We went snorkeling at Looe Key reef in the Florida Keys recently. After snorkeling at the beaches in a couple of state parks, we decided to try taking one of the many dive/snorkeling boats offered in the area. Glad we chose the boat company that operates out of Bahia Honda State Park. The boat is named "Sundance". We went on two trips, the first with Captain P.T., the second with Captain Jack. The first mate and Divemaster was Brian. All were great and made the trip very enjoyable and safe. The reef is about 5 to 7 miles out and takes around 40 minutes to reach. We snorkeled for about an hour and a half each time, which was plenty. Took the 1:30 trips both times. I’ve read the water is calmer/clearer on the trip they offer earlier in the day, but it was pretty fantastic on both of our trips. We saw lots of tropical fish, barracudas, a huge goliath grouper and even sharks (which totally ignored the snorkelers). Have to say, it was incredible and we are looking forward to going back.
