Because we are exploring the dolphins’ natural habitat, it’s always possible that we won’t be able to find where the dolphins are playing today. However, our guides have been doing this for years, and know all the places the dolphins love to be. Virtually all of our tours encounter at least a few of the dolphins that make up the largest population of wild dolphins in the world.
Shell Island offers many activities. These include kayaking (boating), hiking (snorkeling), and boating. Shell Island has many pods that include the magnificent bottlenose dolphin, making them very popular.
