The 10 Best Things to do Adventurous in Key West, Florida (FL)

July 6, 2021 Carley Gatson

Does time ever pass in the Florida Keys? Everyone and everything in Key West seems to go at its own pace, right down to the ice melting slooooowly in your margarita glass. Of course, it’s not all limes and leisure – Key West is known as the “Winter White House” because of its appeal to visiting U.S. presidents, and the island has been home to literary greats like Ernest Hemingway and Tennessee Williams. The diving here is phenomenal, as is the kid-friendly Florida Keys Eco-Discovery Center.

Danger Charters

When you sail with Danger Charters, you sail to another world and time; to a place where the wildlife is still "wild" and your interaction with nature is intimate and authentic. You feel as if you've stepped back in time, back to the days when the Florida Keys backcountry was home to traditional, shallow-draft sailing craft, captained by local water men who had grown up sailing and navigating the notorious shallows and challenging narrow channels of the Florida Keys.

Dancing Dolphin Spirits Charters with Captain Victoria Impallomeni

Gliding over the azure waters of the Florida Keys Wildlife Refuges, called the backcountry, we interact with the wild life especially the birds and dolphins. Teaching environmental marine science while sharing antidotes from my lifetime on these waters creates an atmosphere for conversation. It is my pleasure to help you to understand and appreciate how you can make a difference in the lives of all you see. Visiting in a quiet respectful way, you become one with the life around you. It is a very stress relieving time as you remove any fears and replace them with knowledge as you have a" dolphin day for a human". Enjoy being supported my mother ocean as you snorkel with all of the dolphins friends, the corals, fish and turtles. Explore the hidden pathways inside the mangroves as you experience evolved kayaking which means no paddles, no sunburn, just quiet shaded touring of the many islands surrounding Key West. 44 years of interaction with now 13 generations of dolphin is an honor.
