You can swim with Panama City's wild bottle-nose dolphins on your trip in super-fast boats that are specially built for visiting and finding them. We are located on Panama City Beach near Seaside Beach, Rosemary Beach Santa Rosa, Destin and Mexico Beach & Cape San Blas, as well as all of South Walton FL 30A and Beaches.
A dolphin tour can also be a great sightseeing opportunity. All tour boats depart Adventure at Sea in Lower Grand Lagoon. They cruise south and cross the pass between St. Andrew Bay, the Gulf of Mexico and Shell Island. While you can take in the beautiful view, spot seabirds and possibly a turtle, keep your eyes open for dolphins.
The dolphins of St. Andrew Bay are wild animals, so it is impossible to predict the best time to see them. Dolphin behavior is influenced by the season, weather conditions, water temperatures, tide cycles, and availability of prey among many other factors. Generally, there is a good chance of seeing dolphins any time the sun is out and the water is calm and clear. Feeding activities are normally seen on an outgoing tide. Your best bet is to choose a dolphin tour operator like Panama City Beach Dolphin Tours that is on the water nearly every day of the year.
With options ranging from half day to full day adventures, group or private guided tours, guests can enjoy an exhilarating dolphin tour with choices from a collection of companies including Lagoon Pontoons, Adventures at Sea, Aquatic Adventures and more. Some dolphin tours even let guests snorkel to encounter these creatures up close, along with other sea life such as sand dollars, star fish, hermit crabs, shells and more. Don’t forget your camera to capture pictures and videos, as your dolphin tour is sure to be one to remember!

The best time to see and swim with dolphins is in the early part of the morning when they are feeding. You might also go out later in the day before the sun sets. You can spot dolphins at any time of day, really, but less traffic makes them easier to spot.
