You will be visiting Panama City Pass, and exploring the area where St. Andrews Bay meets the Gulf of Mexico during your excursion. You will see many dolphins here, and we will show you how to interact with them in water.

Our boats are actually dive boats. Children will love seeing the dolphins, and being able to snorkel in the sea like SCUBA divers.

Shell Island Dolphin

This Dolphin Tour boat has a maximum of six passengers. That's six more than the 175-person capacity of larger tour boats. Larger groups create too much noise, which can disturb the dolphins, driving them away. The best part is that we will quickly get you in to the water, and not scare away the dolphins.

We depart the docks at Off the Hook Bar & Grill on the Thomas Drive bridge. 1101 Bayview Avenue Panama City FL 32401.

Do you actually swim with dolphins at Discovery Cove

Our guides have been observing dolphin behavior for many years and are experts in locating bottlenose dolphins. They also safely guide our guests to how to enter water and observe the dolphins in their natural habitat. Your captain will accompany you on a snorkel trip to show you starfishes, pufferfishes and other types of sea animals.

We will get you as close as possible to dolphins while still ensuring your safety and their safety. It's up the dolphins to decide how close and how often they interact with us. Passive observation is what we do. It simply means that we allow the dolphins to come to us. The dolphins of St. Andrews Bay are extremely playful and interactive. Guests often have incredible encounters that they will never forget.

It was a great time. Captain was amazing. The captain even showed us a jelly fish that doesn’t sting. We stopped at a shell island with lots of shells. We had a great time and we will be back.

Frequently Asked Questions

It's all worth it once you get there because the water is the most beautiful I've ever seen. The water is so clear that it feels like you're swimming in a pool. We had no idea what to expect, so we went with the intention of spending a few hours on the island. Come prepared to spend the entire day!

Dolphins, loggerhead turtles, green sea turtles, ghost crabs, beach mice, nine-banded armadillos, alligators that live in the island's lake, marsh rabbits, racoons, and other wildlife can be found on Shell Island.

Wear nothing but a swimsuit. Dolphins have extremely sensitive skin, and because you will be able to touch them during your interaction, we recommend that you refrain from wearing sunscreen, oils, or perfumes.
