Private tours are ideal for groups that desire a more intimate experience or want to avoid being exposed to other groups. Another benefit of private tours is the flexibility to determine how long you will stay in a given area.
If conditions are safe and suitable, you might be able swim and snorkel with dolphins. This could mean that you may have a chance to swim and snorkel with dolphins. But, this does not mean you can touch them. Wild dolphins have their own minds and are free to roam freely. Sometimes they will swim up to 3 feet from you. Other times, they will swim away from your face and you won't see them in the water. We don't feed or harass dolphins. We cannot guarantee swimming with dolphins. We do not believe that promising to swim with dolphins is ethical. We love the company of wild dolphins. On all of our boat tours, we follow and support the Marine Mammal Protection Act. If dolphins are in danger, we won't be able swim with them. It is at the captain's sole discretion.
Our photos section and social media offer a glimpse into the wildlife we might see. Every image on our website and social media was taken while on our tour. We attempt to update our social channels often with new pictures and frequently take pictures so you can keep up to date and see what we are currently seeing. Our Instagram and Facebook pages will show you what we have seen over the last few days or weeks. They can be found at the bottom. It is not unusual to see turtles, sharks or dolphins.

Although it may be possible to view captive dolphins in marine parks, it is much more enjoyable to see these amazing animals at their natural habitat. While wild dolphin behavior can't be predicted and sightings may not occur on every trip, our captains have been on the waters of St. Andrew Bay for years. They are experts in the areas where dolphins might be found. Our captains will ensure guests have a wonderful time. Dolphins are frequently seen communicating with each other and jumping around on many tours.
Shell Island is a nature preserve without any restrooms or other visitor facilities, such as trash bins, picnic tables or shade pavilions. There is no trash collection service. Island visitors are expected to take all their trash with them when they leave the Island.
Between January and mid April is the best time to travel to Panama. This is the hottest time of year, and it shows Panama at its best. It's worth visiting Panama in the other months of the year to enjoy local festivals and events.
