Our Dolphin & Island Tours are normally scheduled for 3 hours. Departure times vary seasonally. We are currently leaving the dock at 9:00 a.m. and 12:30 p.m.
We will take a relaxing 25-minute boat ride out to Shell Island from Historic Grand Lagoon. Be on the lookout to see dolphins and other sea mammals in their natural habitats as we travel. Once we reach the Gulf of Mexico, we will anchor there. Shell Island is where you can snorkel and see the underwater world. You can also learn about the local sea-life or just relax and enjoy the sun while you soak in the sun. To search for shells in the shallow water, you can also go to Shell Island. After exploring Shell Island, we'll take a ride out into the Gulf of Mexico to see dolphins and other sights.
After many years of watching dolphins in their natural habitats, our guides are well-versed in locating them and instructing our guests how to safely enter the water. You will be accompanied by your captain to snorkel alongside starfish, pufferfishes, welch cones, sanddollars and other sea creatures.

These animals can be brought to the surface, handled carefully, and photographed. We bring large containers so that even non-snorkelers can observe them up close before they’re released back into the bay. Shells found without living creatures can be taken home.

Captain Jack was amazing. He was extremely well-informed. We decided what was important to him and he chose dolphin sightings for most of the time."
