A bottlenose dolphin breaches the surface of St. Andrews Bay just fifty yards from your boat, throwing up a spray of saltwater before disappearing beneath the green water. # Top Nature and Wildlife Tours in Bay County # Photo by Mo Eid on Pexels When you want to get out on the water and see local fauna up close, your primary option here is the 2 Hour Dolphin Tour Adventure to Shell Island priced at $59. This excursion takes you through the scenic waters of St. Andrews Bay and straight to Shell Island, making it an ideal choice for families and small groups who want a private experience on the water without spending an entire day at sea. When you compare this to typical multi-group excursions found elsewhere on the Gulf Coast, the private nature of this option gives you much more freedom to watch marine life at your own pace. A practical tip for this outing is to bring polarized sunglasses to cut the water glare so you can spot the dolphins beneath the surface much easier. Another tip is to book this tour for the morning hours when the wind is usually calmer and the wildlife is more active.
