Dog on the sand on shell island

Are you thinking about bringing your dog with you during your Shell Island Dolphin Tour? The short answer is yes, but with a few important conditions. Some folks bring their dogs, but it’s very important that your dog is completely comfortable being out on the water. If they get nervous on boats or don’t like making a splash, it might be best to let them sit this adventure out.

Smaller dogs can lounge anywhere on the Addy Anne, but larger dogs (over 15 lbs.) will have to stay off the cushions. Make sure to bring a towel or mat for them to lay on deck so they can be comfortable the entire ride. Shell Island is a clean and natural paradise, so you will be entirely responsible for any messes your animal may have while on Shell Island.
