Shell Island is home to many bottlenose dolphins. These amazing marine mammals can be seen in their natural habitat during one of our Panama City Beach Dolphin Tours.
Only six people can take the Panama City Beach Dolphin Tours. The tour allows guests to explore St. Andrew Bay with ease, get to know the captain and have a closer look at the dolphins. As your captain takes the tour boat to the dolphins as possible, you can ask questions, take photos, and shoot video. However, he will be respectful of their needs and not cause any harm.
Come and join us for a fun boat excursion and a chance to see bottlenose dolphins – one of nature’s most charismatic characters. Call 448-222-0060 to reserve your spot on one of our Panama City Beach Dolphin Tours today!
We will get you in the water before they arrive. This will make it more likely that the dolphins swim to us, rather than to us. Blue Dolphin Tours is smaller than larger boats, which can carry as many as 150 people. We only have 6 passengers (children and adults included). You can be in the water quickly with your snorkel gear on without any disruptions or splashing that large groups often cause, which can sometimes scare the dolphins away. For larger groups of up to 30 people, we have five identical boats. We limit the number to six per boat. A large family blue dolphin for up to 15 people is also available. No pets are allowed on the boats.
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.
Since long, guests have enjoyed dolphin tours with us. We adhere to all guidelines for their safety and that of the dolphins. Additionally, all safety equipment required for US Coast Guard compliance is available on board our safe, comfortable boat tour boats. Our Panama City Beach Dolphin tours offer a safe, fun and enjoyable experience for guests of all ages. We make every effort to accommodate guests with disabilities, so please let our staff know.
Limit six guests per Panama City Beach Dolphin Tour. Our guests are able to enjoy St. Andrew Bay from comfort and interact with the tour captain while getting a close view of the dolphins. You are able to take photos and video and ask any questions as the captain brings you as close to the dolphins as possible. He is respectful and will not cause harm to them.
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.
