Take in the magnificent scenes of one Florida’s best snorkeling spots near the Blue Heron Bridge & Peanut Island, one of the top shore dive destinations in the world! With it's easy beach access the tour is accessible for all swimming & snorkeling levels. The incredible biodiversity is outstanding and guests will spot parrotfish, spade fish, angel fish, sting rays, octopus & much more! Enjoy the peacefulness of the underwater world and the wellness benefits that come with it.
Our experienced instructors, will guide you on a tour of the world-famous snorkel trail, just south of Phil Foster Park’s beach (recently voted the worlds #1 shore diving spot!). The reef area is approximately 200 feet from shore and remains protected from boat traffic. The site’s inland location is protected by barrier islands, creating a calm, nursery like environment. Popular for even advanced SCUBA divers but perfect for beginners, the trail is a true gem that is teeming with colorful sea life.
We are a small business, so we assure you that our customers will receive our utmost attention and respect. We specialize in small group environments where safety and satisfaction are prioritized.
Additionally, as most of our guides are freediving professionals, we have a different perspective on snorkeling (believe it or not, snorkeling is a form of Freediving!) We believe deeply in the health benefits (both physical and mental) associated with snorkeling/freediving and incorporate elements of Freediving (such as breathing and equalization) into our snorkel tours for any guests who are interested in taking their skills to the next level!
Plan to arrive a few minutes early as parking can reach capacity near peak times. Upon arrival, a brief introduction and overview will be held, guests will be fitted for snorkel gear and oriented with the layouts of the reef. Your snorkel guide will join you and point out tropical fish, coral formations, turtles, stingrays, seahorses and maybe even a fascinating octopus.
Must be at least 12 years old with adequate swimming skills and must be able to swim at least 200 feet comfortably. We can accommodate younger snorkelers when you book the option "Private Snorkeler."
If you have no experience snorkeling and cannot swim 200 feet comfortably, please book a private snorkel tour so we can give you one on one instruction.
