You must remember that there is no guarentee where either trip will go to snorkel and kayak. They will pick locations based on the conditions on the day you go and even, perhaps, on the day before. But Sebago sails to the reef to snorkel and their first choice is usually Sand key, a nice place because there are fingers of coral radiating out from a central location. You can snorkel along the fingers and because it is protected it is where many smaller, colorful fish are. Second choise is usually Eastern Dry Rocks if it is windy as this is more protected, but it isn't as good a location. Sebago almost always goes to Mule Key to kayak.
Danger will usually go to Cottrell Key or One Tree Key, either of which is very good, but Cottrell Key is where you will almost always find rays. I once snorkeled with a school of rays. Creepy! And Danger might go to Mule Key to kayak but if conditions are really good they will go to either Woman or Man Key. These are the best as the water surrounding these keys is very shallow and each has a small beach. If you go to these the guides will beach the kayaks and you can explore for a while.
This is a kayak's eye view of people boarding the kayaks on a Danger trip. That's Danger's Prize).
