Dolphin Tours

Dolphin Tours

Each boat carries 6 people (adults or children) AND together we will explore the waters surrounding Shell Island in search of Dolphins and other natural residents of our area. Our boats are well-equipped for snorkeling, swimming, sunning, boating, and exploring. Our captains are licensed professionals with extensive knowledge in boating and marine life for our specific area.

Fun Fact: Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins are plentiful for our bays and gulf. They love our waters, or more correctly, we love their waters and appreciate them sharing the wonder with us. Happy Days Adventures at Papa Joe’s Bayside is ready to make your family time… happy time!

What is included and involved with your dolphin tour?

This dolphin tour includes all snorkeling gear and a seat on a boat to explore St. Andrews Bay, The Jetties, Shell Island, and/or the Gulf of Mexico. Each 2-hour trip is able to be tailored to your group or just let the captain be your personal local guide and provide one fabulously happy time for you and your family.

How many people will be in my group if I book a dolphin tour?

To stay ultra-safe and comply with Coast Guard and other requirements, each boat tour will be for 1-6 people (adults and children), plus the captain. If your group is larger than six people, we can add another boat, and both boats can tour together and remain together for 2 hours. If your group is less than six people, there will likely be other people added to your boat to equal the 6+1 formula.

Note: You are very welcome to purchase six tickets for your family of five and it will remain a private boat for your family/group. Just book six tickets at the same time and you are all set for a super happy time with one of our local guides.
