Adventures at Sea offers two types of water-based tours, which is different from other companies. Waverunner Tours are for those who want to be more adventurous. The guide will take you around the bay and you can set the pace. You can choose to go slow, luxurious or race through the waves. We'll ensure you reach Shell Island safely and sound.
It is a three-hour Shell Island Dolphin and Snorkeling Tour that is a must-do on any Panama City Beach trip!
Our Shell Island Dolphin Tours are limited to six passengers per trip. This lets our guests explore St. Andrew Bay in comfort, interact easily with the tour captain, and get a close look at the dolphins. You can take pictures, shoot video, and ask all the questions you want as your captain brings the tour boat as near as possible to the dolphins while being respectful and careful not to cause them any stress or harm.
All our snorkeling trips include full snorkeling gear! Conditions at local snorkeling spots are constantly changing. We will take your snorkeling trip to the best snorkeling spots on the day of the Dolphin and Snorkeling Tour. We snorkel often in seagrass beds, artificial reefs, and sandbars. We'll go to great lengths to get you to the best spots.
Although you may have seen dolphins in captivity in a marine park or aquarium, it is much more fascinating to see these magnificent animals in their natural habitat. Even though wild dolphin behavior cannot be predicted, and sightings on all trips are not guaranteed, tour captains have a lot of experience on the waters of St. Andrew Bay almost every day. Our captains know where dolphins can be found, and they do everything possible to ensure guests have a good time. Dolphins can be seen on most tours jumping, playing, looking for food and communicating with each other.
Shell Island is a beautiful place that has attracted boaters, visitors, and many others for years. Actually, this county has been around since the 1800s. The island itself measures 7 miles long, and the water is full of life. As you go on your Dolphin Tour you'll see many seashells in the sugary white beaches. Panama City Beach is a unique place that you should visit when on your next family vacation.
Your trip aboard the super-fast boats, specially designed to find and visit with dolphins, will take you along Panama City's native pod of wild bottlenosed dolphins. Blue Dolphin Tours can only carry 6 passengers on some boats and 7-15 people on other boats (children of any age are also welcome). We can quickly get you on the water wearing your snorkel gear without the disruptions and splashing that large groups often cause, which often scares dolphins away.
Shell Island is a local must-see location for Panama City Beach visitors looking for the unspoiled white-sand beach experience. The island offers plenty of beach space and peaceful inshore waters where swimming and snorkeling are great.
It's one of the best places in Panama City Beach. Shallow pools can be found with fish and sea life. Plus the clear water in the Gulf is perfect to get out with the family. So bring your snorkeling gear or rent it from a local tour operator.
