You are looking for an unforgettable, memorable experience for your Florida vacation. Panama City Beach Snorkeling & Dolphin Tours LLC can provide more information on our Shell Island snorkeling or dolphin tours. We hope to see you soon!
We offer dolphin tours in Panama City Beach to both tourists and locals. One of our top priorities is to ensure the dolphins don’t become disturbed in their daily lives. We know the best places for dolphin schools to congregate so we'll take the whole group around the Gulf of Mexico.
Over years of observation, our guides have become experts in finding bottlenose dolphins. They also safely guide our guests on how they can enter the water to observe the dolphins in their natural habitat. Your captain will accompany you on a snorkel trip to show you starfish and pufferfish as well as welch conschs and other sea creatures.
Dolphin Tours & Snorkel Tours to the beautiful Gulf of Mexico are always unforgettable. For a memorable experience, we'll take you to the Island and bring you up close to the dolphins. The island is a great place to snorkel and explore shelling.

We'll get you in the sea before the dolphins arrive. The dolphins will be more likely to swim towards us than away, this way. Panama City Beach Snorkeling & Dolphin Tours LLC can only carry 6 people (children included). With our snorkel gear on, we can quickly get you into the water without causing any splashing or disruptions. We also don't have to worry about the dolphins being scared away by large groups. There are 5 boats that can be used for larger groups. Maximum 6 people per boat. For up to 15 persons, we also offer a Large Family Dolphin.

Dolphins can be described as a loose collection of different aquatic mammals that are found around the globe. The bottlenose dolphin, which is the most commonly seen dolphin in Florida, is the most prevalent. Panama City Beach Snorkeling & Dolphin Tours LLC created the iconic grey dolphin. Americans have enjoyed seeing dolphins tricks for fish at numerous marine attractions all over the country for years. However, wild dolphins are now protected by more safeguards.

The wildest dolphins will bite when they're angry, frustrated or afraid. They will bite if they see people swimming with them. Dolphins who have become career hustlers can be aggressive, pushy and threatening if the handouts they aren't getting are not forthcoming.
