We usually start our Dolphin and Snorkeling tour off by looking for any wildlife. We usually find our local Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins. Our Captains and Tour guides are locals and are experts on the dolphin behaviors in the Panama City Beach area.
We cruise around Shell Island as well as the surrounding waters of St. Andrews Bay and Panama City Beach looking for all types of wildlife and marine life. Our boat tours allow us to view different species of wildlife each day. Each day's dolphin and snorkeling tour is unique, and depends on the current wildlife in the area. We adjust our boat rides daily to provide you with the best dolphin tour. Shell Island is home to a variety of marine life and snorkeling spots. We make stops on the island from time to time. This is great, because you'll see something new every time you go on a tour with us. Your captain will be happy to accommodate any special requests you might have for your boat tour.
We give you the option to get off the boat and explore Shell Island. You can walk on, collect sea shells, and do some snorkeling around Shell Island. Shell Island is a nature preserve that is only accessible by boat. Shell island has a very diverse ecosystem and has some of the most beautiful, untouched beaches in the world.
Shell Island is home of a large number bottlenose dolphins. Our Shell Island Dolphin Tours allow you to see these remarkable marine mammals in their natural habitat.
There is almost everything that you need, but you are free to bring whatever you want. For any emergency, you should bring a towel and polarized sunglasses. The breeze and open-air boat make it cooler than on land. Snacks and drinks are welcome.
It's possible that we won�t find dolphins playing in their natural habitat because we're exploring it. Our guides have been doing this for many years and are familiar with all the areas that the dolphins love. Nearly every tour we do encounter the wild dolphins.
Florida law bans dolphins from being touched or fed. Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission officers monitor the waters to ensure these rules get followed. You might be able to spot dolphins close enough to the boat that you have a wonderful view and excellent photo opportunity. Shell Island Snorkel Tours may be the best option for you if wild dolphins are in the water. They often swim near snorkelers.
