The chance to observe wild bottlenose dolphins is an unforgettable experience that will create memorable Panama City Beach vacation memories. For a dolphin encounter that will top your Panama City Beach trip, we invite you to join one of our Shell Island Dolphin Tours.
Our guides will show the beauty of Shell Island to you as you begin your tour. This 7-mile stretch of undeveloped paradise lies east to west between St. Andrews Bay, the Gulf of Mexico, and Shell Island. This is Florida, at its most natural and far from the resorts. Shell Island is the home to endangered species like the loggerhead sea turtles, piping plovers, and is famous for the many beautiful shells you will find on its beaches.
Dolphins that you'll see on our Dolphin Tours in the Bahamas are Bottlenose Dolphins. They can be easily found as they prefer shallow waters. Our unique location in St. Andrews Bay State Park comes from the fact that the Dolphins often hunt for food here. Shell Island is where they often visit to check on the vacationers. They are very playful and curious about nature. The beauty and intelligence of these magnificent creatures amazes our guests. They also love how easy it is for them to be accessed.
