It is entirely up to you. While the boat tour is generally more popular for young children and those with limited mobility, it's up to you. Waverunners and boats may be better for your group, but we can help you decide.
Since years, Shell Island has been popular with boaters, tourists, and everyone in between. It has been there since the 1800s when the county was founded. The island's length is 7 miles and the waters are bursting with life. While on your Dolphin Tour, look out for seashells and watch for Bottlenose dolphins. Panama City Beach is an amazing place to visit on your next family vacation.
Unlike other companies, Adventures at Sea offers two different types of water based tours. For the more adventurous, the Waverunner Tour is a must-have experience. Our guide will show you all the sights of the bay, but you’ll get to set the pace. Whether you want a slow and luxurious trip, or a race over the waves, we’ll make sure you get to Shell Island and back, safe and sound.
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, and water temperatures. The sun is out, the water is clear, and there are good chances to see dolphins. Feeding activities usually occur on an outgoing tide. Shell Island Dolphin Tours is the best dolphin tour operator. It is usually on the water almost every single day.
Our Adventures At Sea guides then will take guests on a tour around Shell Island to see the home of one among the largest schools worldwide of bottlenoses. We know all their favorite places for hiding--and where they love to show it off.
Book a private tour and have the boat all to yourselves for 2- 6 guests, or book a group tour with other guests on the boat. All our tours are 6 guests maximum.
