Dolphin and Snorkeling Tours Panama City Beach are a private charter and boat trip company that offers guided snorkeling and swimming alongside wild dolphins on beautiful Panama City Beach in Florida. We offer this unique experience to individuals, families, and groups of any size.
The number of passengers on our Panama City Beach Dolphin Tours is limited to six. Our guests can explore St. Andrew Bay comfortably, have a good conversation with their tour captain and see the dolphins up close. Your captain will bring the tour boat as close as possible to the dolphins, while being respectful and cautious to avoid causing them stress.
St. Andrew Bay hosts one of the world's largest resident populations (the iconic gray dolphins) of bottlenose dolphins. This is the area most people are most familiar with from movies, television and marine parks. Although the dolphins in St. Andrew Bay are wild, they are familiar with human presence and boaters are often found among the group of dolphins.
Get in touch with us to learn more about our tour. We don't have control over the main nature so each round can be a little different.
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.
