In order to protect the well-being of these wonderful marine creatures, Florida law prohibits swimming with dolphins as well as touching or feeding them. Officers from the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission are on the water to ensure that these rules are followed. However, you may be lucky enough to have dolphins approach the tour boat quite closely, giving you an excellent view and great photo opportunity. If you would really like to have the possibility of encountering wild dolphins in the water, taking one of our Shell Island Snorkel Tours is a good option as the dolphins sometimes swim near snorkelers.
While looking for wildlife and other sea life, we cruise around Shell Island, Panama City Beach, St. Andrews Bay, Panama City and the surrounding waters.

Our routes change daily to ensure you have the best dolphin tour possible and a pleasant boat ride. We also adjust to weather conditions and wildlife to make sure that we offer the most enjoyable experience. Shell Island's marine life, snorkeling spots and stops change from one tour to the next. This is great as you will see new things every time you travel with us.
