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.




The dolphins of Panama City Beach are all year long! We will do everything possible to ensure that you have the opportunity to see dolphins in their natural environment on your dolphin tour.

St. Andrew Bay is home of one of the largest populations of bottlenose dolphins in the world. These are the famous gray dolphins most people know from TV, movies and marine parks. Although the dolphins of St. Andrew Bay live in wild environments, they are used to humans and boaters often find themselves amongst a group of feeding, swimming and playing dolphins.
