Set out from Riviera Beach for a compact, coastal water adventure: a short 15‑minute paddle on a board to Peanut Island, a brief history stop ashore, then into shallow water for what guides and guests call one of the country’s standout snorkel experiences — guided dives where staff hand‑feed thousands of fish right before your mask.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE PADDLE

A brief crossing to Peanut Island

The tour begins with a roughly 15‑minute paddleboard ride to Peanut Island, a short, scenic transit that places you within easy reach of the island’s shoreline and the snorkeling grounds beyond.

THE HISTORY

Short history tour on Peanut Island

Once ashore there’s a concise history briefing on Peanut Island that situates the snorkel portion of the day and provides context for the coastal environment you’re about to enter.

THE SNORKEL

Guided snorkeling and mass fish feeding

After gearing up the guides lead the group into the water for the signature snorkel: close encounters as staff hand‑feed thousands of fish, an experience the operator describes as among the best snorkel destinations in the United States.

What the day feels like

What the outing feels like

The rhythm is compact and deliberate: a short paddle that warms the shoulders and opens views to the island, a grounded stop for a brisk history talk, then the nervous excitement of slipping a mask on and entering a densely populated snorkeling site where guides shepherd the group and demonstrate hand‑feeding tens — described in the tour notes as thousands — of fish.
