My husband and I went on the snorkeling trip to Egmont yesterday. We had a great time. The snorkeling spot they picked was great. Really was an enjoyable day and I would recommend the trip to friends. Professional, safe, fun...

This is our 2nd trip with this crew. Our family is from Iowa and this team never disappoints. So much to see and do. Highly recommended. Thanks for the great experience.

This was a great first time experience snorkeling! The captain extended our tour until we were able to see the dolphins. He is very knowledgeable and would even help people getting shells😁

Overall best snorkeling trip I have been on, great for anyone, beginners and couples especially. Boat trip was enjoyable and the island/snork. spot was much less busy than expected. John was awesome and on point, as well as being very knowledgeable and nice.

My wife and I took a trip with Captain John this past Saturday and had a wonderful time. The ruins of the gun batteries were so cool to scuba dive around, the fish were out in force, and the water temperature was perfect. Captain John was not only entertaining but also very knowledgeable about the surrounding shores and their histories.
We had a great time and getting to see the tortoises and dolphins were some of the highlights of our trip. We would highly recommend you check them out if you are thinking about snorkeling in this area!

Does anyone else collect these lucky sea beans? They can float on the ocean currents for years. If you’re lucky enough to find one, you can shake it next to your ear and hear the dried seed rattle inside. Natures beautiful little lucky charm! We found this one this morning on our Shell Key tour.

I’ve found lots of beautiful lightening whelks, but this is the first one like this! We found it on our tour to Egmont Key while snorkeling. After doing a bit of research, I did discover that this is a subspecies of the knobbed whelk called the Kiener’s whelk. The Kiener’s whelk is known for its swelling in the lower body whorl and its extra large recurved spines. It was a beautiful exciting find but the shell already had an owner and was promptly return to the ocean. Captain Betty
