A dolphin tour is an essential part of any vacation to Panama City Beach. You can see dolphins at many Florida attractions, but it's amazing to be able to view these incredible creatures in their natural habitat. A variety of dolphin tours are available for visitors and locals in Panama City Beach. These tours take you to the best spots in the Gulf of Mexico, including the Grand Lagoon, St. Andrew Bay and other areas where schools of dolphins gather. Jet Skis and WaveRunners are available for rent, while those who prefer a more relaxed ride can take a tour boat to see these amazing animals.
You may have seen captive dolphins in a marine park, but it is far more interesting to watch these beautiful animals when they are healthy and free, at home in their natural environment. And even though the behavior of wild dolphins cannot be predicted and a sighting on every trip is not guaranteed, our tour captains have years of experience being on the waters of St. Andrew Bay nearly every day. They know the places where dolphins are most likely to be found and our captains do their best to make sure guests have a great time. On most tours, dolphins are spotted jumping, playing, searching for food, and communicating with one another.
A dolphin cruise is also an excellent way to enjoy the sights. All tour boats depart Adventure at Sea Lower Grand Lagoon docks and travel south to Shell Island. You can enjoy the scenery and spot seabirds.
It is possible to have seen dolphins in captivity at a marine park. However, it is more exciting to see them in their natural environment. Although wild dolphin behavior is unpredictable and not possible to predict, the tour captains have many years of experience operating on the waters around St. Andrew Bay almost every single day. They are experts in the areas where dolphins are most common and do their best to ensure that guests have an enjoyable time. Most dolphins can be seen playing, searching for food, communicating and jumping on all tours.

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.
