Panama City Beach Snorkeling or Dolphin Tours is a fun way to let your group get out on the waves. These items are available to purchase both onsite and online, so you can maximize your enjoyment.
Species we frequently see include a variety of starfish, sand dollars, bay scallops, whelks, conchs up to 21” long, seahorses, urchins, and hermit crabs and other crab species. These animals can be brought to the surface, handled carefully, and photographed. We bring large containers so that even non-snorkelers can observe them up close before they’re released back into the bay. Shells found without living creatures can be taken home.
