St. Andrew Bay's dolphins are wild animals. Therefore, it is difficult to predict when they will be most active. The season, weather, water temperature, tide cycles and availability of prey are all factors that influence dolphin behavior. There is generally a good chance that dolphins will be seen when the sun is shining and the water is clear and calm. Feeding activities can usually be seen at an outgoing tide. You are best to find a dolphin tour operator such as Panama City Beach Dolphin Tours, which is available almost every day of the year.
A dolphin tour is also a wonderful sightseeing opportunity. All tour boats depart from the docks at Adventure at Sea in Lower Grand Lagoon and cruise south, crossing the pass between St. Andrew Bay and the Gulf of Mexico on the way toward Shell Island. You can enjoy the view and spot sea birds and maybe a sea turtle while keeping a sharp eye open for dolphins.
Florida law forbids dolphins from swimming or touching them. This is to ensure their well-being. The Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission has officers on the water to enforce these rules. You may have the opportunity to see dolphins from your boat, which will give you a great view and great photos. You can have wild dolphin encounters with dolphins by taking one of our Shell Island Snorkel Tours. Dolphins often swim close to snorkelers.
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.
A dolphin tour makes for a fantastic sightseeing experience. All tour boats leave Adventure at Sea in Lower Grand Lagoon. Then they cruise south across the pass between St. Andrew Bay & the Gulf of Mexico to reach Shell Island. Enjoy the views and look out for seabirds, sea turtles, and dolphins.
