Our Dolphin & Island Tours last approximately 3 hours. Seasonally, departure times may vary. We currently leave the dock at 9:00 am and 12:30 pm.
You will have many options when it comes to how you spend your time so that you get the most out of your dolphin cruise. There are many options, including snorkeling on the grass flats of Shell Island and the jetties. This eco tour allows you to walk on the beaches and find starfishes, starfishes, crabs, fish and birds of every kind.
The Dolphin Tour boat is smaller than other larger tour boats, with a maximum capacity of six passengers. This includes children of all ages. The dolphins are often disturbed by large groups of people, and this can lead to them being driven away. We will get you in the water quickly, and, most importantly, we won't scare the dolphins away.
If conditions permit, guests are permitted to go in the water if dolphins are nearby. Safety is our primary concern. Your captain will guide you on how to safely snorkel around marine mammals.
You can be your own guide by renting a pontoon boat! Rentable pontoon boats are also available for those visitors who prefer to take control of their own boat. We will send you a Map that shows where we recommend snorkeling, sandbars or common areas for dolphin sightings.
We can accommodate up to 6 persons per boat. A maximum of 12 people is allowed. We can accommodate groups up to six people on each boat.
Your group will jump into the water first before the dolphins. This will make the dolphins curious and they will swim towards you instead of away. Since dolphins are wild animals, it is best to be uninterested in them. This can be attributed to those who are only interested in someone when they show little care. This is probably how mom met your dad.
The private dolphin tour lasts 2 hours. We reserve the boat only for you and your group. Coast Guard regulations say that the maximum number of passengers is 6. This includes infants and children.
You can book a private tour and reserve the whole boat for you. This is your personal tour. You can customize the tour to suit your needs. Private charters can accommodate up to six guests.
We leave from the docks at Off the Hook Bar & Grill at the foot of the foot of the Thomas Drive bridge, 1101 Bayview Avenue Panama City, FL 32401.
You can snorkel all you want on your boat at no extra cost. The onboard cooler will provide complimentary Capri Suns or bottled water for your refreshments. You can also bring your own drinks, snacks, and BYOB.

On your private dolphin tour, your privacy will be ensured since your boat will have just your loved ones or group, and the captain. Keep in mind that the Coast Guard has set the maximum number of passengers at 6, kids of all ages included.
Our mission is to work with purpose. Panama City Beach dolphin tours are educational experiences that allow you to appreciate and understand wildlife. We are an eco-friendly company and do everything possible to protect wildlife. You will be a blessing to dolphins if you choose an eco-tour company that cares.
Dolphins are most active at dawn, between 10 a.m. and noon, and from 2 p.m. to dusk. A good pair of telephoto lenses or binoculars can be extremely useful for spotting dolphins.
Islamorada and Key Largo are popular locations for seeing the animals in the wild. The Florida Keys are a popular breeding ground for dolphins, so you can see them all year.
A: You can get to Shell Island by boat or jet ski. The St. Andrews Shuttle to Shell Island costs $24.95 for adults, $17.95 for children ages 2 to 12, and free for infants ages 0 to 1. There are also several locations where you can rent a jet ski or pontoon boat.
