There is a lot do in the Florida Keys, especially in Islamorada, the fishing capital of the world. Here are some suggestions of what you can do besides your swim with dolphins…

Miss Islamorada docks there which is a party boats $60 for full day of fishing includes rods, tackle, and bait. Bring your own lunch and drinks

My favorite is Robbies Marina, I have been going there for many years and it is a lot of fun! I love to rent Kayaks from there and go out to the ocean on a calm day and paddle to the local state park which is an island off the shore.

During your Swimming with Dolphins Florida Keys program you can do this before or after your dolphin program, you can see all the shows at theater of the sea. The shows consist of the dolphin show, sea lion show, the parrot show, and park exhibits. You can easily spend 2 hours enjoying all the shows and exhibits. You will get a map and show schedule upon check in for your dolphin swim.  Also, there is a private beach at the dolphin facility, where you can sun bath or swim or snorkel with the tropical fishes. This is all included with your entrance price.

Another thing you can do in the area is enjoy the great food.  Here a small list of some of my favorites….
