If conditions permit, sometimes we can snorkel with dolphins. They are wild dolphins that have their own mind. We do not feed, harass or harass dolphins. It is because of this that we cannot guarantee dolphin swimming. All our boat tours comply with and support the Marine Mammal Protection Act.
This three-hour Shell Island Dolphin and Snorkeling Tour will be your ultimate Panama City Beach experience!
We cruise around Shell Island and all the waters surrounding St. Andrews Bay, Panama City, and Panama City Beach while looking for all kinds of wildlife and sea life. We get the chance to see different kinds of wildlife every day on our boat tours. All dolphin tours and snorkeling tours are different everyday depending on the conditions and what wildlife is currently in the area. We change our routes from day to day to give you the best dolphin tour and most pleasant boat ride possible with constantly changing water, weather, and wildlife conditions. The marine life, snorkeling spots, and stops we make on Shell Island change from tour to tour. This is great because, every time you go with us, you get to see different things! We do encourage you to let your captain know if you have any special requests of things you would like to see or do during your boat tour.
That is completely up to the individual. Boat tours are often more appropriate for children under five years old or those with restricted mobility. But that is up to you. Waverunners, or boats? We're happy to help you determine which option is best for you and your group.
Learn from Your Knowledgeable Captain - Your private captain will instruct you on the best means of interacting with the dolphins, such as swimming parallel with the dolphins rather than swimming toward them or reaching out for them. Swim with Dolphins - We'll put you in the water before the dolphins arrive. That way, the dolphins are more likely to come to us than swim away. Discover wildlife including birds of prey, pelicans, underwater creatures and herons. Explore the Shell Island area for sand dollars and shells. Snorkel grass flats and explore St. Andrews Bay and the Gulf of Mexico.
You can see dolphins all year at Panama City Beach. We go the extra mile, or 10, to help you fulfill your dream of seeing dolphins at their natural habitat during your dolphin tour.
Shell Island is home to many bottlenose dolphins. One of our Shell Island Dolphin Tours will take you to the natural habitat where you can meet these magnificent marine mammals.
