About Dolphin Connection Ingleside

Captain Kelley, who restarted the business after retiring from teaching, brings experience studying Atlantic spotted dolphins and certified scuba diving expertise to each outing. Captain Pat Fitzgerald contributes extensive knowledge of bottlenose dolphin behavior and local islands to guide tours toward productive dolphin sightings. The tour suits visitors seeking wildlife viewing opportunities in coastal waters near Ingleside, Texas, combining close marine animal encounters with local bird watching.
