The Panama City Beach Vacation isn�t Complete without Seeing Dolphins A Panama City Beach Vacation is incomplete without seeing the Dolphins. Dolphin Tours are a must-do. The things haven't changed much in the past years. We are proud to offer unforgettable Dolphin Tours around Shell Island State Park and St. Andrews State Park.
A dolphin tour can also be a great sightseeing opportunity. All tour boats depart Adventure at Sea in Lower Grand Lagoon. They cruise south and cross the pass between St. Andrew Bay, the Gulf of Mexico and Shell Island. While you can take in the beautiful view, spot seabirds and possibly a turtle, keep your eyes open for dolphins.
We cruise around Shell Island and the waters surrounding St. Andrews Bay in Panama City Beach and look for any kind of wildlife or sea life. On our boat tours, we have the opportunity to see different species of wildlife every day. Everyday is different depending on what the environment and wildlife are in the area. We adapt our boat routes daily to offer you the best possible dolphin tour and pleasant boat ride. Shell Island has a variety of marine life, snorkeling areas, and stops that we make. This is a great thing because every tour you take with us will be different. You are encouraged to tell your captain if there are any specific requests that you would like to see and do on your boat tour.
While it may be possible to view captive dolphins in marine parks, it is much more enjoyable to observe these beautiful animals at their natural habitat. While wild dolphin behavior can't be predicted and sightings may not occur on every trip, our captains have been on the water in St. Andrew Bay for years. They are experts in the areas where dolphins might be found. Our captains will ensure that you have an unforgettable experience. Dolphins are frequently seen jumping, searching out food, and communicating with their fellow passengers on many tours.
