If we swim parallel to dolphins instead of swimming towards them or reaching out to them (which is also illegal), then this will be the best, most ethical way to allow dolphins to come to our aid.
You can snorkel to your hearts content aboard our boat, and there is no additional cost! You can also get complimentary Capri Suns and bottled water from the onboard cooler. Bring your own beverages, snacks, or BYOB.
It was a great way for a day to be spent! I took my 22-year old son and two of his friends on a half-day trip. The day was great and the pontoon boat was great. Rob was great! Everyone had the best time.

Our 2-hour Dolphin Boat Tours allow for a more personal dolphin experience. This tour is limited to a small group and allows you to swim with dolphins, snorkel for sand dollars, and explore Shell Island. Book your own private tour. Our captains have years of experience and are experts in finding the best spots to view Dolphins.
You will enter the water before the dolphins arrive. In this manner, the dolphins will get curious and instead of swimming away, they’ll be drawn towards us. The dolphins can be finicky and the more we "pretend" they are not there, the more curious they become.
Starfish, bay scallops and starfish are all common species. We also see conchs upto 21 inches in length, seahorses, urchins, hermit crabs, and other crab species. 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.
Dolphins are most active at dawn, between 10 a.m. and noon, and from 2 p.m. to dusk. A good pair of telephoto lenses or binoculars can be extremely useful for spotting dolphins.
Islamorada and Key Largo are popular locations for seeing the animals in the wild. The Florida Keys are a popular breeding ground for dolphins, so you can see them all year.
