These friendly local captains have decades experience on the waters of this area and are knowledgeable about dolphins, manatees, as well as other marine life. They love to show you the natural beauty and will be happy to tailor your trip.
Dolphins are an unrelated group of aquatic mammals that exist all around the globe. The most common dolphin in Florida is the bottlenose dolphin. Panama City Beach Snorkeling & Dolphin Tours LLC's iconic grey dolphin is what made them famous. Americans have seen dolphins do tricks for fish over the years at many marine attractions throughout the country. Recent years have seen more protections put in place for wild dolphins.
The dolphin and island tours to Shell Island allow you to see dolphins in their natural habitat. We can go on a beach exploration, find shells, swim and snorkel in the protected waters.
Also, manatees are often seen. If the conditions allow, manatees may be seen in the water. But, we observe passively and do not approach them.
We do need to note that dolphins are wild animals. Although we know all the places they’re likely to be, very rarely the dolphins evade us. When you book your tour with Panama City Beach Snorkeling & Dolphin Tours LLC, whether you want to be close to the water or relax on the deck of our pontoon boats. We’ll do everything possible to make sure you don’t miss this iconic piece of Florida’s natural landscape. Contact us today to book your date!
We will get you as close as possible to dolphins while still ensuring your safety and their safety. It's up the dolphins to decide how close and how often they interact with us. Passive observation is what we do. It simply means that we allow the dolphins to come to us. The dolphins of St. Andrews Bay are extremely playful and interactive. Guests often have incredible encounters that they will never forget.
Local captains are friendly and have decades of experience in these waters. They also have a wealth knowledge about manatees and dolphins. They will customize your trip to suit your needs and are happy to show you the beauty of this beautiful area.
Panama City Beach is a great place to have fun with the kids. Panama City Beach Snorkeling & Dolphin Tours LLC has the best in guided snorkeling excursions, dolphin excursions, pontoonboat rentals, and many other activities!
If conditions allow, guests are welcome to get in the water when dolphins are nearby. Safety is always our first priority, and your captain will instruct you how to safely snorkel around marine mammals.
We will get you in the water before they arrive. This will make it more likely that the dolphins swim to us, rather than to us. Panama City Beach Snorkeling & Dolphin Tours LLC is smaller than larger boats, which can carry as many as 150 people. You can get in the water quickly with your snorkel gear on without having to splash or disrupt the environment that large groups often create. This is often what scares the dolphins away. For larger groups of up to 30 people, we have five identical boats. We limit the number to six per boat. A large family dolphin is also available for 15 people.

“Captain Jack positioned us precisely at the moment to see the dolphins swam right underneath out feet, it was a very unique experience.“
Panama City Beach Snorkeling and Dolphin Tours makes it easy for everyone to enjoy the ocean. We offer the following products for your enjoyment.
Caladesi Island is located at the northern end Clearwater Beach. It can be reached via ferry. It boasts turquoise waters and sugar-soft white sandy sands, making this one of Florida's most beautiful strands.
Killer whales can also be found in colder waters. They have been seen in areas like Florida, Hawaii and Australia.
Provisioned dolphins can be bribed with fish in order to interact with people. They are not socially connected like the single dolphin. Instead, they will only be interested in receiving free food. They are friendly and curious, according to many visitors. Aggression is still a problem.
