Shell Island Dolphin Tours In Galveston Texas

For groups who want a more personal experience or wish to keep their group from being too exposed to other groups, private tours are a great option. Private tours also offer the option to choose how long you wish to stay in one area.

To start off your tour, our guides will show you the beauty of Shell Island. This 7 mile stretch of undeveloped paradise is a barrier island that runs east to west between the Gulf of Mexico and St. Andrews Bay. This is Florida at its most natural, far away from the theme parks and resorts. Shell Island is a home for endangered species like loggerhead sea turtles and piping plovers, and is known for the abundance of beautiful shells that are found on the beaches.

These tours feature in-water interactions. Our expert guides will lead you to a dolphin hotspot, where you'll be able to swim with the local dolphins.

There is nothing better than a one-on-one encounter with one of nature's most intelligent creatures. Dolphin Seafari offers private tours to individuals or groups who wish to see the dolphins of Shell Island from their own eyes.

Shell Island Dolphin Tours is able to accommodate larger groups, so call ahead to confirm availability if you have more than six guests.

Although you may have seen dolphins in captivity in a marine park or aquarium, it is much more fascinating to see these magnificent animals in their natural habitat. Even though wild dolphin behavior cannot be predicted, and sightings on all trips are not guaranteed, tour captains have a lot of experience on the waters of St. Andrew Bay almost every day. Our captains know where dolphins can be found, and they do everything possible to ensure guests have a good time. Dolphins can be seen on most tours jumping, playing, looking for food and communicating with each other.
