Shell Island Ferry Panama City Beach Fl

How deep is the Panama Canal




Only six guests can take the Shell Island Dolphin Tours. This allows our guests to tour St. Andrew Bay in comfort, communicate easily with the tour guide, and have close encounters with the dolphins. As the captain of the tour boat brings the dolphins to their shores, you are free to ask questions and take photos.


A dolphin tour is a wonderful way to see the area. All tour boats depart Adventure at Sea, Lower Grand Lagoon. On the way to Shell Island, they cross the pass between St. Andrew Bay (the Gulf of Mexico) and cruise south. The view is breathtaking and you may spot seabirds or sea turtles. Keep your eyes peeled for dolphins.
