The Egmont Key National Wildlife Refuge is a serene, secluded island in Tampa Bay that’s popular for hiking and fishing. Go beyond the beauty of St. Pete’s Beaches and visit this island on a relaxing half-day tour. Sail from the St. Pete Pier over to Egmont Key and spend a few hours wandering miles of white sand beaches. Bottled water is available but you can bring your own food and drink to enjoy a quiet island lunch.

• Explore the Fort Dade ruins and historic lighthouse on the key
• Use the snorkeling equipment included to see marine life
• Keep your eyes open for dolphin sightings while boating
• Sail under the stunning Sunshine Skyway Bridge

What To Expect

Sit back, relax and enjoy during the 60-minute ride from the Pier to Paradise. You’ll sail by the beautiful shorelines of St. Pete, pass under the stunning Sunshine Skyway bridge and perhaps see a dolphin or two! Please note you will have to step into shallow water when going on the island. You can bring your own food and we have wine and beer available on the boat for purchase.

You will have 2 hours on Egmont Key to explore the pristine beaches, historic lighthouse, ruins of Ft. Dade, and the amazing wildlife before your return trip.
