Forgotten Coast Dolphin and Snorkeling Tour departing from Port St. Joe, FL
Description
The Ultimate Adventure on The Forgotten Coast of Florida!
Activity details:
We start our journey in the heart of Port St. Joe and head out into St. Joseph Bay Aquatic Preserve.
St. Joseph Bay, an Aquatic Preserve, boasts some of the richest seagrass systems in Florida’s northern Gulf Coast. Known as one of the clearest and most grass-dense bays in the panhandle, it is magical for shallow-water snorkeling.
During our Port St. Joe excursions, we often spot dolphin pods in their natural environment, largely undisturbed, allowing you to observe their authentic, untamed behaviors. We are frequently the only vessel nearby, and we have a hydrophone to allow us to listen to their fascinating vocalizations!
Our wildlife adventures allow us to search for a diverse array of marine life, with sightings often including turtles, various invertebrate species, rays, fish, manatees, sharks, and an assortment of migratory bird species.
We also explore pristine secluded beaches that are only easily accessible by boat. These beaches are amazing for shell collectors or just taking in and admiring the beauty of this special place! There is a good chance you will be the only people around for miles.
On longer tours, we can visit sunken ships and structures in deeper water for experienced free divers. On full-day tours, we can also visit remote Crooked Island.
This is the ultimate tour for nature lovers and people looking to get away from the crowds for a day!
If you are here for the day we can also give you some pointers on unique things to do on the Forgotten Coast and recommend some of the best local eateries in town.
