You can bring almost anything, although we have most of the essentials. To be safe, I recommend that you bring a towel, sunglasses with polarization, and a sweater or jacket. Because of the breeze and open boat, it's always cooler out on the water than on land. Bring snacks and drinks.

St. Andrew Bay is home of one of the largest populations of bottlenose dolphins in the world. These are the famous gray dolphins most people know from TV, movies and marine parks. Although the dolphins of St. Andrew Bay live in wild environments, they are used to humans and boaters often find themselves amongst a group of feeding, swimming and playing dolphins.
Although it may be possible to view captive dolphins in marine parks, it is much more enjoyable to see 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 are experts in the areas where dolphins might be found. Our captains will ensure guests have a wonderful time. Dolphins are frequently seen communicating with each other and jumping around on many tours.
