Private Dolphin And Snorkeling Tours Big Island
This was the highlight of our Florida vacation. We felt secure, enjoyed our trip, and also learned a lot. Captain Jack was kind, knowledgeable, and accommodating."
There are many birds that can be seen out of water. They include raptors like bald Eagles and Ospreys as well as shorebirds like great Blue Herons and Egrets. Seabirds include magnificent frigatebirds (terns) and terns. There are also deer sometimes found on the island.
This Dolphin Tour boat, unlike larger vessels that can hold up to 175 people, can only carry six passengers. Larger groups are known to make a lot too much noise and disturb the dolphins. This can drive them away. The best part about our service is that you will be able to get in the water quickly and without scaring the dolphins.
You will find some of the most beautiful beaches and snorkeling spots on Florida's coasts! Mexico Beach and Port St. Joe offer adventure options.
The private dolphin tour lasts 2 hours. We reserve the boat only for you and your group. Coast Guard regulations say that the maximum number of passengers is 13. This includes infants and children.
"Captain Jack made sure we were exactly where we needed to be in order to see the dolphins swimming underneath our feet. It was quite an experience."
You'll snorkel to the satisfaction of your heart aboard our boat. Capri Suns, bottled water and complimentary refreshments will be available in the cooler. You can bring your own beverages and snacks.
Boat Tours are fun for the entire family, no matter what their age. When you just want to relax, take in the beautiful views, and go swimming with our most famous residents, the Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins, a Lagoon Pontoons boat tour is just what you need.
It's all worth it once you get there because the water is the most beautiful I've ever seen. The water is so clear that it feels like you're swimming in a pool. We had no idea what to expect, so we went with the intention of spending a few hours on the island. Come prepared to spend the entire day!
Dolphins, loggerhead turtles, green sea turtles, ghost crabs, beach mice, nine-banded armadillos, alligators that live in the island's lake, marsh rabbits, racoons, and other wildlife can be found on Shell Island.
Wear nothing but a swimsuit. Dolphins have extremely sensitive skin, and because you will be able to touch them during your interaction, we recommend that you refrain from wearing sunscreen, oils, or perfumes.
