Dolphins, Sharks, & Shells For Everyone

Dolphin Encounters:
First, we guarantee sightings of our resident Bottlenose Dolphins! Beyond just playing, you might witness newborns, social mating, or even rare “strand feeding.” Because these intelligent locals are year-round residents, every trip offers a unique, up-close look at their wild lives. Ultimately, it’s a “fintastic” experience for everyone.

Family Shark Fishing
Next, get ready for family-friendly shark fishing! Since we provide all the gear, licenses, and expert guidance, this is perfect for both kids and adults. Typically, we hook sharks ranging from one to six feet. Consequently, you get a big-game thrill that’s safe, exciting, and totally stress-free.

Shell Hunting & Beachcombing
Finally, explore hundreds of secret shell banks home to billions of coastal treasures. Specifically, we can visit the magical Vanishing Island for rare, pristine finds. Because beach combing is a relaxing, go-at-your-own-pace activity, it’s truly something the whole family can enjoy together. In short, it’s a collector’s paradise!

Schedule and Booking Details

If looking for best shelling hunting experience schedule close to low tide. Specifically, booking within two hours of the daily low tide will give plenty of options. With an average 8ft swing of the tide every 6ish hours, there is lots to find. Because the tides shift, please check our online booking calendar for the most current schedule.

Shared and Private Tour Options

Our Dolphins, Sharks, & Shells Excursion Tours can be booked as a private experience only, with up to 6 guests per boat. Of course, that sets you up to ensure complete exclusivity for you and your family. Don’t forget, you get the Better Boating Package for the best tour possible and a NO STRESS vacation, with no extra charge.

If your party has more than 6 guests, we offer a multiple boat discount(just choose the second, third or fourth boat during booking), or a Boat Rental w/ Captain(no shark fishing) that may take up to 8 guests.

Other Tour Times to Consider

To ensure you have the best experience possible, we offer a wide variety of tour options throughout the day, making it easy to find the one that is perfect for you. With that said, if there are any specific times you are looking for, please call and we will do our best to make it happen. If not sure, when to go…book that first morning tour and we will contact you to go over the details.

Our Guarantee

We operate throughout the year, ensuring that you can experience the wonders of dolphin encounters during any season. Rest assured, it’s highly unlikely to have a tour without dolphin sightings, but if it happens, we will gladly take you and your crew out again to find them. This guarantee is only for tours that specify “Guaranteed Encounters”. Again, although we do find strand feeding 80% of the time, there are tours when it does not happen and we do not guarantee that, only that we will see other dolphin activities.
