We offer the opportunity to step off the boat and explore Shell Island. Shell Island offers many opportunities for snorkeling, exploration, collecting sea shells and more. Shell Island is a nature reserve that can only be reached by watercraft. It measures 7 miles long. Shell Island has one of the most beautiful and unspoiled beaches Florida has to offer. Shell Island is an absolute paradise for nature lovers.
What should I bring? There is almost everything that you will need, but you can still bring any you wish. A towel, polarized sunglasses and a sweater/jacket are recommended if the temperature is below 80 degrees. Because of the breeze, it is always cooler to be on an open-air boat. Bring any snacks or beverages with you. It is allowed to have alcohol.
Six passengers are allowed on the Panama City Beach Dolphin Tours. This allows our guests to tour St. Andrew Bay in comfort and allow them to interact with the tour guide. Your captain will take all your questions and allow you to snap pictures.
You can either book a private tour for two to six people or a public one. For up to 6 people, we can combine multiple groups on the same boat during public tours. All tours accommodate 6 guests. For larger groups we can accommodate multiple boats.
It is possible to have seen dolphins captive in a marine sanctuary, but it is more exciting to watch them in their natural habitat. Although wild dolphin behavior is unpredictable and not possible to predict, the tour captains have many years of experience operating on the waters around St. Andrew Bay almost every single day. They know where dolphins are most common and do everything they can to ensure that guests have an amazing time. Dolphins can often be seen jumping, playing and searching for food on many tours.
This three-hour Shell Island Dolphin and Snorkeling Tour will be your ultimate Panama City Beach experience!
Shell Island Dolphin Tours can also accommodate larger groups. Please call ahead if you are more than six people to verify availability.
We have been taking guests on dolphin tours for many decades. We carefully follow all safety regulations to ensure the well-being of our guests and the dolphins. Additionally, our comfortable, safe tour boats are fully equipped and insured by the US Coast Guard. Our Panama City Beach Dolphin Tours offer guests of all age a lot of enjoyment and safety. We are happy to accommodate guests with special accessibility needs.
Because we are exploring the dolphins’ natural habitat, it’s always possible that we won’t be able to find where the dolphins are playing today. However, our guides have been doing this for years, and know all the places the dolphins love to be. Virtually all of our tours encounter at least a few of the dolphins that make up the largest population of wild dolphins in the world.
Florida's jet ski rentals require that the primary driver has a valid driver’s licence. Drivers born after 1998 will need to pass a short test for a temporary safety license.
The best time to find sanddollars is between low tide and high tide. This is when the sea pulls back on the beach and expands it. You can find the best low tide times on beaches that are open during the new or full moons. People prefer to search for shells at low tides in the morning.
Shell Island is the only beach that allows dogs to use. Please clean up after your dog and use the provided doggy bins.
Shell Island is a nature preserve without any restrooms or other visitor facilities, such as trash bins, picnic tables or shade pavilions. There is no trash collection service. Island visitors are expected to take all their trash with them when they leave the Island.
