A dolphin cruise is a must on any Panama City Beach vacation. It is possible to see dolphins in many Florida attractions and thematic parks. However, it is incredible to see these amazing creatures in their natural habitat. Panama City Beach offers many dolphin tours for locals and visitors of any age. These tours take them to the best areas in the Gulf of Mexico: the Grand Lagoon (where schools of dolphins love to congregate) and St. Andrew Bay (where they prefer to be seen). Jet Skis or WaveRunners can both be rented, and those seeking an adventurous ride may rent them. Those who wish to enjoy these majestic animals in comfort can visit their home from a tourboat.

Shell Island, St Andrews Bay, and the Gulf of Mexico offer exciting and unique explorations. The island's grass flats and shallows are great for snorkeling with the whole family. We offer private and small group tours to provide a unique wildlife adventure. This tour includes everything! We have been doing this for over thirty years and are experts at family fun.
St. Andrew Bay hosts one of world's largest resident populations (the iconic gray dolphins) of bottlenose dolphins. This is the area most people are most familiar with from movies, television and marine parks. Although the dolphins in St. Andrew Bay are wild, they are used the human presence. Boaters are often found among the group of dolphins, which are swimming, feeding, or playing.

St. Andrew Bay's dolphins are wild animals. Therefore, it is difficult to predict when they will be most active. The season, weather, water temperature, tide cycles and availability of prey are all factors that influence dolphin behavior. There is generally a good chance that dolphins will be seen when the sun is shining and the water is clear and calm. Feeding activities can usually be seen at an outgoing tide. You are best to find a dolphin tour operator such as Panama City Beach Dolphin Tours, which is available almost every day of the year.
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.
Enjoy a wonderful dolphin encounter with our four different interactive swimming with dolphins programs, where you'll be able to play and swim with the cutest marine animal that ever existed. You only need to choose your favorite and have fun.
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.
