“This was a highlight of our Florida trip. We felt safe, really enjoyed ourselves, and learned some things too. Captain Jack was friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating.”

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.

We will get you as close as possible to dolphins while still ensuring your safety and their safety. It's up the dolphins to decide how close and how often they interact with us. Passive observation is what we do. It simply means that we allow the dolphins to come to us. The dolphins of St. Andrews Bay are extremely playful and interactive. Guests often have incredible encounters that they will never forget. —

Our Carolina Skiffs (21-foot) and 23-foot Carolina Skiffs (23-foot) are stable and comfortable. These boats have a central console design to maximise open space and allow for easy mobility around the boat. They also feature a forward deck that is fully cushioned for observation (and lounging), plus comfortable seats for everyone in your group.

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.

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.
