Limit six guests per Panama City Beach Dolphin Tour. This allows our guests to enjoy St. Andrew Bay and interact with the tour captain. You are able to take pictures and video and ask any questions as the captain brings you as close to the dolphins as possible. He is respectful and will not cause harm to them.

For groups who want a more personal experience or wish to keep their group from being too exposed to other groups, private tours are a great option. Private tours also offer the option to choose how long you wish to stay in one area.

What could be better than having one-on-1 interaction with one among the most intelligent creatures on the sea? Dolphin Seafari offers private tours, for groups and individuals who want to spend time with the dolphins on Shell Island.
