"This was the highlight of our Florida trip. We felt comfortable, were able to have fun, and we learned a lot. Captain Jack was friendly.
We’ll get you as close to dolphins as we possibly can while also guaranteeing your safety and theirs. Ultimately, it’s up to the dolphins how close they want to get and how much they want to interact. We practice what we call “passive observation,” which means — in simple terms — that we let the dolphins come to us. Our dolphins in St. Andrews Bay are extraordinarily playful and interactive, though, and our guests frequently have amazing encounters they’ll remember the rest of their lives.
Dolphins are a loosely connected group of aquatic mammals which live around the world. The most common dolphin found in Florida is called the bottlenose. Panama City Beach Snorkeling & Dolphin Tours LLC has made the grey dolphin famous. Americans have known for many years that dolphins can perform tricks on fish at several marine attractions in the United States. Since then, more protections have been placed around wild dolphins.
Your captain will direct you to the best ways to interact and communicate with the dolphins. It is possible to snorkel in this area. Enjoy watching the birds and starfish as well as the sea life of SeaTurtles.
