Our purpose is to serve a purpose. We provide Panama City Beach dolphin tours that are educational and allow for a better appreciation and understanding of wildlife. We take precautions to ensure that we don't disturb or harm wildlife. We will be grateful to the dolphins for choosing an eco-tour operator who cares.
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 mission is simple: To provide Panama City Beach dolphin tour as an educational experience, which will allow a greater appreciation and understanding of wildlife. We are an ecofriendly tour, and we take all necessary steps to ensure no wildlife is disturbed or harmed. Your choice to be an eco-tour guide will make dolphins happy. We will, too.
