You get to snorkel in clear water, spot wildlife, and scoop up dinner. It is the ultimate underwater treasure hunt for families, friends, and solo adventurers. Pack your sunscreen, grab your gear, and let’s make some epic memories together!
These cool creatures start life as microscopic drifting larvae before settling into lush seagrass beds, where they grow their iconic shells and master a unique, jet-propelled swimming trick by clapping their shells together to zoom across the seafloor. Since Florida bay scallops have a short and sweet lifespan of just 12 to 18 months, the FWC carefully times the scalloping season to match the end of their life cycle, keeping the population healthy and thriving. Epic Tails loves sharing these fun ecosystem facts and leading the charge in sustainable harvesting, which is why we encourage our guests to target only the large, mature scallops that have already spawned while letting the little guys grow up. It is an unforgettable, eco-friendly snorkeling adventure that blends hands-on marine education with the thrill of catching your own fresh, sustainable dinner!
