While it may be possible to view captive dolphins in marine parks, it is much more enjoyable to observe these amazing animals at their natural habitat. While wild dolphin behavior can't be predicted and sightings may not occur on every trip, our captains have been on the waters of St. Andrew Bay for years. They know where dolphins might be found, so they make sure guests have a great experience. Dolphins can often be seen jumping, playing and searching for food on many tours.
Enjoy a wonderful dolphin encounter with our four different interactive swimming with dolphins programs, where you'll be able to play and swim with the cutest marine animal that ever existed. You only need to choose your favorite and have fun.
The best time to see and swim with dolphins is in the early part of the morning when they are feeding. You might also go out later in the day before the sun sets. You can spot dolphins at any time of day, really, but less traffic makes them easier to spot.
