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.
A dolphin tour is a wonderful way to see the area. All tour boats depart Adventure at Sea, Lower Grand Lagoon. On the way to Shell Island, they cross the pass between St. Andrew Bay (the Gulf of Mexico) and cruise south. The view is breathtaking and you may spot seabirds or sea turtles. Keep your eyes peeled for dolphins.

Florida law forbids dolphins from swimming or touching them. This is to ensure their well-being. The Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission has officers on the water to enforce these rules. You may have the opportunity to see dolphins from your boat, which will give you a great view and great photos. You can have wild dolphin encounters with dolphins by taking one of our Shell Island Snorkel Tours. Dolphins often swim close to snorkelers.
