Snorkeling and Dolphin Tours Panama City Beach Attractions

Captain Jack was a marvellous man. He was extremely knowledgeable. We were able to decide what was most important, and dolphin sightings were the preferred option for the majority.

We can accommodate up to 6 persons per boat. A maximum of 12 people is allowed. We can accommodate groups up to six people on each boat.

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.

Our Dolphin & Island Tours are normally scheduled for 3 hours. Departure times vary seasonally. We are currently leaving the dock at 9:00 a.m. and 12:30 p.m.

Our dolphin and island tours take you to Shell Island, where you can also observe dolphins. We can walk along the shore, look for shells, wade and swim in the protected waters. You will also see a variety of marine species.

Dolphins are a loose grouping of different aquatic mammals that live all over the world. In Florida, the most common dolphin is the bottlenose dolphin. The iconic grey dolphin that Panama City Beach Snorkeling & Dolphin Tours LLC made famous. For many years, Americans were used to see dolphins perform tricks for fish at various marine attractions around the country. But in recent years, more protections have been put in place around wild dolphins.

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.
