The water in St Andrews Bay is ideal for novice swimmers. It is calm, shallow, open, and often full of life. We welcome all levels of expertise and ages to share an unforgettable lifetime in the water with us.
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!
Our Panama City Beach Dolphin Tours are limited to six passengers per trip. This lets our guests explore St. Andrew Bay in comfort, interact easily with the tour captain, and get a close look at the dolphins. You can take pictures, shoot video, and ask all the questions you want as your captain brings the tour boat as near as possible to the dolphins while being respectful and careful not to cause them any stress or harm.

Safety is our number one priority. We have a highly qualified crew who will ensure your safety. Comfortable boats are equipped with in-water stairs that allow for water-level input as well as safe return to deck.
Our guides have spent many years studying dolphin behavior and are experts in locating them. They also safely guide our guests how to get into the water and observe the dolphins in their natural environment. Your captain will also snorkel with you, showing you starfish, pufferfish and welch conchs.
Panama City Beach is the perfect spot for beginners to get the feel of snorkeling and it is also a great place to start a snorkel safari. Exploring along the jetty and out toward the entrance to the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico will offer the chance to spot tropical fish, crabs, rays, and other small marine animals.
Generally, there is a good chance of seeing dolphins any time the sun is out and the water is calm and clear. Feeding activities are normally seen on an outgoing tide. Your best bet is to choose a dolphin tour operator like Panama City Beach Dolphin Tours that is on the water nearly every day of the year.
