Shell Island Dolphin Tours

Experience the most beautiful place this area has to offer when we adventure to Shell Island, a protected sanctuary for marine life and birds. We disembark the Addy Anne and help the kids with nets and snorkel masks to experience the marine wildlife. We land to the calm St. Andrews Bay side of the island before adventuring across Shell Island to the Gulf of Mexico, approximately 150 yards away where we can find shells for souvenirs!

Sunset Dolphin Cruise

Cruise the Gulf shoreline, sightsee St. Andrew Bay, and take in the beauty around you. Search for dolphin and schools of fish as the sky explodes in color and the sun dips below the horizon. Create lifelong memories with family and friends.
