We encourage it.

What should I bring? There is almost everything that you will need, but you are free to bring whatever you want. We recommend that you bring a towel, sunglasses (polarized), and a jacket or sweater. The breeze and open-air boat make it cooler than on land. Snacks and drinks are welcome! BYOB is allowed.
All our snorkeling trips include full snorkeling gear! Conditions at local snorkeling spots are constantly changing. We will take your snorkeling trip to the best snorkeling spots on the day of the Dolphin and Snorkeling Tour. We snorkel often in seagrass beds, artificial reefs, and sandbars. We'll go to great lengths to get you to the best spots.
We cruise around Shell Island and the waters surrounding St. Andrews Bay in Panama City Beach and look for any kind of wildlife or sea life. On our boat tours, we have the opportunity to see different species of wildlife every day. Everyday is different depending on what the environment and wildlife are in the area. We adapt our boat routes daily to offer you the best possible dolphin tour and pleasant boat ride. Shell Island has a variety of marine life, snorkeling areas, and stops that we make. This is a great thing because every tour you take with us will be different. You are encouraged to tell your captain if there are any specific requests that you would like to see and do on your boat tour.

We usually start our Dolphin and Snorkeling tour off by looking for any wildlife. We usually find our local Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins. Our Captains and Tour guides are locals and are experts on the dolphin behaviors in the Panama City Beach area.
Sometimes, you can swim and snorkel with dolphins when the conditions are right. They are wild dolphins with a mind all their own. Dolphins are not fed or harassed by us. Swimming with dolphins is not guaranteed. We support and follow all regulations and guidelines established by the Marine Mammal Protection Act for all of our boat tours.
It's one of the best places in Panama City Beach. Shallow pools can be found with fish and sea life. Plus the clear water in the Gulf is perfect to get out with the family. So bring your snorkeling gear or rent it from a local tour operator.
