Species we frequently see include a variety of starfish, sand dollars, bay scallops, whelks, conchs up to 21” long, seahorses, urchins, and hermit crabs and other crab species. These animals can be brought to the surface, handled carefully, and photographed. We bring large containers so that even non-snorkelers can observe them up close before they’re released back into the bay. Shells found without living creatures can be taken home.

We will bring you as close as we can to dolphins, while also ensuring their safety. The dolphins decide how close they want and how much interaction they want. "Passive observation" is a practice that allows dolphins to approach us. Our guests often have unforgettable encounters with dolphins at St. Andrews Bay. They are playful and interactive and will always remember them.

Our dolphin and island tour boats are comfortable, stable 21-foot and 23-foot Carolina Skiffs. These boat features a center console design to maximize open space and allow for easy movement around the boat, a fully cushioned forward deck for observation (and lounging), comfortable cushioned seats for your whole group, large bimini tops for shade, plenty of ice chest space, and quiet, clean four-stroke engines.

Dolphins are an aquatic mammal that can be found all over the globe. The bottlenose dolphin is Florida's most popular dolphin. Panama City Beach Snorkeling & Dolphin Tours LLC is famous for its iconic grey dolphin. Americans have been seeing dolphins performing tricks for fish for many years at different marine attractions across the country. In recent years, however, there have been more protections for wild dolphins.

Over years of observation, our guides have become experts in finding bottlenose dolphins. They also safely guide our guests on how they can enter the water to observe the dolphins in their natural habitat. Your captain will accompany you on a snorkel trip to show you starfish and pufferfish as well as welch conschs and other sea creatures.

"Captain Jack was very precise in positioning us at the moment when the dolphins were swimming right under our feet. It was a truly unique experience.

We’ll get you as close to dolphins as we possibly can while also guaranteeing your safety and theirs. Ultimately, it’s up to the dolphins how close they want to get and how much they want to interact. We practice what we call “passive observation,” which means — in simple terms — that we let the dolphins come to us. Our dolphins in St. Andrews Bay are extraordinarily playful and interactive, though, and our guests frequently have amazing encounters they’ll remember the rest of their lives.
