Highlights
  • Phil Foster Park - During this tour of the best Snorkel site in North America you will encounter a plethora of normally unseen marine animals while exploring different habitats like vast arrays of artificial reefs and grassy/sandy ocean bottom. This is a guided activity, so throughout your time in the water I will point out, identify and talk about all the marine animals we will see as we swim together over the reef trail located less than 50 yards off the shoreline! The tour typically will last a two hour period and is designed for beginners and novices, but still beyond exciting enough for seasoned snorkelers. After the tour fresh water showers will be available to rinse the salt water off as well as provided towels to dry off.

Under the bridge around the playground area is where we’ll meet and greet to discuss the general plan for the day, snorkeling safety precautions, as well as prepping and fitting gear. This tour is all inclusive as we provide all the snorkel equipment, sunscreen, and post snorkel towels/snacks/drinks to enjoy after the swim.

**If anyone would like to have the experience documented, photos/videos of the activity can be requested so please inquire BEFORE the tour starts.

Additional Information

On this #1 TripAdvisor rated and reviewed tour you will see a LARGE variety of tropical reef fish, as well as several different species of rays, starfish, octopus, moray eels, and other rare animals/ mega fauna not easily found.

Born and raised locally, our guide’s extensive knowledge of the changing underwater landscape and life long experience here at this marine preserve allows them to bring snorkelers directly to where the marine life is and show a side of the ocean normally unseen in comparison to what you would see with any other snorkel tour or on your own. Each snorkeler will get a deep understanding of this local ecosystem, such as the behaviors and anatomy of all the diverse life that will be encountered during the tour, all because of the passion we have for sharing and preserving this natural wonder.

Our goal during this tour is to have the guest along with the guide actively participating in exploring this hidden natural gem, so come join us for a swim today!

Excellent adventure! - Excellent time had by my kids and myself. Guide was very kind, patient and informative. It was great that he gave step by step ‘how to’ instructions for the kids and first time snorkelers. Guides knowledge of ocean life was expansive. The experience was fun and we can’t wait to snorkel again!

Superb Snorkeling experience - Our tour guy was Westin and he was excellent! Everything from parking directions to waiting for us to Snorkeling equipment and Snorkeling instructions was fantastic. We got to see some rare fish and spent almost 3 hours in the water. I never knew this spot existed and never imagined such a great snorkeling experience near home. I highly recommend!

Worth it! - I can’t recommend this tour enough. Our guide, Westin, was awesome! Knowledgeable, patient and attentive every minute of the tour and beyond with a follow-up list of recommendations of things to do and places to eat in the area. He anticipated every question and concern and was thorough and personable with explanations and good vibes. The views and marine life were great too, even though we went at the height of summer and some if the bigger animals had retreated to less human-populated habitats. We did see a 19-foot manatee, though, along with a number of schools of fish and crustaceans. Truly worth it! Thanks so much, Westin!

Great Family Adventure - I went with my 14 year old son who is hard to tear away from his video games. We both had a blast! Westin is very knowledgeable, patient and ensures everyone is safe and accounted for throughout the two hour tour.

Fabulous Tour of the Reef - Thanks to the amazing guide, my 9 year old and I saw incredible sea life we would have missed on our own. We will be back and bring the rest of the family with us.

Wonderful Experience - My 9 year old and I joined the snorkeling tour during a visit to Palm Beach. Westin provided everything we needed, including advice, and pointed out fascinating sea life we would not have found on our own. We did end up heading to the beach a bit early, because we couldn't get quite the right fit on her flippers and her feet were hurting. The next time we visit we will bring neoprene socks to protect her feet and book another tour.
