“Captain Jack positioned us precisely at the moment to see the dolphins swam right underneath out feet, it was a very unique experience.“
If we swim parallel to dolphins instead of swimming towards them or reaching out to them (which is also illegal), then this will be the best, most ethical way to allow dolphins to come to our aid.
Cancellations received within 24 hours of the tour time/date will not be honored. You will be charged for the entire tour.
You'll snorkel to the satisfaction of your heart aboard our boat. Capri Suns, bottled water and complimentary refreshments will be available in the cooler. You can bring your own beverages and snacks.
You will enter the water before the dolphins arrive. In this manner, the dolphins will get curious and instead of swimming away, they’ll be drawn towards us. The dolphins can be finicky and the more we "pretend" they are not there, the more curious they become.
This is what you can relate to if someone doesn't show any care. Ask your mother-in-law about this. She likely experienced the exact same situation while dating your dad.
The friendly captains from the local area have decades of combined experience and knowledge about the marine life of the area, including manatees and dolphins. They are happy to tailor your trip and will show you the beauty of this amazing place.

Our Dolphin & Island Tours typically last for three hours. The departure time varies depending on season. At the moment, we leave the dock around 9:00 a.m. & 12:30 p.m.
We’ll get you as close to dolphins as we possibly can while also guaranteeing your safety and theirs. Ultimately, it’s up to the dolphins how close they want to get and how much they want to interact. We practice what we call “passive observation,” which means — in simple terms — that we let the dolphins come to us. Our dolphins in St. Andrews Bay are extraordinarily playful and interactive, though, and our guests frequently have amazing encounters they’ll remember the rest of their lives.
Our Dolphin Boat Tours provide a more personal experience with dolphins. These tours last two hours and give you the opportunity to swim and snorkel with them. You can arrange your private tour. Our captains can help you find the best places where dolphins can be seen.
You will arrive at your snorkeling destination where your captain will get in the water with you and show you how to find seashells and other sea life. By choosing this private tour, you will be able to choose how to pass your tour time so that it can be as exactly as you had envisioned it.
Want to book a private tour for your group? Our private charter options allow customers to add additional time to their private dolphin tour (starting at 2 or 3 hours) to add additional activities (ex: additional snorkeling location, more island time, etc.). Boats can accommodate 6 passengers per boat. Your designated captain will instruct you on how to get in the water and see the dolphins in their natural habitat. Next, experience a guided snorkel tour to observe other sea life around Shell Island!
There are many birds that can be seen out of water. They include raptors like bald Eagles and Ospreys as well as shorebirds like great Blue Herons and Egrets. Seabirds include magnificent frigatebirds (terns) and terns. There are also deer sometimes found on the island.

Shell Island in Panama City Beach is a great place to see wild dolphin pods. Shell Island, located across the water from Saint Andrew's Park, is 7 miles of incredible beach bliss. This natural wonder is one of the best places in Panama City Beach to see and swim with dolphins.
Dolphins are most likely to be seen when the sun is shining and the water is calm and clear. Feeding activities are typically observed on an incoming tide. Choose a dolphin tour operator that is on the water nearly every day of the year, such as Panama City Beach Dolphin Tours.
