Fun day
The boat was nice and big and easy to get to. The boat was very safe. We saw dolphins along the way! The first stop was for snorkeling and was very shallow. The water was quite dirty and not many fish to see. People were finding shells. The second spot on Edmonton island was deeper water and some people walked over to where the old town was. Many shells were found here. Very disappointed in the snorkeling.

Amazing Trip - Do not skip this one
We had an absolute blast snorkeling on the Calipso Cat to Egmont Key! Katy and the Captain (I forgot his name, but he was great!). They were fantastic, super friendly, hilarious, professional, and genuinely attentive to everyone on the trip. They made sure everyone was comfortable, got what they wanted out of the trip, and had a great time. The trip was a little over four hours, and we saw SO much along the way. Dolphins, urchins, starfish, and so much more at the spot they took us to snorkel. After snorkeling, we got to explore Egmont Ley, see the ruins, and walk the point while collecting so many cool seashells. It was a perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and fun, and absolutely worth the money. We had such a great experience that I’d go back tomorrow, and I’d definitely bring my kids next time! Highly recommend this adventure!

Very safe and...
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.
Response from the operator: Thank you!

Why this scores 76
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
4 Hour Egmont Key Island Tour With Dolphins & Snorkeling Included: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for St Petersburg.
How much does 4 Hour Egmont Key Island Tour With Dolphins & Snorkeling Included cost?
+
Prices start at $79 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in St Petersburg usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 4 Hour Egmont Key Island Tour With Dolphins & Snorkeling Included take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in St Petersburg is not rushed.
Is 4 Hour Egmont Key Island Tour With Dolphins & Snorkeling Included worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 148 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in St Petersburg, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 4 Hour Egmont Key Island Tour With Dolphins & Snorkeling Included?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 4 Hour Egmont Key Island Tour With Dolphins & Snorkeling Included suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 4 Hour Egmont Key Island Tour With Dolphins & Snorkeling Included?
+
Around 52 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in St Petersburg can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in St Petersburg and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 4 Hour Egmont Key Island Tour With Dolphins & Snorkeling Included start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central St Petersburg within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in St Petersburg?
+
St Petersburg pairs beach time with a dense arts district: Dali Museum entry, mural walking tours, clear-kayak paddles through mangrove tunnels and boat runs out to Egmont Key and Shell Key. On Outty we rank every St Petersburg experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Clear Kayak Tour of Shell Key Preserve and Tampa Bay Area, St. Petersburg Jungle Prada Site History Tour, Island Sunset and Skyway Light Show - 3hr Boat Cruise in St. Pete. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit St Petersburg?
+
October to April, before the summer heat and afternoon storms. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in St Petersburg?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
