Shell Island Dolphin Tours Jet Ski

Where in FL can you swim with dolphins

There is nothing better than a one-on-one encounter with one of nature's most intelligent creatures. Dolphin Seafari offers private tours to individuals or groups who wish to see the dolphins of Shell Island from their own eyes.

Shell Island is a popular destination for tourists visiting Panama City Beach. The island is small and undeveloped making it a great spot to see Florida's natural beauty.

The majority of what you will need is available on board. However, you can always bring your own items. You should always bring a towel, polarized sunglasses, and a jacket or sweater just in case. The water is cooler than the land, thanks to the breeze from the open boat. You can bring your own snacks and beverages.

Join us for a boat ride and the chance to see bottlenose dolphins, one of nature's most charismatic creatures. To reserve your spot on our Panama City Beach Dolphin Tours, call (850) 754 2967 today!

Private Shell Island Tours

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.

Tours depart every 2 hours, giving you plenty of options for time slots. Sunset tours can also be arranged!

St. Andrew Bay's dolphins can be seen at any time of the day. They are wild animals and it is hard to predict when they will be best. Dolphin behavior is affected by many factors, including the weather, tides cycles, availability of prey, water temperatures and temperature. Dolphins are most likely to be seen in calm, clear waters when the sun is out. Feeding activities usually take place on an outgoing tide. Panama City Beach Dolphin Tours is a great option. They are on the water almost every day of year.

The tours are available at all times, with a departure every two hours. There are many time slots to choose. Sunset tours also available
