We are often unable to locate dolphins in their natural habitat. Our guides have been doing this since years and know the best places that dolphins love. Our tours almost always encounter dolphins, which make up the largest wild dolphin population in the world.
The Dolphins you will see on our Dolphin Tours are Bottlenose Dolphins (the same as the famous Flipper). Since they are mostly found in shallow waters, they are fairly easy to find. What makes our location in St. Andrews Bay State Park unique, is that this area is where the Dolphins hunt for food. They also frequently visit Shell Island to check out the vacationers. They are very curious and playful in nature. Our guests are always so amazed at the nature of these amazing creatures and are surprised how easy it is to get close to them.
