Starfish, bay scallops (with sand dollars), whelks, starfish up to 21 inches in length, conchs with a maximum length of 21 inches, seahorses, urchins, hermit crabs, and other crab species are some of the species we often see. These animals can easily be brought to the surface, photographed, and handled with care. So that anyone can view them, even those who are not snorkers, we bring large containers. Any shells found with no living creatures can be taken home.
You can also see dolphins on our island and dolphin tours. This is where you can swim, fish, dive, search for shells and, if the conditions permit, snorkel in the protected waters to see a wide range of marine life.

These marine mammals use unique sounds and body language to communicate with their fellow members. The distinctive whistle of dolphins is unique for each animal, much as a person's name.
Dolphins can be gentle but they can also get angry. If they get mad, they will make a loud, clapping sound with their jaws. They may also slap water hard with the tails. Dolphins can be very helpful.
