths and closely interact with monkeys and macaws. Next, Herbert took us to meet our drift snorkel guides Garrick and Norman. They were fabulous. Norman was the captain and Garrick was our snorkel expert. He was so patient and helpful. He took us to a spot where we saw many beautiful fish and many other things. After snorkeling, they dropped us at the Little French Key. They asked us when we would like to be picked up so they could pick us up. When we arrived at the Little French Key, there was a person waiting for us to show us the way. There were many exotic animals and a beautiful beach with many things to do. When it was time to go, Herbert and Garrick picked us up by boat and took us back to dock. Then Herbert drove us back the the cruise terminal. I would highly recommend this excursion. It was amazing! Herbert and Garrick were the best!!!

From the moment we met Herbert just outside the cruise terminal we were enjoying ourselves. The trip across the island was filled with information about growing up on beautiful Roatan. Our first stop was the Daniel Johnson Sloth and Monkey Park. Instructions were shared to make the experience wonderful. Holding a sloth put a check on my bucket list! The monkeys were so funny. Next was an amazing snorkel trip where you could drift and see the beautiful fish and coral. Finally we were dropped off at Little French Key. This place was beyond beautiful. Delicious food, great service, swimming, floating, paddle boards... you name it! We can definitely say we spent the day in paradise and Herbert and his crew made everything perfect!

I am so glad that I found this excursion. Our guide, Kisha, was very informative and easy to understand. The guys at the Sloth and Monkey place were great. It was a little difficult snorkeling against the current which we didn't expect. We didn't see as much underwater as we had hoped but you never know. The French Key beach place was nice and had some animals there. The guys with the boat took us back from the beach to where Kisha was waiting to drive us to the cruise dock. Please do this excursion! You can take your own pictures everywhere, even the sloth place which saves you money. Please use some of your savings to tip your guides. So often Norwegian has skipped this wonderful port and I'm really glad they didn't skip it during our cruise. At the port you walk to where the cabs are. There are many people in the area but just ask for your guide. You hold a sloth, monkey, macaw. You would be so jealous if I posted my pictures. Kisha had a nice car and she turned on the AC for us. She drove us to the snorkel boat from the Sloth place but it was such a short ride, we could have easily walked. The monkey may pee on you but they have bathrooms to clean up.

We booked this tour for the sloths and snorkeling. From pick up to drop off our tour operators were great. They were waiting for us when we got off the ship. First they took us to the Monkey and Sloth Hangout which was so cool. After our visit there we walked a short way to the boat for snorkeling. We were supposed to be joined by more people but they were running late so they took us out on our own which was amazing. Garret and Norman were excellent guides for the snorkeling and Norman even took my GoPro and took some great videos and pictures for us. I would highly recommend Roatan Ocean Adventures(ROA) and we will definitely use them on our next visit.

Just got back from our cruise. The "Roatan Relaxed Drift Snorkel, Monkey and Sloth Hangout, and Little French Key Beach Break Excursion" that we experienced was the best excursion I have ever had while visiting the Caribbean. The company that offered it was Roatan Ocean Adventures (ROA). This excursion was actually 3 excursions in one. Our guide, Herbert was the BEST! We started out visiting the Sloth hangout. We were able to hold a sloth and interact with monkeys. Too cool. From there we did the most amazing snorkel experience I have ever had. I cannot say enough about how wonderful this snorkel experience was. The water is just incredible and full of colorful fish and many different corals. The best snorkel excursion I have ever had, hands down! After the snorkeling we spent a couple of hours doing our thing on Little French Key. We explored the little island, then sipped a couple of Pina Colada's, and ate an amazing seafood platter with Lobster, Conch, Caribbean King Crab, Fish, and Shrimp. I can't wait to go back down to Roatan to do this excursion all over again. THANK YOU HERBERT!!! You and your guys really are the best. Richard & Kim

We had an absolute blast, we would go again in a heartbeat. It was the best excursion we have ever done. The snorkeling was absolutely amazing and our guides from (ROA) Roatan Ocean Adventures were superb. Our Snorkeling guide Preston took us to the most beautiful reef. We felt safe with him guiding us around the water and showing us the different corals and fish. The sloth tour was cool, I liked that it was a quick stop, no need for more than 20-30 min there. At the end of the tour ROA dropped us off at little french key for a few hours to explore and then they picked us up and brought us back to the cruise terminal. Little French Key was a nice break after snorkeling to buy some lunch, relax and explore a pretty island. Would absolutely recommend this tour and Roatan Ocean Adventures. This company cares deeply about the ocean and marine wildlife and their expertise and knowledge shows. Thanks you guys for a great day!

This was a great excursion at a very beautiful location. We were met right outside the port by our guide, Keisha, and taken to our first stop. My wife and I were the only ones on the ride, which was super nice. Keisha was very knowledgeable and told us about many aspects of Roatan. We went to Daniel’s monkey and sloth experience where we had time to interact with the monkeys, sloths and birds. Keisha waited for us then we were taken to our snorkeling portion of the excursion. We had only snorkeled once before and our guides were very accommodating and helpful. The weather when we arrived was less than perfect, as rain started pouring before our departure. The guys advised us to wait a few and the rain should pass. The guides were correct and took us out for about a 45 min drift snorkel to their beautiful reef and a sunken ship. We were then taken by the guides to LFC for a few hours on the beach. The weather remained clear and we enjoyed about 2 and half hours at LFC the food and drinks were good and reasonably priced. Our server was fast and very friendly. We were picked up promptly at our previously agreed time by the guides from ROA and taken back to the main island where Keisha was waiting to take us back to the port. We were dropped off inside the port where we had about an hour to shop before having to return to the ship. You cannot beat this excursion for the money and their hospitality was excellent.

We absolutely loved this excursion! Roatan Ocean Adventures took great care of us. They met us outside the cruise terminal, drove us about 20 minutes to the sloth and monkey hangout. There were quite a few groups there and it just started raining so we were all kind of crowded under dry spots. The sloths were really cute and it even seemed that they posed for pictures! Going into the monkey enclosure was a lot of fun because you never knew when one of them would have a seat on your head or shoulder. Lots of great pictures there. We then walked down the road to our boat dock to get our snorkel gear and head out. The drop off spot is a short boat ride away and the water is so clear. We snorkeled along the reef and Preston, our guide was very informative about what we were seeing. The sun had come out by then and the water temperature was really nice. We saw so many fish and beautiful coral. The reef dropped off to about 300 feet down and the marine activity at that point was fantastic. Preston took us over a sunken ship and if you dove down about 8 feet deep, you could really see it clearly. He made sure we were safe and together. After the snorkel, they took us to Little French Key. A really lovely beach. We purchased lunch there and the good thing is they took credit cards. There was a rope swing that you could use to launch yourself into the water off a tower that was a lot of fun. The tour guide let us stay a little longer than usual and then came and got us in the boat and then drove us back to the cruise terminal in plenty of time to get back on our cruise ship. We had a lot of fun and would recommend this excursion!

This excursion was unbelievably amazing from start to finish. Our driver Rex was very informative, polite, and took very good care of us from the very beginning. We were taken to see sloths and monkeys to start with. The weather was a little rainy but we were able to hold a sloth and let the monkeys play around on us. We also got to let the parrots and macaws fly on us. All of it was such a wonderful experience. We were then taken to the boat dock to go Snorkel. Unfortunately the weather got a little bad but they let us wait it out. Our safety seemed to be of utmost importance to them. Which was very much appreciated. Thankfully the weather cleared enough that were able to snorkel in some shallow water. Our guides were very experienced. And we all felt very safe. We saw lots of fish, lobsters and conchs. We were then brought to a beach area where we had about and hour and half to roam around. Unfortunately all of that time was spent waiting on our food order. The food was not good. But the scenery and water was all very beautiful. Next time we would just skip the restaurant and eat back on the ship. Overall it was an amazing experience and we would definitely do it again.

I wish we could remember the names of all of our guides. We had such a nice time. Mr. Rex was waiting for us at the designated meeting spot and gave us a tour along the way to the excursion. We went to the monkey and sloth hangout first and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was raining very hard so we waited at the snorkel place under a covered area and waited for it to pass. We were offered the option of canceling our snorkeling trip due to the weather but we were encouraged to wait it out since it is some of the best places to snorkel. We were glad we did. Our guides were very knowledgeable and helpful and looked for things to show us. The guides even brought up conch and sea urchins for us to see. The entire time there was another guy on the boat watching the weather to make sure we stayed safe. Everyone was very nice. We were then brought to the beach for a break. We had about an hour and a half but we had to wait for our food all of that time. If we were to do it again, we’d plan for that time and maybe just get a drink instead of eating. We would definitely go there again. Roatan was absolutely beautiful and the people were so nice.

This excursion with ROA was the best! Keisha (our driver) guided us for each stop on the tour. She was so sweet and told us a bit of history and information about the island during our drive. The monkey and sloth location was so much fun. Preston (our diver) and Dillan (the captain) gave us the best part of the tour! Our family was on the boat alone, making it a personalized experience. The aquatic life at the site we visited was beyond incredible. Our daughter said the fishies were beautiful and there were so many different color corals, it was unbelievable. We love snorkeling in Roatan so much and hope to dive there next time! The food was also great at our last stop. Herbert (the owner) even met us on our boat ride back and thanked us for visiting! We will definitely book with ROA again for our next cruise at Roatan.

This tour company is one of the best i have encountered! Even though I was the only guest on this trip, they accepted my last minute request and treated me like a friend. All 3 events were fantastic! The sloth/monkey visit, beautiful reef snorkeling and the delightful Little French Key. I would do this excursion again in a heartbeat!

Although the weather wasn’t ideal (very windy and wet), our guide, Kisha made sure we had a great time. She was very informative and friendly. The sloths and monkeys were so adorable! Heriberto and Derick , found us a safe but beautiful place to snorkel. The Little French Key was beautiful! Pablo was very attentive.

The sloths were my favorite! Absolutely a must do! Little French key was very relaxing as well, although the food wasn’t that good. Snorkeling was ok but the guide said that it was unusually murky that day and very choppy and lots of jellyfish that stung. So overall I would definitely do it again without the snorkeling. Our guides were great too. We only had one other couple on the snorkeling part and we were the only ones in the vehicle to get from one location to the other.

First of all.... DO NOT WORRY ABOUT TAKING EXCURSIONS NOT BOOKED THROUGH BOAT!!!!! I used shore excursioneer and they hooked us up with Marjorie and the best day of our trip! We met her right away, right where she said she would be. She was just adorable, informative and so capable! She drove us in her pickup truck 45min to the sloth/monkey hangout. I dont know the difference between the hangout and Daniel Johnsons but this was just awesome. The drive out to them was my favorite.... Marjorie told my 2 boys (9,12) about growing up there and having 5 monkeys as pets! She told them what life was like for her and her family etc. It was everything I wanted for them... to see how beautiful other countries are, how they speak other languages and how different their culture is. We got there and held a sloth and then went into the monkeys who were incredible. Our guide there was Isaac and he was just awesome! We finished up with the monkeys and then went in to see the birds. Marjorie was waiting for us and then took us over to her friends/partners who took all of us out on a boat to a reef. The water makes you speechless!!!! The water was rough to us but according to them it was great so just be aware of that. When we were done with snorkeling, we went back in and Marjorie was waiting for us to go over to Little French Key. DO NOT MISS LFK IF GOING TO ROATAN!!!! Stunning water and just awesome people. We had 1-2hours there and I am already looking into ways to vacation just in Roatan. When we were done with LFK the boat brought us back to Marjorie who was ready to get us back to the boat. Roatan is now my most favorite magical place!!!

This tour would be better if you came in on Princess or Carnival via the other cruise terminal. Coming into Coxen Hole is a congested nightmare. The driver has to take the long way to bypass town with will eat up over an hour of your time. The other port is about 10 minutes away and you will get more out of your excursion. We also spent to much time waiting on the boat to come back go do the snorkling and Little French Key visit

This was the first time we ever used a non-cruise line booking for an excursion and things couldn't have gone better. The guides were waiting for us right where they said they'd be (it was a bit of a walk just fyi). They were easy to find and professional. When we checked in we told them 1 person in our reservation wouldn't be able to make it and that was no problem for them. The (provider), simple reduced our bill without any haggling or discussion of it being too late for a refund. After we checked in we waited about 10 minutes then they took us to the little shuttle/minivan while we waited for the rest of our party. We had 3 more people join us, a family from Syracuse, and then we were off. Our first stop was to visit the monkeys and sloths. This is a separate business right near Little French Key and was a wonderful place to hangout. They had a couple types of monkeys, sloths (hi Sid), and a few macau birds as well. Once done we left there and our guide walked us about 5 minutes to our boat for our snorkeling portion. Another couple joined us on the boat for snorkeling along with 3 guides. The boat was smaller than some people may be used to, but it was sound and had a ladder for climbing back in after snorkeling. The wind was really high that day so they stopped off with many other boats along the interior where the water wasn't too rough and we snorkeled in along the smaller reef heading towards Little French Key. The snorkeling was the best we had on our entire trip (Cozumel and Belize being the other two stops). We saw a large barracuda, lots of fish, lobsters, etc. After we finished, we convinced him to at least go out and look at the alpha site. The water was rough and the current was fast but we were all experienced snorkelers except for 1 person so they decided that if we wanted they could let us drift over the beginning of the reef and get washed into the harbor for those that were willing to try it. The inexperienced person stayed in the boat but the rest of us went for it and WOW. I'll go back to see that reef again any day. Just the portion we saw was amazing. At this point in time the trip had already paid for itself. It was the cheapest and best. After getting us all back into the boat safely (which was a challenge with the swell) we were off for Little French Key. They gave us a 1 liter bottle of water on the way. Considering this was on top of what we'd already gotten it was a Major Bonus as LFK itself was worth the price we paid. We got 3 hours at LFK and then the boat picked us back up and back we went. I've always booked thru cruise lines before but this was eye opening. We got so much more from this excursion and it was $20 less per person than what we could get from the ship that I will definitely book thru them again! My sister was on the cruise with us. She booked LFK directly, with no snorkeling add on and paid around $100/person. If you add in the price of food at LFK my wife and I spent $75 and we got way more bang for our buck. A note about LFK, the food was terrible ;) That has nothing to do with ShoreExcursionner, just an fyi for you.

This was the highlight of our cruise. We loved every bit of this excursion from the time that we met Marjorie (at the Port), to when she had to drop us off to return to our ship. First stop was the DJ Sloth and Monkey Park where we got to hold a sloth. So cute! You can go in with some super curious monkeys and then in with some macaws. All of the animals are rescues, people had purchased them as pets originally. After the awesome animal encounter we got to go snorkeling. Our guides were great and the snorkeling was amazing! It was wonderful to see a reef that was so vibrant. And all the fish...it almost didn't seem real! We also saw a shipwreck. After snorkeling we got to have a beach break at Little French Key. That place was exactly what I'd imagined a tropical island paradise to be - turquoise waters, cool drinks, soft sand... You can't go wrong booking with this family owned and operated tour company.
