For your Florida vacation, you want a fun and unique experience. Gabby's Dolphin Tours PCB has more information about Shell Island snorkeling, and dolphin tours. We look forward seeing you soon!
Your captain can show you how to best enter the water, and get close up and personal with the dolphins. It is forbidden to swim or reach out towards dolphins. We use the most ethical approach to interaction with them by swimming parallel to them, as well as allowing them freely to approach us.
At Gabby's Dolphin Tours PCB, our captains are highly trained and experienced in spotting, observing, and interpreting dolphin’s behavior and movements. We place the boat at a safe distance and instruct you when to get in the water to get a closer look and mingle with them.
Captain Jack was very precise in positioning us at the moment when the dolphins were swimming right under our feet. It was a truly unique experience.
During the second leg of your excursion, you’ll come across the best of what St Andrews Bay has to offer in terms of wildlife. These include birds like herons, ospreys, and pelicans, underwater marine life like hermit crabs, sea urchins, sea horses, blue crabs, and starfish, plus all the animal life on Shell Island. Explore Shell Island for sand dollars and shells. You can also go snorkeling on grass flats and explore St. Andrews Bay along the Gulf of Mexico.
Seeing and swimming with the dolphins in their natural habitat on your trip aboard super-comfortable boats. Our boats are actual dive boats so the children will love finding and seeing the dolphins and having the opportunity to snorkel in the water just like a real SCUBA diver.
You would like to book a private tour of the dolphins for your group? Customers can add time to their private dolphin tour, starting at 2 to 3 hours. This is to add extra activities such as snorkeling, island time, or other fun activities. Each boat can hold 6 people. Your captain will guide you in how to enter the water to see dolphins in their natural habitat. Next, enjoy a guided snorkeling tour to view other sea creatures around Shell Island.
MAXIMUM 6 guests (including all children) are allowed on each boat. Coast Guard regulations do not allow for more than 13 passengers.
This is what you can relate to if someone doesn't show any care. Ask your mother-in-law about this. She likely experienced the exact same situation while dating your dad.
Your privacy is guaranteed on your private dolphin tour. The boat will only have you and the captain. Keep in mind that 6 passengers is the maximum allowed by the Coast Guard, children of all ages are included.
Our boats can be used for cruising. You can also enjoy swimming with dolphins and watching them in their natural environment.
You can book a private tour and reserve the whole boat for you. This is your personal tour. You can customize the tour to suit your needs. Private charters can accommodate up to six guests.
It's all worth it once you get there because the water is the most beautiful I've ever seen. The water is so clear that it feels like you're swimming in a pool. We had no idea what to expect, so we went with the intention of spending a few hours on the island. Come prepared to spend the entire day!
Dolphins, loggerhead turtles, green sea turtles, ghost crabs, beach mice, nine-banded armadillos, alligators that live in the island's lake, marsh rabbits, racoons, and other wildlife can be found on Shell Island.
Wear nothing but a swimsuit. Dolphins have extremely sensitive skin, and because you will be able to touch them during your interaction, we recommend that you refrain from wearing sunscreen, oils, or perfumes.
