After snorkeling during the ride to the sandbar, we can hit a few of our local dolphins’ favorite places to hang out, and if we’re lucky we can have a photo shoot as the dolphins play in the wake of the boat!

We will do our best to accommodate the activities you would like. For 4-hour trips, there is a maximum of two activities. If you would like to do more or something different, just give us a call and we can see if we can make it happen!
