Extremly poor service, never again
This was one of my worst travel experiences in my life. I paid 476$ for my family and me to see and dive on the beautiful coral reef near Key West, boat trip and free refreshments plus transportation from the hotel in Miami Beach and back. During the trip, the bus broke down and we waited for a bus replacement over 2.5 hours on the highway. Due to the breakdown, we didn't get on the boat in time, in fact we didn't even see boat or coral reef or any free drinks. There was no compensation as there was in the case of other passengers who received it from other companies and enjoy beautiful beaches and reefs. Instead of the gray line company apologizing, trying to solve issue and replacing the failed trip, they started haggling over our money and discuss how much a bus transportation to Key West should cost. Honestly, if I just wanted to get to the island tour, I would rent a car for 100 USD, save money as well as time and have a much more comfortable journey. Fully not recommend to use Grey Line. Absolutely unprofessional. Tears on the face of my baby girl when she found there will not be any excursion and snorkling - not capable to describe and I dont wish that to anyone. I do recommend to use other provider or go to exclusive dinning instead as this trip was deffinetly not worthed.
Response from the operator: Good morning, thank you for your feedback. Sorry for the unforeseen issue with the bus. We had sent a replacement bus to get all passengers on board. Please call the office and ask to speak to a manager for there was to be compensation for the missed excursion and more. If you did not get that please reach out to us. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused and once again please call the office for i want to make sure you receive that compensation that was given to our clients that were on this trip. Thank you.

Could have been so much better
A bus takes you from your hotel to Key West, however the bus is filled to the max (no empty seats) so if you are an odd # of people, you are certainly sitting with someone. It's a 4 hour drive each way. Part of our bus had seats facing backward which I had to sit in and I get car sick, so I had to sit sideways for 4 hours so I wouldn't get sick. I told the tour guide, but she didn't do anything. It was a very hot day and the AC did not work well at all on the lower tier of the bus and everyone was very hot. The seats are first come first serve, which is a pain. When you get to Key West, the bus drops you off and then the tour guide takes you to your area if you sign up for an excursion. If you do the marina trips- it is quite a longer walk there so wear comfortable shoes. The snorkeling boat I had- stated that one of their boats was broken so double the amount of people were on 1 boat. They ran out of room to sit and it was so crowded to snorkel people were on top of each other and a lot of fish swam away because of all the splashing/swimming. There were also some rude snorkelers that did not listen to the charter employee's instructions and affected seeing the fish as well since they were chasing them. Been on a few of Viator's excursions and all were 5 stars except this one. If you don't like long bus rides look into a different way to get to Key West from Miami and then book the excursions.
Response from the operator: Good afternoon Kym_W, thank you so much for your feedback. Yes the seating on the buses are first come first serve. I will check on the Catamaran boats to make sure they are all running and will ask for a report if there are any ones that are out on Maintenance so we can know ahead of time. Thank you so much for that information. Please have a wonderful day.

Team was nice. Time...
Team was nice. Time planning was good. Didn’t get to snorkel due to the weather so I advise to buy without snorkel and if weather is nice buy it on the bus.
Response from the operator: Good evening Amit_G, Thank you for your feedback. I am so sorry that you could not do the excursion due to the weather. Please contact our office if you did not get a chance to replace it with something else. Thank you again and have a great evening.

Gray Line Always Gives Quality Tours!
I did the "Sail and Snorkel Adventure in Key West from Miami", 7am to nearly 10pm. Due to high wind, we were informed the day before that we could not snorkel. However, the drive to Key West went as planned. They really went above and beyond to make it right, offering alternatives and even at the last minute, found a company (Sebago) that took us to snorkeling! I've taken Gray Line in several cities and they have always given me quality tours. They are trusted!

The crew was very warm friendly and highly knowledgeable at sea. Drinks after the snorkel was non stop. I would highly recommend this to my family and friends.

Why this scores 47
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Key West Sail and Snorkel with Hotel Transportation from Miami: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Miami.
How much does Key West Sail and Snorkel with Hotel Transportation from Miami cost?
+
Prices start at $119 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Miami usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Key West Sail and Snorkel with Hotel Transportation from Miami take?
+
Plan for about 15 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Miami is not rushed.
Is Key West Sail and Snorkel with Hotel Transportation from Miami worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 47 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.4/5 across 94 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Miami, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Key West Sail and Snorkel with Hotel Transportation from Miami?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Key West Sail and Snorkel with Hotel Transportation from Miami suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 15-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Key West Sail and Snorkel with Hotel Transportation from Miami?
+
Around 33 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Miami can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Miami and add a light layer if any part of the 15-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Key West Sail and Snorkel with Hotel Transportation from Miami start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Miami within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Miami?
+
Miami splits between the water and the neighbourhoods. Biscayne Bay boat tours, Key Biscayne snorkelling and Everglades airboats cover the first, while Wynwood mural walks, Little Havana food crawls and South Beach deco tours cover the second. We rank Everglades operators carefully: many depart from Miami but the good ones run their own boats rather than reselling seats. On Outty we rank every Miami experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 2 hrs Miami Private Boat with Cooler, Ice, Bluetooth Stereo, Little Havana Food and Walking Tour in Miami, Miami: 2 Hour Private Yacht Cruise. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Miami?
+
November to April, dry season, before hurricane and humidity months. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Miami?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
