  • Who should I contact to change my booking, cancel, complain or ask a question?
    You should contact the business you booked your activity with. However, if you have an unsatisfactory experience please send an email so the quality of the businesses offered can be maintained. Egregious accusations that are substantiated or multiple serious complaints will result in that business being removed.
  • What is tipping etiquette for the captain, crew and tour guides?
    It is customary to tip 20% in cash. Sometimes cash apps are accepted such as Zelle, Venmo or Cash App
  • Is Florida Keys Ocean Adventures.com a Keys based business?
    Yes! It is based in Key West, FL.
  • Where should I go to start my activity?
    Directions will often be in the description when you click "book" and sometimes in the confirmation email sent to you by the business you booked with. If you are unsure where to go please call the business.
  • What should I not bring on to the boat with me?
    Please do not bring spray aerosol sun screen or non mineral based reef safe sunscreen. The boat gets slippery from spray sunscreen, which is a safety concern. Non reef safe sunscreen kills the fragile marine life and harms your skin with chemicals linked to cancer. Many captains also advise against bringing glass on to their boats for safety reasons.

Take the Keys Home 

When you return home get your daily dose of the Keys with the Viva the Keys SeaCam. This lifestyle brand celebrates the Keys while funding affordable housing initiatives to help the Keys workforce, including captains and crew vital to the local economy, remain in their communities.
