Additionally, we often see manatees. If conditions allow, you may enter the water near manatees, but we practice passive observation and never approach them.
We’ll put you in the water before the dolphins arrive. That way, the dolphins are more likely to come to us rather than swim away. Unlike the larger tour boats that carry up to 150 people, Panama City Beach Snorkeling & Dolphin Tours LLC carries only 6 passengers (children included). We can have you in the water with your snorkel gear on quickly and without all the splashing and disruptions that large groups create, often frightening the dolphins away. We have 5 identical boats for larger groups, up to 30 persons limited to 6 per boat. We also have a new Large Family Dolphin for up to 15 passengers.
Panama City Beach Snorkeling & Dolphin Tours have been offering memorable, safe and fun experiences every day in Panama City Beach since almost a decade. We offer a private tour on our center console boats if you prefer a more intimate experience.
"We had soo much fun today playing on Shell Island and snorkeling with the dolphins. Panama City Beach Snorkeling & Dolphin Tours LLC I highly recommend. This was the highlight for our vacation. - Christy
"This was the highlight of our Florida trip. We felt comfortable, were able to have fun, and we learned a lot. Captain Jack was friendly.
We will travel to Historic Grand Lagoon and take a 25-minute relaxing cruise to Shell Island, our snorkeling area. Look out for dolphins and other sea creatures as you cruise along the coast. We will anchor at the Gulf of Mexico or Shell Island. From there, you can either snorkel for seashells or learn about local marine-life. Or just relax and soak up the sun. Shell Island also has shallow water that you can use to search for shells. After visiting Shell Island for a while, we will take a ride into the Gulf of Mexico. Here we will look for dolphins and see the sights along the way.
There are many birds that can be seen out of water. They include raptors like bald Eagles and Ospreys as well as shorebirds like great Blue Herons and Egrets. Seabirds include magnificent frigatebirds (terns) and terns. There are also deer sometimes found on the island.
"Captain Jack made sure we were exactly where we needed to be in order to see the dolphins swimming underneath our feet. It was quite an experience.

The dolphin that was above became friendly with the tourist at Varadero. Cuba, which is where dolphins are known to hump humans (check this). This video will make you giggle if all that was not enough to make you smile. Even the most uninformed person will agree that dolphins hooting humans is funny.
