Panama City Beach is a great place to discover the gorgeous white sand beaches, the emerald water and waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
Rent a pontoon boat for the day and be your own captain! We have pontoon boats for rent for visitors who wish to be their captain. Our Seafari Map will be sent to you with the directions to our favorite snorkeling spots, sandbars and common dolphin areas.
The chance to watch wild bottlenose dolphins in their natural setting is a unique opportunity that is sure to create unforgettable Panama City Beach vacation memories. That’s why we are pleased to invite visitors to join us on one of our Panama City Beach Dolphin Tours for a dolphin encounter that will be the highlight of your Panama City Beach visit.
St. Andrew Bay is home of one of the largest populations of bottlenose dolphins in the world. These are the famous gray dolphins most people know from TV, movies and marine parks. Although the dolphins of St. Andrew Bay live in wild environments, they are used to humans and boaters often find themselves amongst a group of feeding, swimming and playing dolphins.
Book a private tour with your group. Private charters allow you to extend your private dolphin tour by adding additional time (starting at 2 to 3 hours). This allows you to add more snorkeling locations, island time, and so on. Six passengers can be accommodated on a boat. The captain will show you how to get into the water and observe the dolphins in their natural habitat. Next, take a guided snorkel trip to see other marine life around Shell Island.
Do you want to have a memorable, exciting vacation in Florida? For more information about dolphin snorkeling and dolphin tours on Shell Island, please contact Dolphin and Snorkeling Charters Panama City Beach. We look forward to seeing you!
Book yourself a sunset dolphin tour or a snorkeling & dolphin tour and enjoy the hidden gems in our area that make us glad we call Panama City Beach home.
Panama City Beach is the perfect spot for beginners to get the feel of snorkeling and it is also a great place to start a snorkel safari. Exploring along the jetty and out toward the entrance to the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico will offer the chance to spot tropical fish, crabs, rays, and other small marine animals.
Generally, there is a good chance of seeing dolphins any time the sun is out and the water is calm and clear. Feeding activities are normally seen on an outgoing tide. Your best bet is to choose a dolphin tour operator like Panama City Beach Dolphin Tours that is on the water nearly every day of the year.
