Our mission is to work with purpose. Panama City Beach dolphin tours are educational experiences that allow you to appreciate and understand wildlife. We are an eco-friendly company and do everything possible to protect wildlife. You will be a blessing to dolphins if you choose an eco-tour company that cares.
We’ll get you as close to dolphins as we possibly can while also guaranteeing your safety and theirs. Ultimately, it’s up to the dolphins how close they want to get and how much they want to interact. We practice what we call “passive observation,” which means — in simple terms — that we let the dolphins come to us. Our dolphins in St. Andrews Bay are extraordinarily playful and interactive, though, and our guests frequently have amazing encounters they’ll remember the rest of their lives.
Your captain will direct you on how to enter the water so that you can see the dolphins at close quarters. It is prohibited to approach or swim towards the dolphins. We interact with dolphins in the most ethical manner possible by swimming parallel to their bodies and inviting them to come towards us.
Gabby's Dolphin ToursPCB is run by highly qualified and experienced captains. They are trained in spotting, monitoring, and interpret the movements and behaviors of dolphins. We set the boat up at a safe distance so you are able to observe the dolphins from a close range.
After reaching your snorkeling spot, your able captain will enter the water alongside you and guide you on the best way of locating marine life like seashells. By choosing this private tour, you will be able to choose how to pass your tour time so that it can be as exactly as you had envisioned it.
MAXIMUM 6 guests (including all children) are allowed on each boat. Coast Guard regulations do not allow for more than 13 passengers.
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.
Rent a pontoonboat and become your own guide! Our pontoon boats can be rented for guests who want to charter their own boat. We will mail you our Map, which includes the location of our preferred snorkeling locations, sandbars as well as common dolphin areas.
