Let's take an overview of some of the most popular Shell Island dolphin tours, for those who wish to see dolphins in natural habitat.
Although you may have seen dolphins in captivity in a marine park or aquarium, it is much more fascinating to see these magnificent animals in their natural habitat. Even though wild dolphin behavior cannot be predicted, and sightings on all trips are not guaranteed, tour captains have a lot of experience on the waters of St. Andrew Bay almost every day. Our captains know where dolphins can be found, and they do everything possible to ensure guests have a good time. Dolphins can be seen on most tours jumping, playing, looking for food and communicating with each other.
You should be aware that most tour and jet ski rental companies require minimum age for their riders. This means this option may not suit families with young children.

The dolphins of Panama City Beach are all year long! For your dolphin tour, we go the extra mile (or 10, depending on how far you want to travel) in order to help you realize your wild dolphin dream! We leave from a marina very close to dolphins, so you will have the best chance possible to see them.
If the weather is safe and clear, you may have the opportunity to swim and snorkel among dolphins. This means that we might get to go into the water near the dolphins. It does not necessarily mean that they will allow you to touch them. They are wild dolphins, and have their own mind. Sometimes they will come within 3 feet of you. Other times they will swim away and you won't be able to see them while in the water. We do not feed, harass or harass dolphins. We don't guarantee that you will swim with dolphins. We believe that promising swimming with dolphins is not ethical. We welcome wild dolphins into our lives on their terms. All boat tours are conducted in accordance with the Marine Mammal Protection Act. We won't swim with dolphins that are swimming in dangerous areas. This is entirely up to the captain.
Florida requires that all jet ski rental companies have a valid driver’s license. Drivers born after 1988 must pass a test to obtain a temporary boating safety licence.

Shell island beach was visited twice. The first time we paid PS7.50 to park on the "island", the second time we drove a bit further along the coast to Llanddwywe and found a public parking lot. It is a beautiful, clean beach.
