The 3 hour tour was incredible! Captain ensured we saw dolphins and took us to the top of a shipwreck. The kids had a great time snorkeling on Shell Island. No matter what age, it is highly recommended.

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.

Shell Island Sunset Cruise


The catamaran was very relaxing. I enjoyed watching the dolphins as well as snorkeling and paddleboarding. The staff was wonderful! We saw lots of dolphins, stingrays, and other marine life. While snorkeling was not a popular activity, there were still plenty of fish to be seen.
