John and Tanner were amazing captains. They were fully engaged with all the guests and very knowledgable about the tour. We saw tons of dolphins, a bird sanctuary, and a manatee. Also found a couple of cool shells. We had a great time and would recommend to anyone.

Very safe and informative. Plenty of room on the boat. Doesn’t mention it but you can bring a cooler with food and drinks along with adult beverages. They do have plenty of water on the boat as well.

What an amazing experience, from the captions being totally cool, knowledgeable and super friendly, to the dolphin sightings, island shelling and snorkeling it was magical. A day our family will never forget

This is what we love to hear! We love when families enjoy their day with us and make unforgettable memories! Thank you!
It was a lovely trip out to the island and snorkeling with the family. We saw a tortoise in its natural habitat and tons of fish while snorkeling.

Thanks so much!
We had the BEST time! Jen and John were just the sweetest and the whole ride was beautiful. We saw baby dolphins! The snorkeling was ok, nothing to write home about.. the boat ride and overall experience was just great!

Thanks so much!
We booked this trip last minute when our originally planned excursion (which was a similar type trip) was suddenly cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances. We were SO pleasantly surprised at how great this trip was! We learned quickly that it’s a family run business and we had siblings Jenn and John as our guide/captain. They were incredibly friendly, and knowledgeable about the area and sea life. Captain John even changed up the plan due to big waves and found us the perfect snorkeling spot with more sand dollars than we’ve ever seen! He also took the time to stop for dolphin and cow nose sting rays and would turn the boat so everyone got a good view. What a great happy “accident” we came upon booking this trip!
Response from Host, Jul 2026
WOW! We're so glad you found us! Thanks for your kind compliments and fabulous review!
It was a beautiful day. The captin was very informative about the area and sea life. We saw lots of fish while snorkeling and even saw a few manatees. On the way back to the dock we saw a few families of dolphin. It was a nice experience.

Thank you!
The tour guides are super nice and adapted to ocean conditions to make sure we had the best experience possible. We saw tons of dolphins and other wildlife, they also had a fun touch tank on the boat where we were able to see critters before gently releasing them. Definitely a fun activity for the whole family!

Thank you so much for the great review!
It was wonderful! The sights were beautiful and the tour guides were extremely friendly and entertaining! We got to see dolphins, snorkel and hold or see different animals. We went to an island that I didn’t realize had all of these historic ruins and felt like a safari adventure!

Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you!
Highly recommend this trip for a great experience and afternoon on the ocean. First time snorkeling, loved it! Plenty of time to snorkel and to enjoy the island. Captain John and Katie were super friendly, helpful, and entertaining - it felt like they were our own family and were lots of fun! John told us where to snorkel and some tips to seeing fish and went into the water himself to view and tell us what he saw and where. We saw dolphins and a manatee which were so thrilling to see. They even brought hermit crabs, sea urchin, and interesting shells on board for everyone to see before placing back into the ocean which we enjoyed. Totally worth going on this trip!

Great for all ages. Very knowledgeable guides. The island itself has something for everyone. Lots of fun
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Yes! The island has something for everyone! Beautiful beaches, snorkeling, shells, fish, wildlife, forts and hiking trails. I know I'm missing a few other great things too. We love Egmont Key! Thank you for the great review!

Thank you for the 5 stars!
We had an amazing time on this island tour—easily one of the highlights of our trip! The boat ride itself was incredible, especially getting to see dolphins up close in their natural habitat. We stopped at some really fun snorkeling spots with clear water and lots of marine life, and the shell hunting was a blast—so many unique finds!
Exploring Egmont Key on our own was such a cool experience, with beautiful scenery and so much history to take in at your own pace.
A huge shoutout to our captains, John and Jennifer, who truly made the trip unforgettable. They went above and beyond to make sure everyone was having a great time and shared so many interesting facts about the marine life and the different places we passed along the way. You can tell they really love what they do.
Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun, relaxing, and memorable day on the water!

Thank you!
John and Katie were a lot of fun, really knowledgable, and answered all of oir questions as they came up. They did a wonderful job of showing us around the harbor areas and kept our safety in mind. They did their best to stay on schedule but didn't make us feel rushed. I can't wait to come back and do this again.

Thank you so much for your great review!
Hands down best experience of my life !
From snorkeling to swimming to finding shark teeth , walking the island at egmont key . captain john and his sister ( I’m so forgetful with names ) were so informative as far as the history of the island and all the different fun facts about the entire trip! Sooooo freaking cool . Seen so many dolphins and manatees up close . Felt safe and in good hands from start to finish. They even saved my favorite hat the flew off my head mid travels 🤣 I will be returning in 2 weeks and me and my bestie and our two 11 yr olds will be booking another 4 hour egmont island and snorkeling adventure! Thank yall so much
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thanks Brittany! We look forward to seeing you again soon!
It was great experience. Kids had a lot of fun!!! Water was cold at this time of the year, but the kids still went in and were able to see star fish, urchin, etc. Will do it again next year.
This was canceled at the last minute we were already 20 minutes away from meeting point. We understand things come up but when you're traveling 2 hours to make the trip it was very disappointing
John & Tanner were great guides. We saw lots of dolphins! Egmont Key Island is only accessible by boat. I hiked to the lighthouse and saw lots of wildlife. Collect some shells too!
What had an amazing time and for 4hrs it was money well spent. We saw plenty of dolphins and wild life. I would skip snorkeling at the rocks and do it more at the island u see bigger fish that way and find a ton of the good shells doing so! The island was so much fun and wish we could spend all day there exploring and shell hunting. Highly recommend for all ages. There was a little girl in the group on the boat and captain let her drive the boat back. Little things like that show they care and they want everyone specially little ones to have a great time and memories they won’t forget. Will definitely be going back again next time we visit Florida.
