About
Here at Coastal Wildlife Adventures, we specialize in small group, private boat tours. Ours boat take 3 to 6 guests per tour. Although the Bottlenose Dolphins are the main attraction, we also show you all kinds of local wildlife. Of course all the animals we see are wild, so we never quite know what we will get to see for sure. Aside from the dolphins, we see many different species of birds such as Osprey, Pelicans, Eagles, Wading birds, and many more. We see an occasional Manatee passing through, Sharks, Rays, Turtles, colorful fish, and even Deer. From April through October we do a lot of snorkeling on our tours as well. We change our snorkeling sites from day to day, depending on the weather and water conditions. We make an honest effort to bring you to the clearest calmest snorkeling sites we can. Usually we snorkel sea grass flats, sandbars, artificial reefs, and the coast of the Island. On all of our tours, you get a chance to get off the boat and explore Shell Island as well.

We were extremely satisfied with our snorkeling and dolphin experience. Captain Turtle was wonderful. He took the time to show us great places to collect shells and allowed us to see dolphins up close. I mentioned that I never saw a sea turtle in the wild and he actually made that happen. I know he can't control the wildlife but he knew the best place to find on and we did. We had a great time and would definitely recommend them.Thank you for the memories.

Go do this tour. It was well worth our time & money for the priceless memories we walked away with. Captain Turtle was excellent, keeping our family safe while giving us the experience of a lifetime! It was like ordering from a menu with him from shell hunting, to swimming with dolphins & even spotting a sea turtle Captain Turtle went above & beyond to make sure we experienced all that we wanted to even bringing us to a “secret shell” spot to find the best shells. Obviously he can not control the sea life & your experience with them but if there is an opportunity he will have you in the best place to experience it. We won’t miss the dollars spent for the memories we walked away with.

Our captain knew where to find the dolphins. They put on quite the show. We visited two different little islands to look for shells. It was awesome.

We booked a 2 hour private tour for 3 adults and 3 little kids. The kids were super excited to see the dolphins as they followed us and jumped through the wake of our boat. Brayden was our captain and was knowledgeable and dropped us off at a secluded spot by shell island where we swam to shore and explored for shells. It was a perfect day and I would highly recommend the small private tour with this company.

Went with wife and 2 teenage kids. It was a great trip. Saw several dolphins swimming and jumping right by our boat. It was a benefit of having a shall boat. Snorkeling was ok. Saw many fish by shell island.

I took this AMAZING tour about 3 years ago with Captain Croix and am looking to take it again with a new group of people. Is he still guiding tours? Is there a way to request him?

Yeah, he's still there. My wife and I took a tour snorkeling with him the end of last September a few weeks before their season ended. He was a cool, fun very and very informative. He took good care of us and took us to the best snorkeling places... crystal clear warm water. I felt like I was in a aquarium full of harmless fish. My wife called him Lieutenant Dan, because he reminded her of him in the movie Forest Gump. We're going to do it again this upcoming summer and request him again as well.

My sister and I paid about $76 each. It says $68 each but when you reserve online, there's a convenience fee and, of course, tax.
How do you contact them to book a dive trip? On Trip advisor it does not list available tours?
Thank You

Google Dolphin and Snorkel Tours LLC and it should be the first one. Look for Captain Loraine's name!

We paid $69 for a 3 hour tour.
Do you do tours in January? Is snorkeling still part of the tour if it is chilly? Thanks!

You should call or email the company as I am sure they would tell you or personalize a tour for you.
