Our guides have spent many years studying dolphin behavior and are skilled at finding them and instructing guests how to get into the water to observe them in their natural environment. Your captain will also snorkel with you, showing you starfish, pufferfish and welch conchs.
We will travel to Historic Grand Lagoon and take a 25-minute relaxing cruise to Shell Island, our snorkeling area. Look out for dolphins and other sea creatures as you cruise along the coast. We will anchor at the Gulf of Mexico or Shell Island. From there, you can either snorkel for seashells or learn about local marine-life. Or just relax and soak up the sun. Shell Island also has shallow water that you can use to search for shells. After visiting Shell Island for a while, we will take a ride into the Gulf of Mexico. Here we will look for dolphins and see the sights along the way.

Orcas are considered apex predators. This means that they are at the top of the food chain, and have no predators. Killer whales are the most powerful and largest animals in the ocean. No other predator can challenge them.
Dolphins inhale air through the blowhole on their tops. It is possible for dolphins to experience respiratory irritation, which could cause symptoms similar to a person coughing or sneezing. This coughing experience, however, is known as chuffing in dolphins.
