Our Shell Island Dolphin Tour is Panama City Beach’s only partially guided jet ski tour. After check-in and a quick safety briefing, you’ll head out for a fast-paced ride across the emerald waters of St. Andrews Bay.
Weather permitting, we’ll enter the Gulf in search of dolphins and other wildlife like sea turtles, rays, and more.
Next, we’ll stop on the bay side of Shell Island for a short break. Then, enjoy free ride time to explore—whether cruising, swimming, or relaxing on the beach.
With about 15 minutes remaining, the group regathers and follows the guide back across the bay.
Drivers must be 18 or older with a valid driver’s license to operate a jet ski.
