Florida law prohibits dolphin swimming and feeding. Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission officers are present on the water to ensure these rules are adhered to. If you are lucky enough to encounter dolphins, they may approach your tour boat very close, providing you with a fantastic view and great photo opportunity. Shell Island Snorkel Tours are a great option if you want to see wild dolphins in the sea. The dolphins can sometimes swim right next to snorkelers.
