A variety of starfishes, sanddollars bay scallops, whelks conchs upto 21 inches long, seahorses urchins and hermit crabs among other crab species are common species that we see. These animals are easy to bring to the surface. They can also be photographed. We use large containers to allow snorkelers and non-snorkelers to see the animals up close before they are released back into the bay. You can also take any shells you find that have not been inhabited by living creatures home.
We'll bring you as close and as safe as possible to dolphins. It is up to the dolphins to decide how near they want to go and how much interaction. We practice what we call passive observation. This means, in simple terms, that we allow dolphins to come and visit us. Our guests are often treated to amazing encounters with our dolphins in St. Andrews Bay.

Dolphins can appear curious but many behaviors they exhibit are misinterpreted as "friendly". Do not approach dolphins in the sea, nor pursue them.
Naples-Fort Myers Florida, The coast areas of North America have many prime locations for dolphin sightings, including Naples, Fla. You can book eco-tours in Naples-Fort Myers to see many dolphin species.
Do not touch the dolphins. The dolphins will attempt to make physical contact with you if they feel the need. Touching one dolphin will cause them to leave the area. This not only affects dolphin behavior, but also causes irritation to other members of your group as everyone loses in the swim.
