About AquaBear Adventures
AquaBear Adventures operates a 50-foot stable catamaran offering family-friendly snorkeling and dolphin-spotting expeditions into the clear, shallow waters of St. Joseph Bay and surrounding marine sanctuaries. Their professional crew provides detailed snorkeling instruction as you explore 2-3 feet of water teeming with starfish, sand dollars, sea turtles, and tropical fish species. The spacious sun-shaded deck accommodates up to 49 passengers comfortably, while trip-to-tip excursions feature easy ramp access for beach exploration at beautiful St. Joseph Peninsula State Park. All vessels are U.S. Coast Guard inspected with onboard restrooms, and trips operate daily weather permitting.
