If conditions permit, sometimes we can snorkel with dolphins. They are wild dolphins that have their own mind. We do not feed, harass or harass dolphins. It is because of this that we cannot guarantee dolphin swimming. All our boat tours comply with and support the Marine Mammal Protection Act.
Dolphins that you see on our Dolphin Tours include Bottlenose Dolphins. This is the same dolphin as the Flipper. Because they are mostly found in shallower waters, they are relatively easy to spot. This is because the Dolphins are known to hunt in this area. Shell Island is a frequent stopover for the dolphins. They are extremely curious and playful in their natural habitat. We are constantly amazed by the beauty of these incredible creatures.
You will find amazing views in the Gulf's shallows if you bring your snorkeling gear. You can take underwater photos and share them with your friends.
St. Andrew Bay dolphins are wild animals. It is not possible to predict the best times to see them. Dolphin behavior can be affected by weather conditions, tide cycles, water temperatures, tides, and availability. There are good chances of seeing dolphins when the sun shines and the water clear and calm. Feeding activities are usually seen on an outgoing tide. Shell Island Dolphin Tours, a dolphin tour operator that is available almost every day of each year, is your best option.
