We often see a variety starfish, sanddollars, bay scallops and whelks. Also, conchs up 21 inches long, seahorses and urchins as well as hermit crabs and other species of crabs are all common. These animals can be brought to surface and photographed. Large containers are brought so that everyone can see them close up before they're released into the bay. You can take home any shells that are not made of living creatures.

"We had so much fun today, swimming with the dolphins, snorkeling and playing on Shell Island. Panama City Beach Snorkeling & Dolphin Tours LLC is a great choice. This was our highlight vacation. - Christy

The dolphin and island tours to Shell Island allow you to see dolphins in their natural habitat. We can go on a beach exploration, find shells, swim and snorkel in the protected waters.

We’ll put you in the water before the dolphins arrive. That way, the dolphins are more likely to come to us rather than swim away. Unlike the larger tour boats that carry up to 150 people, Panama City Beach Snorkeling & Dolphin Tours LLC carries only 6 passengers (children included). We can have you in the water with your snorkel gear on quickly and without all the splashing and disruptions that large groups create, often frightening the dolphins away. We have 5 identical boats for larger groups, up to 30 persons limited to 6 per boat. We also have a new Large Family Dolphin for up to 15 passengers.

Frequently Asked Questions

This means that dolphins don’t have a fixed schedule. However, they are more active during daylight as it is essential for hunting and other social activities.

Dolphins don't swim with people, "kiss", or tow people in the water because it is fun. They do this because they have to. These are not natural behaviors and all captive dolphins are trained to perform them correctly. If they don't, they won't eat.

Dolphins can be seen most often at dawn between 10 am and noon and 2 pm until dusk. It is worth investing in a pair binoculars or great telephoto lenses to help you spot dolphins.
