Is Shell Island Open To The Public

What should we take? Although we have most of the items you'll need, you can also bring your own. If the temperature is less than 80 degrees, we recommend you bring a towel and polarized sunglasses. The breeze makes it cooler on open-air boats. You can also bring snacks and beverages. The consumption of alcohol is permitted!

Private tours are ideal for groups that desire a more intimate experience or want to avoid being exposed to other groups. Another benefit of private tours is the flexibility to determine how long you will stay in a given area.

Pontoons can be driven very quickly, so you don't need any experience to rent one. St. Andrew's Bay's beauty is its smooth water, so don't worry if it's your first time captaining a boat.

Please be aware that many tour companies and jet-ski rental companies have minimum ages. This may mean that this option is not suitable for families with small children.

A dolphin tour can also be a great sightseeing opportunity. All tour boats depart Adventure at Sea in Lower Grand Lagoon. They cruise south and cross the pass between St. Andrew Bay, the Gulf of Mexico and Shell Island. While you can take in the beautiful view, spot seabirds and possibly a turtle, keep your eyes open for dolphins.

Our photos section and social media offer a glimpse into the wildlife we might see. Every image on our website and social media was taken while on our tour. We attempt to update our social channels often with new pictures and frequently take pictures so you can keep up to date and see what we are currently seeing. Our Instagram and Facebook pages will show you what we have seen over the last few days or weeks. They can be found at the bottom. It is not unusual to see turtles, sharks or dolphins.
