You would like to book a private tour of the dolphins for your group? Customers can add time to their private dolphin tour, starting at 2 or 3 hour, to add extra activities such as snorkeling, island time, etc. Each boat can hold 6 people.

We'll bring you as close and as safe as possible to dolphins. It is up to the dolphins to decide how near they want to go and how much interaction. We practice what we call passive observation. This means, in simple terms, that we allow dolphins to come and visit us. Our guests are often treated to amazing encounters with our dolphins in St. Andrews Bay.
In addition to observing dolphins, our dolphin and island tours visit beautiful Shell Island. Here we can explore the beach, hunt for shells, wade, swim, and, if conditions allow, snorkel in the crystal clear protected waters and observe a wide variety of marine life.
If conditions allow, guests are permitted to go in the water if dolphins are nearby. Safety is always our top priority. Your captain's instructions will help you safely snorkel around marine mammals.
