Frequently Asked Questions From Google...
What Is The Best Month To See Dolphins In Florida?​
The best time to see dolphins in Florida varies depending on the location. While it's always a good time to go on a dolphin tour and we see dolphins on 95%+ of our tours (cold and warm months), in general, the warmer months tend to be the best time to see dolphins as they are more active and visible during this time, but that doesn't mean you won't see dolphins in the colder months either. In the northern part of the state, the best time to see dolphins is typically from April to October. In the southern part of the state, the best time to see dolphins is typically from January to April.

It's important to note that the exact timing of when dolphins are most active and visible can vary from year to year and can be influenced by a variety of factors, such as water temperature, weather patterns, and the availability of food. Therefore, it's always a good idea to check with local experts or tour operators to get the most up-to-date information on when and where to see dolphins in Florida.
What Is The Best Time To See Dolphins On Anna Maria Island?
Anna Maria Island is located on the Gulf Coast of Florida and is home to a variety of marine life, including dolphins. The best time to see dolphins on Anna Maria Island will depend on a variety of factors, including the time of year, the weather, and the tides.
In general, dolphins can be seen in the waters around Anna Maria Island throughout the year.

​However, the best time to see dolphins may be during the warmer months, when the water is clearer and there is more activity in the ocean.

To increase your chances of seeing dolphins, it is a good idea to go out on a boat tour or take a guided kayak or stand-up paddleboard tour. These tours often have knowledgeable guides who can point out where the dolphins are likely to be and provide more information about these fascinating animals.

It is also a good idea to go out early in the morning or late in the afternoon, when the dolphins are more active. Be sure to bring a camera and binoculars so you can get a good view of the dolphins as they swim by.

Finally, remember to respect the dolphins and the other marine life you may see on your trip. Keep a safe distance from the dolphins and do not try to touch or feed them. It is important to protect these animals and their habitat for future generations to enjoy.
