Snorkel Crystal River’s seagrass beds, search for bay scallops, and watch for wildlife on a private five-hour Gulf Coast adventure.

About this tour

Set out on a private Crystal River scalloping adventure, where clear Gulf waters and lush seagrass beds make the search for bay scallops part of the fun. A local captain leads your five-hour outing along Florida’s Nature Coast, with time to enjoy the scenery and look for coastal wildlife.

Cruise through Crystal River and the Gulf of Mexico toward productive grass flats. Keep watch for dolphins, sea turtles, rays, and coastal birds along the way. At the scalloping grounds, slip into the water to snorkel among the seagrass and search for bay scallops. Whether you’re new to snorkeling or have scalloped before, enjoy a relaxed, private trip with local guidance and room to explore at your own pace. The experience is family-friendly and suitable for all ages, including non-swimmers.

Your trip includes snorkeling and safety equipment, scallop bags, required licenses, bottled water, and some drinks; you’re also welcome to bring your own beverages. Pack a swimsuit, towel, and sunscreen, then head out for a memorable day on the water. Book your Crystal River scalloping adventure while seasonal dates are available.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 5.00 from 1 review. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Crystal River
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.1.
