On your excursion you will visit Panama City Pass as well as the area where St. Andrews Bay converges with the Gulf of Mexico. Here you will find dolphins. We will show the way to get in and close up.
What a great idea for spending a day! We took our 22-year-old son, along with his friends, out for half the day. The pontoonboat was wonderful as was the whole day. Rob was wonderful and everyone had an amazing time.
We had a wonderful trip. The captain was amazing. He even showed us a jellyfish that doesn't sting. The shell island had many shells so we stopped there. Everyone had a great time. We will definitely be back.
Boat Tours are fun for the entire family, no matter what their age. When you just want to relax, take in the beautiful views, and go swimming with our most famous residents, the Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins, a Lagoon Pontoons boat tour is just what you need.
St. Andrews Bay Charters' private charters allow for 12 passengers (maximum 13 per boat) to enjoy Panama City dolphin tours and Shell Island excursions. This gives you a more personal and intimate experience. You won't have to share your boat with anyone.
Our boats can be used as real diving boats. The children will love to see dolphins and have the chance to snorkel in water just like SCUBA divers.
The second leg of your St Andrews Bay wildlife excursion will take you to the best. These include pelicans, herons and ospreys as well as underwater marine life such as hermit crabs and sea horses. Shell Island is a great place to find sand dollars or shells. You can also snorkel on grass flats or explore St. Andrews Bay in the Gulf of Mexico.
For your Florida vacation, you want a fun and unique experience. Gabby's Dolphin Tours PCB has more information about Shell Island snorkeling, and dolphin tours. We look forward seeing you soon!
Our dolphin and island tours take you to Shell Island, where you can also observe dolphins. We can walk along the shore, look for shells, swim and snorkel in the protected waters.
We will swim parallel to the dolphins, rather than swimming towards them or reaching for them (which is also illegal), and we will let them come to us (best, most ethical way).
After reaching your snorkeling spot, your able captain will enter the water alongside you and guide you on the best way of locating marine life like seashells. By choosing this private tour, you will be able to choose how to pass your tour time so that it can be as exactly as you had envisioned it.
The second leg will be spent spotting the best St Andrews Bay has for wildlife. You'll see birds such as pelicans and herons, along with underwater marine life like starfish, blue crabs and sea horses. Shell Island has sand dollars, shells and other treasures. You can also go snorkeling in grass flats, and explore St. Andrews Bay on the Gulf of Mexico.
You'll snorkel to the satisfaction of your heart aboard our boat. Capri Suns, bottled water and complimentary refreshments will be available in the cooler. You can bring your own beverages and snacks.
It's all worth it once you get there because the water is the most beautiful I've ever seen. The water is so clear that it feels like you're swimming in a pool. We had no idea what to expect, so we went with the intention of spending a few hours on the island. Come prepared to spend the entire day!
Dolphins, loggerhead turtles, green sea turtles, ghost crabs, beach mice, nine-banded armadillos, alligators that live in the island's lake, marsh rabbits, racoons, and other wildlife can be found on Shell Island.
Wear nothing but a swimsuit. Dolphins have extremely sensitive skin, and because you will be able to touch them during your interaction, we recommend that you refrain from wearing sunscreen, oils, or perfumes.
