You can snorkel all you want on your boat at no extra cost. The onboard cooler will provide complimentary Capri Suns or bottled water for your refreshments. You can also bring your own drinks, snacks, and BYOB.
Before the dolphins arrive you will be able to enter the water. Dolphins will become more curious about you and swim away from you. Dolphins can be picky and we have to "pretend" that they are not there. The more curious they become, the better.
You are looking for something unique and fun for your Florida vacation. Gabby's Dolphin Tours PCB can provide more information about the Shell Island snorkeling and dolphin tours. We look forward to meeting you soon!

Our Dolphin & Island Tours usually last 3 hours. The departure times can vary depending on the season. We leave the dock at 9:30 a.m. and 12:20 p.m.
We will reserve the boat for your group or family, and the captain, during our private dolphin tour. Coast Guard regulations stipulate that 13 passengers are allowed, including children and infants.
With the professional guidance of your captain, you’ll be able to enter the water and watch the dolphins at very close range.
Your captain will meet you at the snorkeling spot and take you into the water. He will show you how to identify seashells and other marine life. You can choose how you want to spend your tour time, so it will be exactly what you envisioned.
Cancellations made within 24 hours of tour start/end time will not be eligible for a refund and you will be charged full price.
Gabby’s Dolphin Tours PCB captains are well-trained and highly experienced in spotting, watching, and interpreting dolphin movements and behavior. We position the boat at a safe distance from the dolphins, and we will instruct you how to get in the water to allow them to see and interact with you.
You will go in the water before the dolphins arrive. You will attract the dolphins towards you, and they'll become curious. Dolphins can be finicky so we need to pretend that they aren’t there.
The boats are real dive boats, so children will enjoy seeing dolphins and snorkeling in the water like SCUBA divers.
MAXIMUM 13 guests (including all children) are allowed on each boat. Coast Guard regulations do not allow for more than 13 passengers.
We guarantee it will be an unforgettable experience. The Dolphin Swim Adventure costs $170 for adults and $140 for children, plus tax. Please click the booking calendar or buttons to see all the rates to see the exact rate for the dates you are visiting Panama City Beach.
Shell Island in Panama City Beach is a great place to see wild dolphin pods. Shell Island, located across the water from Saint Andrew's Park, is 7 miles of incredible beach bliss. This natural wonder is one of the best places in Panama City Beach to see and swim with dolphins.
Dolphins are most likely to be seen when the sun is shining and the water is calm and clear. Feeding activities are typically observed on an incoming tide. Choose a dolphin tour operator that is on the water nearly every day of the year, such as Panama City Beach Dolphin Tours.
