The snorkeling is the best I have ever experienced! lots of beautiful marine life and the staff was extremely helpful and polite. Definately take a waterproof camera! We rented kayaks upon returning from the snorkeling trip and ventured through the mangroves where we stumbled upon a MANATEE that swam around us for 20 minutes...SOOO NEAT!

Nice place to snorkel
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/06/08
Be sure to arrive early and make reservations. It was very busy when we went. The snorkeling is pretty good there. It does take a while to get to the reefs.
We did both the glass bottom boat and the snorkeling trips. The glass bottom boat is crowded and if you are not strategic you won't get a seat on it. However, the views of the reef are spectacular and would be good for all ages. The snorkeling is probably more condition dependent. We went on a slightly choppy morning. The boat wasn't ...
This site is run under private contract from The Florida Gov't. It is a very well run service with extra good and considerate employees. We rented all out gear and appreciated the quality of the wet suits and helpful staff.
The reef is 3-4 miles off shore. About 30 of us all went out on this boat and then spent about 90 minutes face down ...

great place to take the younger kids for a nice swim, learn to snorkel. Lots of great things to look at under the surface, lot of fun for everyone
Hello, we visited here 1 times in 2 different visits. The beaches are pretty uncomfortable. You must take a trip out to the reefs, there is no real snorkeling without going off shore. We took Quicksliver out of the Holiday Inn Marina. They were lovely, friendly and knowledgable. The service in the part was crowded, over priced and no where near as nice if you go elsewhere.

IF YOU DIVE-CAMP SOMEWHERE ELSE!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/30/06
when we arrived to John Pennekamp, we found out first of all they were the ONLY place in the Keys that does NOT spray for mosquitoes. What a mess! Besides the infestation, the people were rude. the dive shop was unprofessional and was worried more about visiting with each other than helping divers get their tanks filled. Each morning was a guess ...
