OVERVIEW

Cruise into the Gulf of America on a catamaran and observe bottlenose dolphins in their natural habitat before snorkeling along several reefs. The catamaran is open-air but with covered areas that allow for uninterrupted views of the dolphins. These highly intelligent aquatic mammals usually travel and hunt in groups called pods. You may be surprised by their speed, grace and agility as they zip through the water, often in the catamaran’s wake. You might also see the dolphins leap acrobatically into the air and hear them whistling and clicking, sounds that they may use as sonar for navigation and finding food. After cruising into shallower water, you will have the opportunity to snorkel along the reefs and isolated coral formations. You may see schools of yellowtail snapper, neon-colored parrot fish, bright red squirrelfish and spotted eagle rays, which at times leap out of the water much like dolphins. Scientists aren’t sure why they leap.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Take in the gorgeous scenery while cruising on a catamaran through the Gulf of America.
• Watch for bottlenose dolphins, which are commonly seen swimming in these waters.
• Observe a remarkable variety of marine life while snorkeling reefs in the shallows.

OVERVIEW

Spend hours zipping around the streets of Key West on a golf cart that is easy to drive and, best of all, easy to park. Golf carts couldn’t be more convenient, which is why so many locals drive them instead of cars. The streets in Key West are somewhat narrow and when traffic is heaviest – which is often when cruise ships are in town – golf carts are ideal for getting around. They allow you to spend less time walking and more time sightseeing. Plus, they are fun to drive, especially since these golf carts are gas-powered with plenty of zip. You will find one that is perfect for your party, whether it is just for yourself or for as many as six people. The rental time is flexible, too. You can rent a golf cart for just 3.5 hours or for up to 5 hours. Either way, it will be a blast.
