Travel to REEF in Key Largo for an expedition that combines the best of the Florida Keys with hands-on ocean adventure and real conservation impact. Based at the REEF Ocean Exploration Center for Marine Conservation, your group will explore North America’s only living coral barrier reef while learning from expert staff through snorkeling or diving, fish identification, mangrove ecology, lionfish investigations, endangered species activities, and creative marine science experiences. These expeditions are more than a trip—they let participants become citizen scientists, contribute data to a global marine life database, and take part in meaningful work that helps protect ocean ecosystems. With options from one to five days and packages that include programming, meals, transportation, and in many cases lodging, REEF offers an inspiring, educational, and memorable group travel experience for schools, colleges, clubs, families, and retreats.
