You can swim with Panama City's wild bottle-nose dolphins on your trip in super-fast boats that are specially built for visiting and finding them. We are located on Panama City Beach near Seaside Beach, Rosemary Beach Santa Rosa, Destin and Mexico Beach & Cape San Blas, as well as all of South Walton FL 30A and Beaches.
A variety of starfishes, sanddollars bay scallops, whelks conchs upto 21 inches long, seahorses urchins and hermit crabs among other crab species are common species that we see. These animals are easy to bring to the surface. They can also be photographed. We use large containers to allow snorkelers and non-snorkelers to see the animals up close before they are released back into the bay. You can also take any shells you find that have not been inhabited by living creatures home.
It is important to remember that dolphins can be wild animals. We know where they are likely to be but rarely do we see them. You can choose to relax on the deck or close to the water when you book your Panama City Beach Snorkeling & Dolphin Tours LLC tour. We will do our best to ensure you don't miss this beautiful piece of Florida's natural beauty. Call us now to reserve your date

For a relaxing 25-minute cruise to Shell Island, our snorkel area, we will leave Historic Grand Lagoon. Keep an eye out for dolphins, sea creatures and other marine life as you travel. We will either anchor along the Gulf of Mexico, Shell Island, or both. Here you can snorkel for shells, learn more about the local marine life, and just relax while taking in the sun. To hunt for shells, you can also swim through the shallow waters to Shell Island. After spending some time on Shell Island, the trip will conclude with a ride to the Gulf of Mexico where we can search for dolphins as well as sight-see.
Panama City Beach Snorkeling & Dolphin Tours LLC's captains are well-trained and highly experienced in spotting dolphins and interpreting their movements. We set the boat at a safe distance from you and then instruct you to dive in to see the dolphins.
Dolphins can be described as a loose collection of different aquatic mammals that are found around the globe. The bottlenose dolphin, which is the most commonly seen dolphin in Florida, is the most prevalent. Panama City Beach Snorkeling & Dolphin Tours LLC created the iconic grey dolphin. Americans have enjoyed seeing dolphins tricks for fish at numerous marine attractions all over the country for years. However, wild dolphins are now protected by more safeguards.
Maximum group size is 6 people per boat. Maximum number of 12 guests. We can accommodate up to 6 people per boat, but we can also make arrangements with local partners if you have a larger group.
