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.
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.
We have almost everything you will need on board, but you can bring anything you would like to. I would recommend bringing a towel, polarized sunglasses and sweater or jacket, just in case. It is always cooler on the water then it is on land because of the breeze and the open air boat. You are also welcome to bring and snacks or drinks with you.
This is up to each of you. It is usually better to travel with small children, or for people with less mobility. But it really all depends on your preferences. You can call us to find out if Waverunners are better for you or a boat tour.
If you are traveling with others who would not feel comfortable on a Waverunner, there are also boat tours. You can access our dock from anywhere, so everyone can enjoy the water's beauty. The boats can hold six passengers. We are happy to provide multiple boats for groups. As with the Waverunner tour and other tours, we'll move at your pace to ensure that we see all you want.
