Overview

This two-hour wildlife tour runs along the seven-mile stretch of Anna Maria Island’s white beaches. You will travel by boat through the clear waters of the Gulf and back bay while looking for bottlenose dolphins, which are the main focus. The guide shares detailed knowledge about the local area and points out dolphins as well as other animals you might see, such as sea turtles, manatees during certain seasons, eagles, and ospreys. The boat passes by Longboat Key and follows the coastline of Anna Maria Island. The crew will make a brief stop if dolphins are spotted to allow closer viewing. The tour requires a minimum of six passengers to depart; if that number is not reached, the operator will attempt to reschedule or offer a full refund. An experienced guide is included to help identify the wildlife and navigate the route.
