Always fun to feed these big fellas. Watch the pelicans. They are nasty rascals and will steal your fish. read more

Came here to feed the fishies!!!! Birds are pretty aggressive --- stole 5-6 fish total (from 4 buckets of maybe 30 total fish) ..... The fish are MASSIVE!! 5-6 feet long (some of them).. Lost my hat due to the strong winds ... (got it back). Not sure how I felt about the cleanliness of the restaurant and we didn't ~eat~ there but 10/10 recommend stopping by. read more

We only did the tarpon feeding. The tarpen were cool, the pelicans were annoying, but it was definitely worth the stop.

My 10 year old daughter loved feeding the Tarpon. As a bonus a sand shark showed up too

A good place to feed the Tarpons. This is my first time here. I normally go to the other place.You buy a bucket and it has little cut up fish inside. The workers are friendly and helpful. They charge you a fee to use the marina per person plus the bucket of fish if you want to feed them. Then you go to the marina behind them and feed them. They have large Tarpons. The fish will jump. It is a cool experience feeding them and a little scary because of there large size but worth doing. The experience is not expensive but it is addictive. There are Pelicans at the marina and they are not afraid of people to my surprise. They just walk around the people like nothing, no fear. They are cute and want to be fed too. You are not supposed feed them. They can get aggressive. I had a great time taking pictures. They have places to wash your hands all around and hand sanitizers. I for one am so glad they did. The place is near a restaurant and a bar. There are other things to do here. This marina is located at a great location. read more

Tarpon feeding at Robbie's is an absolute hoot. You pay something like $2 to get in and like four to six for a bucket of fish and holy crap, it is a must try experience. The dock is full of tarpon, some of them are as big as sharks and they are very hungry. On some days 2,000 people will roll in through the place and feed the tarpon and they keep on coming for more. I had a lot of fun feeding them and took some great footage of them. Pro tip, you slow-mo for some great shots. And what else can I say, you go to a dock and feed fish to some bigger fish and they jump up and nibble on your hand as they get it. They don't have teeth but you may get some scratches here and there any tiny bit of blood but oh my God it's totally worth it. Really fun to do before you go do some snorkeling or jet skiing with them which I highly recommend. read more

I am glad that my hand still intact after feeding the live tarpon in the wild :). This is a good dare devil act to try. Robbie feeding the tarpon place is unique and a must visit place in Keys. It located at mile marker 77 at Islamorada Island. It just located west of the bridge at Lower Matecumbe Key. The sign will show you where the feeding will be. A bucket of fish for feeding is $3.17. Walk at the dock to see is $1 per person. It is a good fun less than $6 per couple. A few rules that must watch out. 1. Never put any part of your body in the water. 2. Never try to feed the pelicans, they bite. I walk over the dock and many tarpons swim below. It range from 3 feet to 5 feet long. The tarpon do not have teeth. It bite but will not get hurt. You grab the tail of fish bait and dip slightly in the water and leave it 3inches to 6 inches above the water. The excitement come when they get out of the water and snatch the fish from your hand. Sometimes their mouth touch your hand which make this exciting. It is an incredible experience to feed the tarpon out of the wild. It was a great fun. read more

One of the best cheap thrills that the Keys has! Buying that bucket of fish for $3 and walking over to the dock while you're overlooking loads of tarpon swarming the water underneath is definitely an easy way to have some fun. You'll be impressed on how high the tarpon jump to grab the fish from his hands. It's a quick stop heading south on Overseas Highway into the middle Keys that is sure to put a smile on your face. It's great for the whole family or even a date. Just make sure to wash your hands really well a few times after before touching your face. They rent jetskis here as well and have boat charter trips available for a relaxing and fun day out on the water. It can get crowded sometimes on busy weekends but parking is free so come snag a spot early. Every time I'm in the area, I try to pass by for a few minutes and feel like a kid again. read more

This is a cool pit stop in Islamorada where you can hand feed the tarpon for a cheap $3 for a bucket of fish. I also saw a sting ray, nurse shark, and other cool tropical fish. Now these tarpon are HUGE and rightfully so they get hand fed all day and there are so many of them it's amazing. If you are daring enough you can dangle the fish over the water close to the tarpon and they will jump out of the water for the bait. The first time I did it, it made me shriek like a little girl LOL and then laugh uncontrollably, so this is fun for all ages haha! There are also little shops with jewelry, clothes, and other key west souvenir stuff. You can rent wave runners and also grab a bite to eat at the onsite restaurant. The parking is free and it is a fun and cheap stop to do something unique in the keys. read more

This was incredibly fun! We were suggested by Dave at concierge in amara cay to come here and do tarpon feeding. For $5 you get 2 admissions and a bucket of fish to throw at the tarpon. There's tons of them and also other wildlife like Pelicans and herons. We had a great experience and after it started raining we ran in to the bar, and watched the storm. Def an awesome thing to do rain or shine! Def recommend it esp if you have kids they'll be delighted! read more

Tarpon Feeding - Pelican mafia - Local Flavor Near Me - Islamorada, Florida

This is a great stop if your are driving down to Key West. We stopped and had a great lunch with excellent service right by the docks. There was a live band playing and the kids went crazy feeding the tarpon. The tarpon feeding was probably the cheapest thing you'll do with kids anywhere in the keys. My kids are still talking about it. They enjoyed this better than Theater of the Seas. Can't wait to go back. read more

This place was one of my favorite stops on our trip through the keys. We went ahead and bought some fish to feed to the tarpon. (One bucket wasn't enough for us) Not only did we have a great time feeding the tarpon and watching them go crazy over the food, we had the opportunity to see beautiful pelicans, several sting rays and a nurse shark while we were there! When visiting be sure to walk all the way through you never know what you might see. :) read more

Just here to eat, and we saw just the deck on our left, wich selling small bucket of fish! For 2$ we take one, go on the dock and we can ffed huge tarpon with hands! It's really a great experience, almost that we never saw a tarpon before! FR: Nous nous arrêté là par hasard pour déjeuner, et sur le ponton à gauche nous voyons un manège de petits seaux, et les personnes nourrissaient à la main des tarpons. Quelle expérience fantastique de pouvoir nourrir comme cela ces géants sportifs! Le seau est un peu cher à 2$, mais l'expérience est unique! read more

Tarpon Feeding - Feeding the tarpoon - Local Flavor Near Me - Islamorada, Florida

Pretty neat spot if your driving through this area. Gives a discount to the Boy Scouts (just down the road from Sea Base). The fish will absolutely take your entire hand in their mouth which must be why the place advises that you lay down - presumably so you don't get pulled in. Not cheap...but hey, your on vacation. read more

Tarpon Feeding - Local Flavor Near Me - Islamorada, Florida

Fun for a quick stop, but man you have to watch out. The pelicans are aggressive and I was nervous one would bite me while I was distracted by the tarpons. The tarpons themselves... well one got about a foot of my arm into its mouth and left scrapes all down my arm. Another guy there had some pretty bad scrapes too. Don't let your kids do this folks.. read more

Robbie's is a great date idea ! It's also fun for all ages! Even if you're too scared to fed the fish like myself it's still extremely fun to watch !!! Fish buckets are cheap 3.50 per bucket they do charge entrance though I believe it's $1 and something!! There's plenty of hungry fish and they're huge ! Also staff is very kind and knowledgeable They have a cute little village looking thing where they sell you souvenirs and jewelry :) all very pretty and handmade! They also rent boats and wave runners there! PARKING IS FREE ! And if you get hungry they have a great seafood restaurant with a beautiful view by the water. Probably the best $3 bucks I've spent! So worth it read more

My husband LOVED doing this. The man chasing the Pelicans away was knowledgable, he told us about the tarpon and how it's illegal to catch them. He had a long net that he had to chase the Pelicans away with. He accidentally hit me in the head with it, he apologized profusely, just be aware while walking around. The Pelicans were biting people as they walked by (which gave me a chuckle). The tarpon were very cool to see. My husband was giddy like a little kid feeding and watching them. read more

I loved Robbie's tarpon feeding! You get a bucket of fish for $3 and get to go on the pier to feed the tarpon. There was a live band playing when we went which added to the cool keys vibe. There's also a restaurant & some little souvenir shops around the pier so there's plenty to see and do. Had an awesome Sunday visiting this place - highly recommend! read more

Tarpon Feeding - Local Flavor Near Me - Islamorada, Florida

Bit crowded at times but neat to see. $1 a person to see tarpon and $3+ for bucket of fish to feed tarpon. This is also a great spot so see Pelicans if you've never have. There are also little shops to buy souvenirs and others things you don't need but want. Prices vary read more

I am a Keys veteran, but for some insane reason never visited till now. What great fun! These tarpon are huge. The Pelicans add to the excitement. The small shopping area is great to peruse.

Robbie's tarpon feeding - first time for us but we will definitely return. The tarpon are huge and will eat from your hand if you are brave enough. Kids come in for free - $1 per person to go onto the pier and $3 per bucket of fish - plan on buying more than one bucket because the kids will be obsessed when they see the fish. read more

A MUST DO!! Please, don't tease them, a little patience will have them eating out of your hands. :) read more

very fun feeding the tarpon, it really is amazing how fast they are and how big some of them have grown to (6')! you get a small bucket of fish for $3 and change so it's a great cheap thing to do. there are pelicans who try to catch you off guard and steal your fish, like one did to my hubby, and that was hysterical. the only thing that sucks is when people throw the fish up into the air and the flocks of seagulls are swarming overhead bcuz then they are crapping everywhere... I don't even want to hear it about good luck... but this is an idiot problem not the fault of the place. after you're done there is a tub of soapy water and a house to clean off your hands. *these tarpon arrive seasonally, they are not "kept" in that area by the Robbies conglomerate there, but I guess when they know where they'll get fed they keep coming back. *$1 fee to just walk out on the pier and look at the tarpon. read more

Great place to go with the kids. It's neat being able to feed the fish and seeing them up close. read more

Seems touristic and blah but turned out to be great fun! We could enjoy feeding huge tarpons and observe the birds omnipresent around the dock. We had so much fun when a smart pelican came from behind straight to our bucket and stole our fish while we observed the tarpons. Really neat! And incredibly affordable. read more

This is an amazing experience for people visiting the area. The Tarpon are always hungry and it is worth the few dollars it cost to feed the magnificent fish. read more

SO MUCH FUN! We came here on our way back from the Keys. We stopped for dinner at the restaurant aside it (which had great food) and fed the tarpon. You pay $2 entry fee and $3 for a bucket of fish. Pelicans are everywhere and dying to snag your fish, so if you're afraid of birds, stay clear because they ARE NOT afraid of you. So much fun for families! Definitely recommend. read more

There were not hungry when we got there, but boy oh boy are they huge!

A very fun and unique experience. I have a feeling that we will be back the next time we're passing through

Must do!!! A real hidden treasure spot. The restaurant is meh.... But the tarpon experience is just great! Ideal for kids and adults!! Take a Sponi with your iPhone and awe everyone! read more
