Out of the boat and into the water…

The dolphins are naturally curious and will meander around the boat to check things out.  This is your chance to get in the water in very close proximity to the wild bottlenose dolphins.  Watch and listen as they send messages to each other using creaks, whistles and body language. Did you know dolphins jump up to 20 feet in the air, pull their jaws, slap their tails on the surface of the water, all used as communication methods with other dolphins.

Although the front appendages are sometimes a shovel-like form, they contain the remains of five-digit skeletal remains that make up the pallets that the animal uses primarily as a stabilizer. The rear extensions are virtually nonexistent and consist of a pair of small pelvic bones deeply embedded in the connective tissue at the base of the tail. The dorsal fin is composed of subcutaneous dermal tissue and does not move with muscle movement. The fin or tail is also mainly dermal instead of the skeleton and consists of a pair of horizontally extending parasites. The dolphin movement is typical of the whale.

It comes from vertical oscillations of thrust, tail, and interference, and most species tested have continuous swimming speeds of up to 18.6 mph/hour and jump at these high speeds of 30 ft or more. Normal “cruising speeds” are approximately 23 to 25 miles/hour and are known to reach speeds of 30 miles/ hour if they are driving on the bow. Bow riding is when a dolphin rides the bow of a wave produced by a single-body boat.

Dolphin Groups that stay here all year round and spend a lot of time feeding and playing Shell Island waters. Sometimes when the boat is still in the water, the dolphins rise to the surface right next to us and bless us with their presence.
