It is possible to have seen dolphins captive in a marine sanctuary, but it is more exciting to watch them in their natural habitat. 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 know where dolphins are most common and do everything they can to ensure that guests have an amazing time. Dolphins can often be seen jumping, playing and searching for food on many tours.
The tour takes you to the best spots for snorkeling and swimming with dolphins around the island. Our guides will guide you on a cruise to these locations and tell you everything you need about the marine life around shell island.

All of our snorkeling tours include snorkeling gear. We regularly visit many different snorkeling locations. Each day we make changes to our snorkeling locations. Our local snorkeling spots are constantly changing. We make every effort to get you to the best snorkeling spots on the day of your Dolphin and Snorkeling trip. We frequently snorkel in artificial reefs, sandbars and seagrass beds. We will do everything possible to take you to the best spots.
Because we are exploring the dolphins’ natural habitat, it’s always possible that we won’t be able to find where the dolphins are playing today. However, our guides have been doing this for years, and know all the places the dolphins love to be. Virtually all of our tours encounter at least a few of the dolphins that make up the largest population of wild dolphins in the world.
That’s really up to you. The boat tour is often better for those traveling with young kids, or those with more limited mobility, but it really depends on you. If you’re not sure if your group would do better on Waverunners or boats, give us a call, and we’ll help you decide what would be best.
The shallows around Shell Island and St. Andrews Bay are exquisite, and if you’ve brought your snorkeling gear, you will see some amazing sights in the clear water of the Gulf. Bring an underwater camera, and bring home snapshots that your friends will actually sit down to see.
Shell Island is home for a large population of bottlenose Dolphins. On one of our Panama City Beach Dolphin Tours, you can see these magnificent marine mammals in their natural habitat.
Enjoy a trip on super-fast boats designed to allow you to swim with wild bottle-nosed dolphins. Shell Island Dolphin Tours has a smaller number of passengers than the larger boats that can hold up to 150 people. With your snorkel gear on, we can get you in the water quickly without causing any splashing or disruptions. This is often what scares the dolphins away. Your knowledgeable captain will guide you in how to interact best with the dolphins. This includes swimming parallel to the dolphins and not swimming towards them or reaching for them. Swim with Dolphins--We'll get you in the water before they arrive. The dolphins will be more likely to swim towards us than away, this way. Explore wildlife, including birds of Prey, pelicans and underwater creatures. Shells and sanddollars can be found at Shell Island. You can snorkel the flats of sand grass and visit St. Andrews Bay as well as the Gulf of Mexico.
Private tours are perfect for groups that want to have a more intimate experience and/or to reduce exposure to other groups to make their trips more COVID-friendly. You can also choose how long to stay in an area on private tours.
Shell Island can be a little crowded during peak hours. But if you go at the right moment, you will find many shells. If you're lucky enough to go, the Panama City beaches will be awash with shells. You can find a lot of shells if you go in the morning, when the tide is low.
Shell island beach was visited twice. The first time we paid PS7.50 to park on the "island", the second time we drove a bit further along the coast to Llanddwywe and found a public parking lot. It is a beautiful, clean beach.
Mochras, also known as Shell Island, is a peninsula located west of Llanbedr, Gwynedd in Wales. It was created when the River Artro was diverted in 1819 by the Earl of Winchelsey from the previous course, where it entered into the sea to south of Mochras.
