We'll get you in to the water before the dolphins do. So the dolphins are more likely than not to swim away to us to find us. Blue Dolphin Tours has 6 passengers, including children, as opposed to larger tour boats carrying up to 150. We can quickly get you into the water wearing your snorkel gear without the disruptions and splashing that large groups cause. These often scare the dolphins away. For larger groups up to 30 people we have 5 identical boats. There is a maximum of 6 per boat. There is also a Large Family Blue Dolphin that can accommodate up to 15 guests. Pets are not allowed onboard boats.
No trip to Panama City Beach is complete without a dolphin tour. While you might see dolphins at many of the various attractions and theme parks located throughout Florida, seeing these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat is truly awe-inspiring.
St. Andrew Bay has one of the most significant resident populations of bottlenose Dolphins. These iconic gray dolphins are well-known to many people through television, movies and marine parks. Although wild dolphins are found in St. Andrew Bay, they are used and comfortable with humans. Boaters can often be seen among the feeding, playing, and swimming dolphins.

We will put you in the sea before the dolphins arrive. The dolphins will be more likely to swim towards us than away, this way. Blue Dolphin Tours can only carry 6 people (children included) and is not like larger tour boats which can hold up to 150 passengers. With your snorkel gear on, we can get you in the water quickly without causing any splashing or disruptions. This is often what scares the dolphins away. There are 5 boats that can be used for larger groups. Maximum 6 people per boat. For up to 15 persons, we also have a large Family Blue Dolphin. We cannot allow pets on our boats.
You may have seen captive dolphins in a marine park, but it is far more interesting to watch these beautiful animals when they are healthy and free, at home in their natural environment. And even though the behavior of wild dolphins cannot be predicted and a sighting on every trip is not guaranteed, our tour captains have years of experience being on the waters of St. Andrew Bay nearly every day. They know the places where dolphins are most likely to be found and our captains do their best to make sure guests have a great time. On most tours, dolphins are spotted jumping, playing, searching for food, and communicating with one another.

We'll take you into the water prior to the dolphins arrive. By doing this, dolphins are more inclined to swim with us and come to us. Blue Dolphin Tours only has six passengers (children also included), as opposed to the larger boats that can transport up to 150 people. Blue Dolphin Tours can get you on the water quickly, with your snorkel gear, and without the hassles of large groups. We also don't have to worry about the dolphins being scared away by all the splashing and disturbances large groups can cause. Five identical boats are available for larger groups. The new Large Family Blue Dolphin can carry up to 15 passengers. No pets allowed on the boat.

The best time to see and swim with dolphins is in the early part of the morning when they are feeding. You might also go out later in the day before the sun sets. You can spot dolphins at any time of day, really, but less traffic makes them easier to spot.
