Avoid the crowds and enjoy more time in the water with our private snorkeling tours. We leave from the Tierra Verde Marina Resort in St Pete, and we take you to Egmont Key, Shell Key, and Outback Key for exceptional snorkeling, swimming, shelling, sand dollars, and dolphin sightings.
Egmont Key, an outer barrier island and historic military fortress from the late 1800s (formerly Fort Dade), offers some of the best snorkeling in St Pete. Its artificial reef—known as the Sunken Ruins—features shallow, 9-foot-deep waters that are often clear enough to see straight to the bottom, creating the perfect environment for exploring Florida’s marine life.
The snorkeling tour continues on to Shell Key and Outback Key, where you’ll explore clear, shallow waters filled with shells, sand dollars, and vibrant marine life. As we cruise through the protected nature preserves, you may spot dolphins, manatees, rays, sea turtles, and a wide range of seasonal shorebirds.
Our smaller boats allow us to reach secluded snorkeling areas that the large commercial tour boats can’t access, giving you a quieter and more intimate experience. This St Pete private half-day (4½-hour) snorkeling adventure provides more in-water time, personalized attention, and the freedom to explore at your own pace with your dedicated captain and crew.
We also offer a semi-private 2-hour Dolphin Cruise to Shell Key, or our Private Sandbar Party Cruise for the more adult crowds.
