Dolphin Tour Panama City Beach

Where is the best place to swim with wild dolphins









On your trip with super-fast boats, you will be able to swim with Panama City’s resident pod wild bottlenose dolphins. We are situated in Panama City Beach and close to Santa Rosa Beach, Seaside, Rosemary Beach and Santa Rosa as well all of South Walton FL's Beaches.



A dolphin tour is a great way to see the area. All tour boats depart Adventure at Sea, Lower Grand Lagoon. On the way to Shell Island, they cross the pass between St. Andrew Bay (the Gulf of Mexico) and cruise south. The view is breathtaking and you may spot seabirds or sea turtles. Keep your eyes peeled for dolphins.

While it may be possible to view captive dolphins in marine parks, it is much more enjoyable to observe these amazing 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 waters of St. Andrew Bay for years. They know where dolphins might be found, so they make sure guests have a great experience. Dolphins can often be seen jumping, playing and searching for food on many tours.
