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!
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 encourage it. Whether you�re traveling solo and want a peaceful moment at this uninhabited slice of paradise, cruising with your special someone and hoping to have a few romantic moments alone, or exploring with your family and wanting to search for souvenir seashells and sand dollars, our guides know all the best spots to visit.
Relax and unwind as your USCG captain/tour leader takes you out to enjoy breathtaking sunsets and views that only can be seen from the water. While you are enjoying the evening, bring your favorite beverage and/or snacks.
Our Adventures At Sea guides will then tour around the waters of Shell Island to show you the home of one of the largest schools of bottlenose dolphins in the world. We know all their favorite places to hide�and the places where they love to show off.
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.
Our guides will show the beauty of Shell Island to you as you begin your tour. This 7-mile stretch of undeveloped paradise lies east to west between St. Andrews Bay, the Gulf of Mexico, and Shell Island. This is Florida, at its most natural and far from the resorts. Shell Island is the home to endangered species like the loggerhead sea turtles, piping plovers, and is famous for the many beautiful shells you will find on its beaches.
Shell Island is an undeveloped 7-mile long barrier island and beach that makes up the southern reach of St. Andrews State Park. Accessed via private boat or the official Shell Island Shuttle, the island is a local must-see location for visitors who want the pristine beach experience. Swimming and snorkeling are great.
It's one of the best places in Panama City Beach. Shallow pools can be found with fish and sea life. Plus the clear water in the Gulf is perfect to get out with the family. So bring your snorkeling gear or rent it from a local tour operator.
Shell Island is a local must-see location for Panama City Beach visitors looking for the unspoiled white-sand beach experience. The island offers plenty of beach space and peaceful inshore waters where swimming and snorkeling are great.
