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.

Panama City Beach Snorkeling & Dolphin Tours LLC is smaller than larger boats, which can carry as many as 150 people. You can get in the water quickly with your snorkel gear on without having to splash or disrupt the environment that large groups often create. This is often what scares the dolphins away. For larger groups of up to 30 people, we have five identical boats. We limit the number to six per boat. A large family dolphin is also available for 15 people.
Dolphins do not have gills like fish. Dolphins must breathe oxygen from the air, but they also need to remain in the water. The dolphin can stay in the water while taking in oxygen by jumping out of it. To have fun, increase visibility, remove parasites and improve navigation, dolphins leap out of the water.
Mid-morning, between 10 am and noon, and from 2 pm to sunset, are the best times of day for dolphin sightings.
Harassment can be described as pursuing, torturing, or chasing animals and any other act that could disrupt their natural behavior. This list should also include jumping in the water. Let wild dolphins swim ethically.
