Catamaran Sail & Snorkel
Snorkel into Key West's most popular attraction; the reef and crystal-blue waters surrounding our island paradise. For almost three decades visitors and locals alike have chosen Fury Catamarans to snorkel Key West's nearby reef. Your sailing adventure begins as you board one of Fury's state-of-the-art catamarans, part of the largest and most luxurious catamaran fleet in the Florida Keys. Feel the excitement as you sail to North America's only living coral reef, where the wonders of Mother Nature await you. During your trip, unlimited sodas and water will be served. Complimentary beer and wine are served after snorkeling.
Cigars & Rum
Learn to handroll a premium cigar at a factory that has been producing them for decades and sample a selection of rums inspired by the life of Ernest Hemingway. While touring the Hemingway Rum Company distillery, you will discover how the ingredients are sourced and processed to produce a variety of rums that capture the bold spirit of Hemingway. You will then settle in for a tasting of rums, which may include a complex dark one, another finished in a sherry cask and an unusual blonde rum. A short walk will bring you to the family-owned Rodriquez Cigar Factory, the oldest such manufacturer in the Florida Keys. On the eye-opening, behind-the-scenes tour, you will observe the art of hand-rolling a cigar and then try it yourself while enjoying a sample of Cuban coffee. You may be surprised by the skill involved in producing a tightly rolled cigar that burns evenly.

Atlantis Coral Cabanas
Enjoy poolside luxury and privacy as you take a break from your Aquaventure water park experience. Travel to the Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island (approx. 25 min) and your private pool-side cabana located in the Coral Tower section of the resort. Enjoy the day including: guest service host, food and drink service, for purchase, exclusive poolside access, shaded and sunny seating options, personal safe, fan, refrigerator, electric device plug-in ports and private changing area.
Swim With Turtles & Beach Day At Footprints
Meet your guide at the cruise terminal and be escorted to a private boat along with your professionally trained crew. Enjoy an up-close encounter with a thriving population of sea turtles, a fun and enriching experience that will lend great insight into the local marine life. While cruising to the nearby islands, you will pause to snorkel at a coral reef that supports an abundance of brightly colored fish. It will be an enlightening introduction to many of the species that inhabit these crystal-clear waters. Still, nothing quite compares to swimming with the green sea turtles that come in great numbers to Green Cay. You will observe them gracefully paddling by and grazing on beds of sea grass and algae. Unlike other sea turtles, green sea turtles are strict herbivores, and their jaws are finely serrated to help tear vegetation. For a clearer underwater look, snorkeling gear is available. The remaining time will be spent relaxing on a spectacular beach on Rose Island, the long slender oasis that lies due east of Nassau Harbor. Your boat will beach right up to Footprints Bar and Grill where there is a full bar, beach volleyball, cornhole, darts, billiards, karaoke, and music.
