Gabby's Dolphin Tours PCB offers guided snorkeling, swimming with wild dolphins and boat tours in Panama City Beach. We offer this unique experience to individuals, families, and groups of any size.
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 have many options when it comes to how you spend your time so that you get the most out of your dolphin cruise. There are many options, including snorkeling on the grass flats of Shell Island and the jetties. This eco tour allows you to walk on the beaches and find starfishes, starfishes, crabs, fish and birds of every kind.
If the conditions permit, guests can jump in the water with dolphins nearby if they are allowed. Safety is our top priority. Your captain will show you how to safely snorkel among marine mammals.
We can accommodate up to 13 persons per boat. A maximum of 12 people is allowed. We can accommodate groups up to six people on each boat.
What a great day! For 1/2 day, I took my son (22 years old) and his friends. The pontoon boat and day were amazing. Rob was fantastic and everyone had a great time.
Species we frequently see include a variety of starfish, sand dollars, bay scallops, whelks, conchs up to 21” long, seahorses, urchins, and hermit crabs and other crab species. These animals can be brought to the surface, handled carefully, and photographed. We bring large containers so that even non-snorkelers can observe them up close before they’re released back into the bay. Shells found without living creatures can be taken home.
Reserve the whole boat on a private tour for only your group. This is your tour. This tour can be tailored to your preferences. A private charter can only accommodate six people.
St. Andrews Bay Charters offers private charters for up to 12 people (maximum 13 guests per boat) on Panama City dolphin tours or Shell Island trips. This allows for a more intimate and interactive experience, as well as a safer trip because you won't share the boat with anyone else.
Relax and unwind while your private USCG captain/tour guide takes you to watch some breathtaking sunsets and views that can only be seen on the water. Bring your favorite beverage & or snacks if you like while you enjoy the evening.
MAXIMUM 13 guests (includes all children) on each boat according to Coast Guard regulations, except for the larger Family Cruiser which has 13 passengers
This tour allows you to swim with dolphins up to 13 people per boat. You can also personalize your trip to create memories that you and your family will cherish forever. Since 2010, Flippers Dolphin Tours has been rated as one of Panama City Beach's best things to do. Our captains are experts in the local Bottlenose Dolphins.
The water is home to a variety of birds. There are raptors like bald and ospreys. There are also shorebirds like great blu egrets. And there are seabirds like majestic frigatebirds. Sometimes we see deer.
It's all worth it once you get there because the water is the most beautiful I've ever seen. The water is so clear that it feels like you're swimming in a pool. We had no idea what to expect, so we went with the intention of spending a few hours on the island. Come prepared to spend the entire day!
Dolphins, loggerhead turtles, green sea turtles, ghost crabs, beach mice, nine-banded armadillos, alligators that live in the island's lake, marsh rabbits, racoons, and other wildlife can be found on Shell Island.
Wear nothing but a swimsuit. Dolphins have extremely sensitive skin, and because you will be able to touch them during your interaction, we recommend that you refrain from wearing sunscreen, oils, or perfumes.
