While you might have seen dolphins at sea in a marine reserve, it is still far more fun to observe these majestic animals in their natural environment. Our captains are experienced in the waterways of St. Andrew Bay and can predict wild dolphin behavior, but they cannot guarantee sightings. Our captains are familiar with the best places to find dolphins and will make sure that guests have a blast. On most tours, you will see dolphins playing, hunting for food, and communicating among themselves.


St. Andrew Bay is home to one of the world’s largest resident populations of bottlenose dolphins, the iconic gray dolphins that most people are familiar with from television, movies, and marine parks. The dolphins of St. Andrew Bay are wild animals but they are accustomed to the presence of people and it is common for boaters on the Bay to find themselves among a group of swimming, feeding, and playing dolphins.

We'll get you in to the water before the dolphins do. So the dolphins are more likely than not to swim away to us to find us. Blue Dolphin Tours has 6 passengers, including children, as opposed to larger tour boats carrying up to 150. We can quickly get you into the water wearing your snorkel gear without the disruptions and splashing that large groups cause. These often scare the dolphins away. For larger groups up to 30 people we have 5 identical boats. There is a maximum of 6 per boat. There is also a Large Family Blue Dolphin that can accommodate up to 15 guests. Pets are not allowed onboard boats.
