Do you want a more active dolphin tour of Shell Island? Jet skis can be a fun way for dolphins to get close to their natural habitat.
"St. Andrews Bay is home to over 2,900 different species. There are many things you can find in the waters around St. Andrews Bay. It is also one our most important coastal estuaries and requires our continued protection. Mike Brim (Executive Director St. Andrews Bay Environmental Science Team).

Since long, guests have enjoyed dolphin tours with us. We adhere to all safety and welfare guidelines.

Private dolphin tours for up 6 people are $300, or $50/person. This is an excellent deal for groups this large! Dolphin Seafari welcomes larger groups with advance notice. To confirm availability, please call 850-968-8107 if you have more than 6 people.
You can bring almost anything, although we have most of the essentials. To be safe, I recommend that you bring a towel, sunglasses with polarization, and a sweater or jacket. Because of the breeze and open boat, it's always cooler out on the water than on land. Bring snacks and drinks.
You should be aware that most tour and jet ski rental companies require minimum age for their riders. This means this option may not suit families with young children.
You can find out more about the wildlife we see in our photos section or on our social media. Every picture on our website as well as our social media was taken on the tour. We update our social media frequently and take pictures often to keep you updated on what's happening. Check out our Instagram or Facebook to see what else we have been up to over the last few weeks. You can find them at the bottom on the homepage. You will often see seabirds such as dolphins and sharks.

Shell island beach was visited twice by us. The first time we paid $7.50 to park on the "island". We drove a bit further along the coast to Llanddwywe, where we found a public parking lot. It is a beautiful, clean beach.
Shell Island takes between 10 and 25 minutes. It all depends on the water conditions and how you get there. You should only try to get to Shell Island via boat or jet ski, as the currents can be too strong to paddle board to the island.
You can also paddle along the shorelines at St. Andrews State Park, and visit the Lower Grand Lagoon or Sandy Point. You can also plan a day on Shell Island by renting a kayak. This package includes tickets for the Shell Island Shuttle and a kayak that will be ready when you arrive on the island.
