Guided Snorkel Experience in Fort Lauderdale





Description
Since 2014, Mike has conducted over 800 trips on this magnificent section of reef in beautiful Lauderdale by the Sea. NOBODY knows this reef better! This unique spot is only a few minutes swim from shore and consists of hard and soft corals, fantastic colorful sponges, and a wide variety of amazing marine life! No need to spend all day traveling on a boat! Conditions permitting, we see angelfish, parrotfish, blue headed wrasse and sergeant majors on a daily basis. We also often see various types of rays, sea turtles, eels and nurse sharks (NOT dangerous!). From the water we have a great view of the quaint town and historic Anglin's Pier and you will have the opportunity to have your picture taken with them in the background. Mike will show you some of the best spots on the reef and can identify most of the fish you will see, and is a certified and insured Divemaster! This is a personal experience consisting of small groups, usually 4-6 people, with a maximum of 8.

We had a wonderful experience today with Mike! He was extremely patient and made sure to explain everything in detail prior to heading out, and then made sure everyone was safe and under control while on the trip. My teenage daughter had such an amazing experience and partially learned to dive that she is already talking about next time. We saw a nurse shark, parrot fish, angel fish, trumpet fish, puffers, urchin and more. We paid the extra money to have photos taken during our trip and he caught some great pictures. We highly recommend this trip.
Thank you, Ashira! I'm glad you had a wonderful time! Soly is a natural, I'm so happy I was able to introduce her to the underwater world!
What a fantastic time! Mike was super personable and knew everything about the reef, the equipment and the sealife, he made sure to keep everyone together and safe. Oh, and will also take lots of pics above and below the water! We saw tons of beautiful fish and even a nurse shark! Lots of fun, check it out yourself!
Thank you so much, Gena! I'm glad you had a fantastic time
As fresh newlyweds coming off a stressful wedding, we booked this last minute and same day just looking for fun and chill. Mike was able to accommodate us the same day as the weather was great. Mike is super knowledgeable and we couldn't have been in better hands.
Thank you for the great review, I'm glad I was able to accommodate! Readers should note I do get booked sometimes a week or more in advance so please don't expect same day availability.
Can’t recommend enough! Mike was an excellent guide and set us up with everything we needed! My 10 year old was nervous but Mike was great getting him situated and checking in on him. Highly recommend getting the pictures he takes!
Thank you, Sara! I'm glad everyone had a good time and that you are enjoying the photos!
Mike was amazing. We had a great time and he was awesome with our grandkids ages 10 and 12. Highly recommended and we will do it again.
Thank you, Stephen! I'm glad you and the grandkids had a great time!
Mike was so awesome to tour with. Very friendly and easy to communicate with. I went with my mom for our first time and we were both a little nervous; but with mikes knowledge of the reef and the experience he has, we never once felt scared while out in the water. You can tell he really focuses on the safety of his customers. The views were amazing, we got to see many different types of tropical fish, SHARKS, a lobster, different coral, an urchin and even a sting Ray. Afterwards, Mike emailed some professional pictures from our excursion which was great to share with friends and family. The entire experience was so relaxing, even therapeutic and one of the coolest things I’ve ever experienced. Thanks again Mike for sharing with us!
Thank you, Emily! I love to hear my guests say the experience was one of the coolest things they've ever done!
We joined Mike from Snorkel with Mike for an incredible snorkeling adventure in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea! From getting set up to the short walk to the water and the full hour of snorkeling, the whole experience lasted about two hours—and it was absolutely worth it. Mike was so informative, patient, and incredibly helpful with me and my three kids. We had such a blast! Even my 19-year-old son, who’s not easily impressed, hasn’t stopped talking about the fish we saw—especially the nurse shark (which was kind of big, by the way!) and the tarpon. If you’re looking for a snorkel tour guide in the Pompano area, look no further—Mike is your guy. We’re one happy family of five! Huge thanks to Mike for an unforgettable day. And the photos he took for us? Total icing on the cake!
Thank you the great review, Tammy! I love to hear the trip described as "incredible" and "unforgettable"!
I had a great time! There was another person in my group who was a pretty inexperienced swimmer and kind of slowed things down, but Mike was very patient with them and we still got to go around and see everything. I definitely recommend wearing the inflatable life vest if you’re not an experienced swimmer. Also definitely purchase the pictures that Mike takes of you and the wildlife.
Thank you, Meredith! I'm glad you had a great time and are enjoying the photos!
Amazing guide and amazing experience! Saw lots of fish and corral. 10/10 recommend. loved it so much
Thank you, Jordan, I'm glad you had an amazing experience!
I had never snorkeled before but Mike made me feel safe and comfortable. He is an expert on technique and where all the fish hang out. He is kind, patient, and a phenomenal instructor. I had the best time and would immediately book again next time I’m in the area. I cannot recommend him more highly. Also, the photos from the photo package are 100% worth it. Thank you for an awesome experience!
Thank you for the great review, Donna (Mimi)! I'm glad you enjoyed the trip and the photos!
