Wonderful - It was great experience. Kids had a lot of fun!!! Water was cold at this time of the year, but the kids still went in and were able to see star fish, urchin, etc. Will do it again next year.

Egmont Key Island felt like a private getaway!! - John & Tanner were great guides. We saw lots of dolphins! Egmont Key Island is only accessible by boat. I hiked to the lighthouse and saw lots of wildlife. Collect some shells too!

Great 4HR Toor - My wife and I booked this adventure months in advance. Prior to the trip we recieved a personal courtesy call noting a time change, not a text or email which was great. The day was sun filled and very fun. We saw dolphins, sea turtle and school of tarpon. The snorkling around the old fort ruines was fun and exploring the island was also a blast. Shelling was also amazing and many types of shells were collected. The ships captain and his assistant (mother) could not have been better. A young boy on the trip was assisted in finding a large shell and on the way back skippered the boat. We both highly recommend booking with Island Boat Adventures.

AWESOME ADVENTURE - Awesome adventure - saw lots of dolphins went snorkeling - the fish are so beautiful all around you while snorkeling. The fish were the basic ocean fish - nothing out of the ordinary but still an amazing time. The corals were absolutely beautiful - my husband loved since he has a salt water fish tank with similar corals. Egmont key has the most soft, beautiful, white sand and TONS of shells. We walked around the island - reading about the history during WWII. Our guides were mom and son and just wonderful - would give 10 stars if possible and recommended Hookin' Aint Easy for lunch which was again WONDERFUL.

No others compete with hospitality! - What had an amazing time and for 4hrs it was money well spent. We saw plenty of dolphins and wild life. I would skip snorkeling at the rocks and do it more at the island u see bigger fish that way and find a ton of the good shells doing so! The island was so much fun and wish we could spend all day there exploring and shell hunting. Highly recommend for all ages. There was a little girl in the group on the boat and captain let her drive the boat back. Little things like that show they care and they want everyone specially little ones to have a great time and memories they won’t forget. Will definitely be going back again next time we visit Florida.

Labor Day weekend 4 hour trip. - The boat was good and the guides were nice. They didn’t use the microphone most of the time though so you couldn’t hear what they were saying about the area. The other draw back was the only way on and off the boat at the island was by ladder. For anyone with bad knees such as myself this was very difficult. I have done a snorkeling trip before that had a ramp which is much easier for on and off access.

No Trip - This was canceled at the last minute we were already 20 minutes away from meeting point. We understand things come up but when you're traveling 2 hours to make the trip it was very disappointing
