Enjoy a trip on super-fast boats designed to allow you to swim with wild bottle-nosed dolphins. Shell Island Dolphin Tours has a smaller number of passengers than the larger boats that can hold up to 150 people. With your snorkel gear on, we can get you in the water quickly without causing any splashing or disruptions. This is often what scares the dolphins away. Your knowledgeable captain will guide you in how to interact best with the dolphins. This includes swimming parallel to the dolphins and not swimming towards them or reaching for them. Swim with Dolphins--We'll get you in the water before they arrive. The dolphins will be more likely to swim towards us than away, this way. Explore wildlife, including birds of Prey, pelicans and underwater creatures. Shells and sanddollars can be found at Shell Island. You can snorkel the flats of sand grass and visit St. Andrews Bay as well as the Gulf of Mexico.
Private tours are perfect for groups that want to have a more intimate experience and/or to reduce exposure to other groups to make their trips more COVID-friendly. You can also choose how long to stay in an area on private tours.

All of our snorkeling tours include snorkeling gear. We regularly visit many different snorkeling locations. Each day we make changes to our snorkeling locations. Our local snorkeling spots are constantly changing. We make every effort to get you to the best snorkeling spots on the day of your Dolphin and Snorkeling trip. We frequently snorkel in artificial reefs, sandbars and seagrass beds. We will do everything possible to take you to the best spots.
Jet ski tours also have another cool feature: dolphins are curious about jet ski wakes, which is a great bonus.
The private dolphin tours can be booked for as many as 6 people and cost $300. That's $50 per person. This deal is great if you have a large group! Dolphin Seafari will accommodate larger groups provided that you notify them in advance. For groups of more than six people, please call (850)960-8107 to confirm availability.
It is possible to have seen dolphins captive in a marine sanctuary, but it is more exciting to watch them in their natural habitat. Although wild dolphin behavior is unpredictable and not possible to predict, the tour captains have many years of experience operating on the waters around St. Andrew Bay almost every single day. They know where dolphins are most common and do everything they can to ensure that guests have an amazing time. Dolphins can often be seen jumping, playing and searching for food on many tours.
The tour takes you to the best spots for snorkeling and swimming with dolphins around the island. Our guides will guide you on a cruise to these locations and tell you everything you need about the marine life around shell island.

Shell Island is not a concession island. The sun, sand and water can make people hungry and thirsty. You can also bring your usual beach equipment, such as towels, sunscreen, and hats. You can bring your own beach chairs, floats and fishing rods. Be sure to leave enough space on the boat for people!
Shell Island is only accessible by boat. The Shell Island Ferry, which takes visitors to Shell Island, is the quickest, easiest, most secure, and fastest way to get there.
