Shell Island Tour Destin Florida

These are wild animals in their natural habitat doing what they want to do. Our encounters observe them on their terms and depend on what they are doing and their mood. Encounters happen pretty often; however, there is no way that we can guarantee it. We are bound by the laws of The Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 and subsequent amendments, in addition to the laws of the State of Florida. We are not allowed to feed or harass dolphins, so we don’t and are very strict about that. Thank you for understanding.

Snorkeling is great around the St. Andrews State Park beach, and also on Shell Island. Habitats can range from sandy bottom to shallow grassy flats to the rock faces of the jetties. See tropical fishes, crabs, and rays. You might also see a turtle or some bottle nose dolphins if you are fortunate. Snorkel equipment can be rented from the Jetty Store. You may also purchase it as part or a complete package, which includes shuttle tickets and snorkel gear on a Shell Island Snorkel Tour.

The St. Andrews State Park encompasses the western half Shell Island. It's as Florida-like as you can get. It doesn't mean you won’t stop at a food court or picnic table. You will still have the chance to see some beautiful, unspoiled wilderness on the East Coast. A variety of endangered species can be seen.

When you book a boat tour to Shell Island with us. We will take you to the secret coastline areas that most tourists don’t get to see. Also you can bring a lunch or beverages. Make sure to pack up anything that you take, to avoid damaging this natural habitat for future visitors.
