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.

Wonderful Experience!!

Beth_G, Jun 2026
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!

An Amazing Coastal Experience From Start to Finish

Maria_F, Jun 2026
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!

Wonderful time!

We had a blast and will be doing this again! John and Jenna were very fun and knowledgeable! Kid friendly. Make sure to take water, a snack and sun screen.

Worth the cost & time

Sujeit_C, May 2026
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.

Best experience I’ve ever had in Florida

Brittany_A, May 2026
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

Wonderful

Meetu_G, Dec 2025
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.

No Trip

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

Egmont Key Island felt like a private getaway!!

George_Z, Oct 2025
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!

No others compete with hospitality!

Jon_K, Aug 2025
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.

Cool trip for the fam!

William_S, Aug 2025
Solid value, Besides the beauty of the destinations on this trip the guides made sure we were able interact with various sea life. Even when conditions were challenging they went above and beyond finding the right spots to explore. The dolphins were a lil shy until the end but it made the trip into the marina more fun.

Definitely worth the price!

Christina_H, Aug 2025
The crew was super nice and interactive. It was a nice boat ride filled with lots of dolphin sightings and two separate snorkeling locations. Exploring the island looking for turtles, the perfect shells and beautiful clear water was amazing. You get a lot for the very reasonable price. I highly recommend!!! There’s something for everyone at almost any age.

Recommend if you come to St Peat

MI_G, Jul 2025
Friendly staffs. Easy to find the boat. There is a bathroom on the boat in case. Bring picnic food so you can enjoy more.

What a great experience...

William_S, Jul 2025
What a great experience for my family. We had never snorkeled before. And we all loved it. There was no instruction on how to snorkel. We all just had to figure it out on our own. It once we did, what a fun experience.

Not Gilligan’s three hour tour…

Amy_A, Jul 2025
This trip is nothing short of amazing. Seriously considering taking the tour again before we leave to go back home. We were able to see beautiful wildlife, the island was so much fun to explore; and the Captain and First Mate were so much fun to travel with . Everyone should make time for this tour.

Amazing Experience!!

Megan_D, Jul 2025
We saw a momma and baby dolphin before we even left the main area! The snorkeling was fun and we had an amazing time :)

Fun day

Lisa_B, Jul 2025
We really enjoyed the tour. Fun boat ride. Saw a mother and baby dolphin. Snorkeling was cool. The 90 minutes spent at Edgemont Key state park was a nice stop. We really enjoyed exploring and swimming. I thought the length of it was perfect. Highly recommend as a nice way to spend the morning.

Great tour of Egmont Island

Great trip and great crew family really enjoyed it. They delayed the trip so rain could pass by and that was great.

Amazing trip.

David_D, Jun 2025
The captain was hilarious while being very informative. He stopped any time we seen dolphins or manatees and have us plenty of time to check out the amazing beach.
