Best Beach To Find Shells In Florida

How much does it cost to go to Shell Island




St. Andrew Bay is home to one of the world’s largest resident populations of bottlenose dolphins, the iconic gray dolphins that most people are familiar with from television, movies, and marine parks. The dolphins of St. Andrew Bay are wild animals but they are accustomed to the presence of people and it is common for boaters on the Bay to find themselves among a group of swimming, feeding, and playing dolphins.



This is up to each of you. It is usually better to travel with small children, or for people with less mobility. But it really all depends on your preferences. You can call us to find out if Waverunners are better for you or a boat tour.

Shell Island Boat Tour Panama City Beach


You may have seen captive dolphins in a marine park, but it is far more interesting to watch these beautiful animals when they are healthy and free, at home in their natural environment. And even though the behavior of wild dolphins cannot be predicted and a sighting on every trip is not guaranteed, our tour captains have years of experience being on the waters of St. Andrew Bay nearly every day. They know the places where dolphins are most likely to be found and our captains do their best to make sure guests have a great time. On most tours, dolphins are spotted jumping, playing, searching for food, and communicating with one another.

Party


St. Andrew Bay's dolphins live in wild environments. This makes it difficult to know when the best time is to see them. The weather, tide cycles, tides and availability, among other factors, can affect dolphin behavior. There is a good chance to see dolphins whenever the sun is out and water is calm and clear. Feeding activities will usually be observed on an outgoing wave. Shell Island Dolphin Tours can be your best choice if you want to visit dolphins almost every day.
