Mobile ticket

Our Shell Island Dolphin Tour is Panama City Beach's only partially guided jet ski tour. After arrival and check-in, our experienced staff will give some safety and trip instructions. Once we are on the water, we will embark on a fast-paced adventure in the emerald waters of St. Andrews Bay.

Weather permitting, we will enter the Gulf of Mexico on a hunt for wildlife. Dolphins are our main attraction, but sea turtles, manatees, rays, fish, and crabs are just some of the species that have been seen in the water.

We will then circle back to the bay side of Shell Island for a quick break. The pristine beaches of Shell Island provide the perfect spot to catch your breath before taking off for some more riding. At this time, guests will take off on their own for some exploring.

Guests are welcome to spend this time continuing to ride their jet ski, walking on the beach or swimming in the bay. With about 15 minutes remaining guests will gather and follow the guide back across the bay.

What To Expect

Shell Island

After some safety and ride instruction, we will embark on a high-paced adventure exploring St. Andrews Bay. Weather permitting, we will enter the Gulf of Mexico on a hunt for wild animals. Dolphins are the main attraction, but sea turtles, manatees, rays, fish, crabs, and more can often be seen on tour. Circling back into the bay, we typically take a break on Shell Island. This pristine barrier island is the perfect resting place for a few minutes to catch your breath and then take off on your own adventure. If you prefer a slower pace, you are welcome to spend this time walking the sugary white sands or swimming in the emerald waters. We will gather the group once more as the tour winds to an end, take one more ride across the bay, and end up back at the meeting point in Panama City.
