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.

We do need to note that dolphins are wild animals. Although we know all the places they’re likely to be, very rarely the dolphins evade us. When you book your tour with Panama City Beach Snorkeling & Dolphin Tours LLC, whether you want to be close to the water or relax on the deck of our pontoon boats. We’ll do everything possible to make sure you don’t miss this iconic piece of Florida’s natural landscape. Contact us today to book your date!

We often see manatees. If you have the opportunity, you can go into the water with manatees. We practice passive observation, and we never approach them.

Panama City Beach Dolphin and Snorkel Tours

Both locals and tourists can join us on dolphin tours to Panama City Beach. It is our top priority that the dolphins do not get disturbed during their daily activities. We are well-versed in the areas where dolphin schools gather, so we will take you to the Gulf of Mexico to show you these amazing dolphins.

We see many species, including starfish, sand dollar, bay scallops. Whelks. Conchs up to 212" long. Seahorses, Urchins. Hermit crabs. These animals can be brought up to the surface, handled gently, and photographed. We bring large containers so that snorkelers, as well as non-snorkelers, can get close to the animals before they are released into the bay. The shells of non-living creatures can be taken home.

We will bring you as close as we can to dolphins, while also ensuring their safety. The dolphins decide how close they want and how much interaction they want. "Passive observation" is a practice that allows dolphins to approach us. Our guests often have unforgettable encounters with dolphins at St. Andrews Bay. They are playful and interactive and will always remember them.
