We will get you in the water before they arrive. This will make it more likely that the dolphins swim to us, rather than to us. Blue Dolphin Tours is smaller than larger boats, which can carry as many as 150 people. We only have 6 passengers (children and adults included). You can be in the water quickly with your snorkel gear on without any disruptions or splashing that large groups often cause, which can sometimes scare the dolphins away. For larger groups of up to 30 people, we have five identical boats. We limit the number to six per boat. A large family blue dolphin for up to 15 people is also available. No pets are allowed on the boats.
While you might have seen dolphins at sea in a marine reserve, it is still far more fun to observe these majestic animals in their natural environment. Our captains are experienced in the waterways of St. Andrew Bay and can predict wild dolphin behavior, but they cannot guarantee sightings. Our captains are familiar with the best places to find dolphins and will make sure that guests have a blast. On most tours, you will see dolphins playing, hunting for food, and communicating among themselves.
St. Andrew Bay is home of one of the largest populations of bottlenose dolphins in the world. These are the famous gray dolphins most people know from TV, movies and marine parks. Although the dolphins of St. Andrew Bay live in wild environments, they are used to humans and boaters often find themselves amongst a group of feeding, swimming and playing dolphins.

St. Andrew Bay dolphins can be seen at any time of the year, but it is not possible for us to know when they are most likely to be there. Dolphin behavior is affected by many factors, including the weather conditions, water temperatures and tide cycles, as well as availability of prey. Dolphins can be seen whenever the sun shines and the water clear. Feeding activities usually take place on an outgoing tide. Panama City Beach Dolphin Tours is a great option. They are on the water almost every day of year.
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.

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.
