We had a wonderful time aboard Danger Charters. The captain and crew were so knowledgeable, funny, and personable. They were eager to teach you and do everything they could to ensure you had a great time. It was like a private charter geared just toward us. I highly recommend this to anyone of any age interested in seeing the waters of Key West. Would do it again in a second. The only downfall I could think of is that they were out of T-shirts for us to buy to commemorate our time! |

The crew; Wendy and Captain D were accomodating and knowlegable. We saw barracuda, stingray, and many other beautiful fish snorkeling. Kayaking we encountered lobster and Button sharks as well as Ospray and other birds. Wendy was enthusiastic and well versed on the wildlife. Lunch was delicious and the company was superb! Dolphins frolicked nearby the boat on our return trip. It could not have been any better! |

My boyfriend and I had a fantastic time on the Danger EcoKayak Tour! I had come across the idea of an ecokayak tour when browsing for things to do in the Key West area for our vacation. TripAdvisor.com advised me that Danger Tours was the #1 rated tour organizer so I looked in to it - there was a fair sized premium in comparison to other tours but we didn't notice that until we arrived in the area and were scoping out other things to do. The premium that you pay for on the tour is WELL WORTH IT - fantastic food, really personable tour guides, very accommodating services and the tour is just awesome. We had the lucky opportunity to see a couple of sharks, a turtle, sting rays, squid and some lobster, mahi mahi and some other fish during snorkeling and kayaking.
The tour guides provide a broad perspective to the ecosystem you're in including the current politics surrounding environmental protection, weather/disaster planning for the area, what happens when there's bad weather, government cleanup assistance for the environmental area and ecological/biological knowledge about the ecosystems.
I thoroughly enjoyed myself on the tour. The 3-mast sailboat was beautiful.
PS. The only hangup was our parking - we parked on the street so you have to put A LOT of change in the meter and local businesses aren't very accommodating when you ask for change. But that really has nothing to do with the tour. |

After driving down from Chicago, my girlfriend and I decided to take an adventure to Key West to experience some snorkeling and kayaking. This was our best experience in the keys. The weather was great with light winds and calm waters with an abundance of tropical fish swimming all around us. During the trip I also swam with a Sea Turtle. Yes, a big sea turtle! It was awesome. We also got to watch several dolphfins swim right up our boat. The trip only got better after this. We got to see a variety of birds in the rufuge. But what made the trip increadible was the STAFF! Our captain Cory, and the rest of the crew Christian, Keith, and Sun Shine were super friendly, entertaining, hilarious (Keith), and very knowledgable of ever question that got thrown at them. Their knowledge of the fish, birds, sea cucumbers, and Key West was incredible. Cory supplied a great lunch with many different meats, dips and chips, salads, and fresh fruit sliced and diced by Christian! Not to mention the beverage selection. Cory also supplied the boat with several cases of beer and bottles of great tasting wine which made the trip more enjoyable. They played great music and even let us swim in the water in the middle of the trip to explore some waters. Overall, this trip highlighted my trip to the Keys. I would highly recommend this trip to anybody who likes to have fun!! The crew made the trip and we had great weather. |

Danger characters is ultimate!!!...... crew memebers key, sunshine etc are fabulous, interactive, knowlegable and helpful. boat sail is awesome!!!! the best place i would say in my trip to florida ........ worth the penny you spend for this activitiy. We were group of 5 people and we had choosen the full day trip.. All of us were non-swimmers but still we were able to enjoy the snorkeling and kayaking........ they have equipments for non-swimmers to enjoy the every moment of it....They were with us during the snorkeling and kayaking guiding us .... If you are a non-swimmer like me, you dont have to worry danger crew members are the best!!! they will make every moment of your trip enjoyable! Drinks and food were unlimited. Eventhough you prefer not to do snorkel and kayaking you can stay at the boat which is also worth going..... I would prefer everyone to visit this place!!! danger character crew rocks |

Went on the all day trip with Capt. Haig on 12/31/08. The crew was very concerned with the comfort and entertainment of the passengers. My wife and I had a blast. We would go again. |

We did the half day sail, kayak and snorkel trip with Danger Charters. It was a very fun day. The experienced crew is skilled, cheerful, informative, enthusiastic and fun. It is a nice way to get out on the water and do some interesting activities. |

This was my second snorkel trip in Key West. The first was a mess. A lot of people on a big boat and left to fend for themselves in 2 to 3 foot swells you could barely get into the water. This trip however was excellent, in that, the area where you snorkel is 4-7 feet deep, swells were at a minimum b/c we were near a marsh like island (mangrove?) Anyway snorkeling was fun and got to see sting rays different fish and lobsters. Then the kayak part of the trip was great b/c they supply a guide to tell you what it is you're seeing. It was an all day cruise and a lot of fun. The food was excellent not pre-made sandwiches ...they provide the fixings and you make it as you like it which was great. The crew was knowledgeable and provided wine and beer during the downtime on the ship. |
