Florida law prohibits dolphins being swam with and touched by humans. Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission officers will be on the water to make sure that the rules are observed. There are chances that dolphins will approach your boat from close range, offering you great views and great opportunities for photos. Shell Island Snorkel Tours offer the chance to encounter wild dolphins in water. Sometimes, the dolphins swim right by snorkelers.
All year, dolphins are found in Panama City Beach! For your dolphin tour, we'll go an extra mile (or 10) to help you realize your dolphin-seeking dream!
On your trip with Blue Dolphin Tours, you will be able to swim with Panama City�s resident pods of wild bottle-nosed and bottle-nosed dolphins. These boats are super fast and specifically designed for visiting the dolphins. Blue Dolphin Tours does not carry more than 150 people. Instead, we can take six passengers on certain boats and seven to fifteen on other boats. This includes children of all ages. We can quickly have you in water with your snorkel gear and without all of the splashing or disruptions large groups cause. This often scares the dolphins away.
If you are traveling with others who would not feel comfortable on a Waverunner, there are also boat tours. You can access our dock from anywhere, so everyone can enjoy the water's beauty. The boats can hold six passengers. We are happy to provide multiple boats for groups. As with the Waverunner tour and other tours, we'll move at your pace to ensure that we see all you want.
