10+ reviews
Kelley restarted Dolphin Connection when she retired from teaching to live in Ingleside by the Bay in June 2020. Kelley has been trying to get close to marine life as long as she can remember. She joined the Oceanic Society for two tours near Grand Bahama island to study the Atlantic Spotted Dolphin. In addition, Kelley has certified twice as a scuba diver. Her hobby -when she's not after dolphins- is gyotaku, the Japanese are of fish rubbing. Kelley confesses that nothing compares to spending time with the dolphins on their trips.

    Amazing Time! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Close Encounters • 3 adults

    We had the absolute best time on our private boat tour with Captain Kelley! My husband, myself, and our 23-year-old special needs daughter had such a wonderful experience from start to finish. Captain Kelley was right on time, incredibly knowledgeable, and so personable. She showed us around the area, shared interesting information about the boats and local surroundings, and made the entire experience fun and relaxing. And the dolphins!!! 🐬 We got to see over a dozen dolphins, and several of them came right up alongside the boat! It was such a special experience and definitely a highlight of our trip. We truly felt like our money was well spent. Captain Kelley made sure we had a memorable experience, and we would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a fun, personal, and unforgettable boat tour! Thank you, Captain Kelley, for an amazing time! We’ll definitely be back! 🐬☀️🚤 10 out of 10 — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!

    August fishing trip

    Ships of CC Channel & Dolphins!

    Kelly was awsome! She is very flexible and welcoming. I was very hesitant at first cause i have a 1.5year old but it was awsome! The whole family enjoyed the experience. She has an open dialogue with you throughout the entire experience and it was a lot more personal which made the experience that much better. we saw so many dolphins with their babies and saw multiple pods of dolphins. We were also able to see a dolphin jump in the air with a fish in its mouth. definitely recommend. Follow the dolphin connection signs when you go. I was initially confused because the ad says dolphin dreams.

    Was awesome!!!

    Close Encounters • 2 adults

    Today my husband and I had an incredible journey with Captain Kelly )))) This incredible lady immediately met us with a smile and created that incredible feeling when you meet someone for the first time in your life, but it seems as if you have long been close friends))) She showed and told us about dolphins, about ships that were nearby. The conversation was very interesting, but the main thing, of course, is dolphins! We observed how these incredible creatures were busy chasing fish, saw a newborn dolphin with its mother and much more. Thank you very much to Captain Kelly for a fun and quality pastime. I recommend her tour to everyone))) You won't regret it! 10/10

    Wonderful experience

    Close Encounters • 2 adults

    My daughter and I came for a gymnastics meet and wanted to find something we could do the morning of her meet. Captain Kelly was amazing. There was a dense fog when we had it booked and she called me to postpone it until the fog lifted. It was great communication. She called me about an hour later, told me it had lifted and waited a good 45 minutes for us to get there. We saw some amazing pods, she even told us about the shrimp boats and we watched them pull their shrimp in. I highly recommend taking this tour if you get a chance!!

    Response from Captain

    Thank you Ashlee and Emma!!! I was so glad we caught the shrimper and got to see a brand new baby newborn. Ya’ll’s enthusiasm was catching!!! Thank you!!!

    Dolphins Everywhere!

    Close Encounters • 4 adults

    I'm starting to think Captain Kelley knows the dolphins. We went out saw them almost immediately and then went on to find a pod of 8 or so dolphins with their babies, swimming all around our boat. she was very personable and my family and I had a great time.

    Response from Captain

    Thank you soooo much Ryan!! I thoroughly enjoyed ya’lls company!!
