An underwater Easter egg hunt
Perfect for families, everybody will enjoy this “underwater Easter Egg hunt.” Our local Master Captains will take you a few miles offshore to the scalloping grounds. We equip guests with all the necessary snorkeling gear–we also include bottled water on the boat. Once you arrive on the scalloping grounds, dive in and search the nearby waters for the elusive and delicious Bay Scallop! We usually find scallops between 5-10 feet of water so confident swimmers usually find more scallops. Prior snorkeling experience is beneficial but not necessary.
The legal scalloping limit is 2 gallons of whole bay scallops in-shell per person or 10 gallons per boat, whichever happens first. If you would like additional help trying to catch your limit, feel free to add an in-water guide who will help teach you how to hunt for scallops and help collect them for your group.

What families say
We did a private tour (with Evan and Caleb) since we had a two year old and a five year old. They were great, friendly guides and we got to spend a good amount of time swimming alongside a manatee in an inlet.
Incredible tour! Our guides, Mya and Evan, were so helpful and knowledgeable, ensuring we saw a ton of manatees. If you want more flexibility and a personalized experience, the private tour is definitely the way to go. Highly recommended!
Had such a wonderful experience with Krystina and Dylan. Five friends and I opted to do the private tour and we had an amazing time. We saw SO many manatees and the guides were very informative. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.
