Dolphins are a loose grouping of different aquatic mammals that live all over the world. In Florida, the most common dolphin is the bottlenose dolphin. The iconic grey dolphin that Panama City Beach Snorkeling & Dolphin Tours LLC made famous. For many years, Americans were used to see dolphins perform tricks for fish at various marine attractions around the country. But in recent years, more protections have been put in place around wild dolphins.
Panama City Beach Snorkeling and Dolphin Tours makes it easy for everyone to enjoy the ocean. We offer the following products for your enjoyment.
If conditions permit guests are welcome to swim with dolphins in the waters if this is possible. Safety is our primary concern. Your captain can show you how safe to snorkel around marine mammals.
The water is home to a variety of birds. There are raptors like bald and ospreys. There are also shorebirds like great blu egrets and great blue herons. You can also see seabirds like magnificent frigatebirds. Sometimes we see deer.
You can also see dolphins on our island and dolphin tours. This is where you can swim, fish, dive, search for shells and, if the conditions permit, snorkel in the protected waters to see a wide range of marine life.

We will get you in the water before they arrive. This will make it more likely that the dolphins swim to us, rather than to us. Panama City Beach Snorkeling & Dolphin Tours LLC is smaller than larger boats, which can carry as many as 150 people. You can get in the water quickly with your snorkel gear on without having to splash or disrupt the environment that large groups often create. This is often what scares the dolphins away. For larger groups of up to 30 people, we have five identical boats. We limit the number to six per boat. A large family dolphin is also available for 15 people.
