"St. Andrews bay is home to more than 2,900 species. It is America's most varied estuary. The clear waters of St. Andrews Bay can hold almost every species you could imagine. It is also one coast estuary with the highest risk. We must continue to protect it. Mike Brim Executive Director St. Andrews Bay Environmental Science Team.
Let's look at the top Shell Island dolphin tours available for tourists who want to view dolphins in their natural habitat.
Note that not all tour companies and rental jet skis have the same minimum age requirements as other companies. Therefore, this option may not be suitable for families with children.
St. Andrew Bay's dolphins are wild animals. Therefore, it is difficult to predict when they will be most active. The season, weather, tide cycles and availability of prey all 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.
Because we are exploring the dolphins’ natural habitat, it’s always possible that we won’t be able to find where the dolphins are playing today. However, our guides have been doing this for years, and know all the places the dolphins love to be. Virtually all of our tours encounter at least a few of the dolphins that make up the largest population of wild dolphins in the world.
