St. Andrew Bay dolphins are wild animals. It is not possible to predict the best times to see them. Dolphin behavior can be affected by weather conditions, water temperatures and tide cycles as well as availability of prey.

The best option is to go with a dolphin tour operator, such as Panama City Beach Dolphin Tours. They are usually on the water almost every day.
