Barrier Reef Snorkel & Sandbar Swim – Tarpon Creek

Experience our two most popular destinations; open water reef snorkeling at Coffins Patch Coral Reef Sanctuary Preservation Area followed by swimming and relaxing in the shallows of the Valhalla Sandbar.

• Reef snorkeling at the Coffins Patch Sanctuary Preservation Area. This open water patch reef, about four nautical miles away, features a water depth of 8′ – 18′, soft and hard corals, and abundant tropical SEA LIFE!
• The Key’s version of “the beach”, Valhalla Sandbar, offers a white sand bottom & 1′ – 3′ water depth which make for great shallow water snorkeling, swimming, and relaxing beside the Turtle Grass Flats. Here you can discover Conch, Bahamian Starfish, Horseshoe Crabs and elusive Sea Horses.

*When SEA STATE does not permit passage to the outer reef, we will transition to a VALHALLA SANDBAR trip for shallow water snorkeling & swimming, followed by a TOMS HARBOR eco-tour.
