About this experience
Tour and snorkel Beautiful and Historic Egmont Key! This runs on Bad Dog boat! We offer a fun educational experience the entire family can enjoy. Captain will give you a history narration of the island when we approach the island. Snorkel the ruins or grass flats, they both have unique differences (SNORKELING GEAR INCLUDED). Excellent customer service. Our boats are nice!!, Our Captain's specialize in encouraging the Dolphin to jump behind the boat. This is not a guarantee to see wild dolphin however we almost always see them. Other wildlife is prevalent in the era, MANATEES, sea turtles, fish, land turtles, and of course birds. All of our tours are semi-private to private group charters. Awesome location with better quality equipment than our competitors. Minium requirement is 4 tickets.

Poor service and asked to go in poor weather
We will not book with this to our company again. SEE PICTURES FOR THE WEATHER. WE WERE EXPECTED TO GET ON A BOAT AND GO SNORKELING IN. We booked for a 9:00 AM tour and knew that it might need to be rebooked because the weather was bad. However, the tour guy told us that we needed to rebook because we were the only two people on the tour. We asked if there were other times available that day and waited almost 2 hours before they said that we could go at 1:00 PM At that time the weather was still not good and so we told them that we had made other plans and asked if we could cancel and get a refund. They said they were going out anyway, but the weather was rainy and the ocean was choppy from 1 to 3 PM. We asked again if we could get a refund never heard back from them. The communication and customer service with this company is unprofessional. We do not recommend at all.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback. We would like to clarify the timeline of events. You originally booked a 9:00 AM tour, which did need to be rescheduled. You agreed to move to our 1:00 PM departure and your seats were secured. Later, you notified us that you wished to cancel because you had made alternative personal plans. Our captain closely monitors marine forecasts to ensure safety. While conditions were overcast, the ocean was safe, and the 1:00 PM tour departed and operated successfully. Because your spots were held and the tour went out, this fell under our standard cancellation and no-show policy. We were internally discussing a courtesy refund for you until this review was posted. We wish you the best in your future travels.

Highly recommended for families, large groups, and anyone wanting a personalized snorkeling adventure
We recently rented two boats with Captains Tim and Kevin for a large family group trip to Egmont Key for a snorkeling tour, and it was one of the best experiences we’ve had in Florida! From the very beginning, the booking process was smooth and the captains were incredibly accommodating. They tailored the entire day to our big group—making sure everyone had plenty of space, adjusting the itinerary to keep the kids engaged, and providing clear safety instructions without being overly strict. The boats were clean, well-equipped, and comfortable, which made a huge difference with so many of us on board. The snorkeling at Egmont Key was absolutely amazing. Captain Tim and Kevin knew all the best spots and shared fun facts that kept everyone excited. What really stood out was how kid-friendly the whole trip was—our children had a blast jumping in the water, spotting fish, and exploring the island. The captains had so much patience and made sure the slower-paced explorers and the energetic kids all had a great time.

5 Stars Absolutely Fantastic
5 stars – Absolutely fantastic experience! We had the best time on our Charter Finders trip in Florida. The weather was perfect, we saw tons of dolphins playing in the water, and we spent time exploring beautiful Shell Key. The captain was awesome — knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure everyone had a great time. Everything from start to finish was smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable day on the water! We'll definitely be back next time we're in the area.

It was a beautiful day...
It was a beautiful day for a boat ride. We saw some dolphins and Kevin was great at slowing down so we could see them up close. It was so hot, we did not go exploring on Egmont Key per se but loved just hanging out in the clear water around it.

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Egmont Key Snorkeling Dolphin Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for St Petersburg.
How much does Egmont Key Snorkeling Dolphin Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $95 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 Egmont Key Snorkeling Dolphin Tour 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 Egmont Key Snorkeling Dolphin Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 107 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable family friendly in St Petersburg, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Egmont Key Snorkeling Dolphin Tour?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Egmont Key Snorkeling Dolphin Tour 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 Egmont Key Snorkeling Dolphin Tour?
+
Around 37 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 Egmont Key Snorkeling Dolphin Tour 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.
