Upper & Middle Florida Keys — Things to Do

Tarpon Feeding at Robbie's

Experience

Getaway Unpacked Edit

Lean over a rickety dock and hand-feed 100-lb tarpon from a bucket of fish. The quintessential Keys experience in the Upper Keys.

Why It’s Worth Your Time

Robbie's Marina in Islamorada is home to one of the strangest and most joyful wildlife experiences in Florida. For a few dollars, you buy a bucket of baitfish and hold them over the dock while prehistoric 100-lb tarpon leap out of the water to grab them. It sounds absurd. It's spectacular. Go at low tide when the tarpon are thickest.

What Stands Out

  • Hand-feed 100lb tarpon from the dock
  • one of the most unique wildlife encounters in Florida
  • Go at low tide for the best action
  • Combine with the fish stand for the full Robbie's experience
  • Kids absolutely love it
