Swimming parallel with the dolphins rather than swimming toward them or reaching out for them (this is also illegal), we will allow the dolphins to come to us (best, most ethical method).
Relax and enjoy the company of your USCG captain/tourguide as you watch stunning sunsets from the water. You can bring your favorite beverage or snack to enjoy the evening.
Your captain will take you out to the sea and assist you in finding marine life. This private tour will allow you to control how your tour goes so that it's exactly what you envisioned.
We will bring you as close to dolphins and as safe as possible. The dolphins will decide how close or far they want to be able to interact with them. We practice passive observation, which simply means we let the dolphins approach us. Our dolphins in St. Andrews Bay can be extremely playful and interactive. Many of our guests have memorable encounters with them.
Boat Tours are fun for all ages. Lagoon Pontoons Boat Tours are the best option for those who want to just relax and enjoy the breathtaking views.
In addition to observing dolphins, our dolphin and island tours visit beautiful Shell Island. Here we can explore the beach, hunt for shells, wade, swim, and, if conditions allow, snorkel in the crystal clear protected waters and observe a wide variety of marine life.
You will be visiting Panama City Pass, and exploring the area where St. Andrews Bay meets the Gulf of Mexico during your excursion. Here dolphins can be found and we will show you how to swim in the water to see them up close.

If we swim parallel to dolphins instead of swimming towards them or reaching out to them (which is also illegal), then this will be the best, most ethical way to allow dolphins to come to our aid.

Dolphins are most likely to be seen when the sun is shining and the water is calm and clear. Feeding activities are typically observed on an incoming tide. Choose a dolphin tour operator that is on the water nearly every day of the year, such as Panama City Beach Dolphin Tours.
