Shell Island Florida Tour
The dolphins are wild animals in their natural habitat, they are not in tanks or netted areas. It is highly recommended that you wear polarized sunglasses to cut the glare on the water to be able to better see the beautiful wild dolphins. It is pretty rare for us to not see the dolphins.
One of our Shell Island Pontoon Boat Rentals allows you to explore Shell Island at your own pace with your family and friends.
It was great fun to relax on the catamaran while watching out for dolphins. We also enjoyed snorkeling, paddle boarding, and snorkeling. The staff were great! We also saw many sting rays and dolphins. There were very few fish that we could see while snorkeling but it was still a lot of fun.
The St. Andrews State Park includes the western half of Shell Island. It is as natural as Florida can get. You won't find yourself stopping at a snack stand or at a picnic table.
