DOLPHIN TOUR — ANNA MARIA ISLAND

With Gulf temperatures averaging 84 degrees and 361 days of sunshine per year the surrounding waters of Anna Maria Island are known as the nursery because of the large number of dolphins that raise their young here.
Anna Maria Island is known for its quaint feel and the unspeakable beauty of the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico that surround it. It is also the perfect place to see dolphins. What better way to spend an afternoon than spotting some of the island’s most beloved dolphins. To see these amazing mammals in the wild you will truly appreciate how beautiful they really are. The dolphin excursion is great for so many reasons, one of which is that it will be one of those rare moments in modern life where you can completely disconnect. Apart from your camera, there are no modern distractions, and as you sail away from the coast what can be more liberating than being able to switch off and become completely immersed in the moment. As you glide effortlessly through the waves let your worries drift away.

Rated by TripAdvisor as one of the best tours on Anna Maria Island, Anna Maria Island Dolphin Tours offers unique coastal views and historic island information.

Recent TripAdvisor Reviews:
  1. My sister, a friend and myself took the dolphin tour yesterday and it was so much fun. Captain Ben is so knowledgeable and friendly and helped make our adventure so enjoyable. He took the time to make sure we could see the dolphins and manatee, but was careful to not encroach too far in their natural habitat. I highly recommend Captain Ben. If we make it back here someday we will definitely be taking one of his tours again. So much fun!!!
  2. Great time touring the bay with Ben as our captain. Saw about a dozen dolphins and one turtle. Also saw several variety of nesting birds. Ben diverted us from an approaching storm and gave us a great tour. All in our party had a great time.
  3. We saw lots of dolphins!! We had a great trip with Captain Ben early last month. We took a 2pm trip and were fortunate to see many pods of dolphins and a dozing manatee on our journey. Ben was very knowledgeable and careful to ensure the sea-life was not disturbed. The trip was leisurely and good fun. Thank you very much; our expectations were exceeded and my 12 year old can now say she saw dolphins, which she had always dreamed of. Good value for money.
  4. 12 of us girl friends booked a sunset tour with Salty Dolphin Tours. Boat was ready right on time and captain Ben was great! Dolphins were swimming along the boat, he made a pit stop for some of the gals, and he was just a pleasure the entire trip.
  5. I traveled to Anna Maria Island from Hudson, WI with eleven of my best girlfriends from high school to celebrate our 60th birthday’s. We call ourselves The Ya-Ya’s. The dolphin tour with Captain Ben was one of the best highlights of the trip! He is so knowledgeable and a lot of fun! We saw several dolphins jumping and following us in the wake of the boat. It was fabulous! Thank you Captain Ben! We’ll be back!
