We always start our Dolphin and Snorkeling Tours by looking for wildlife. We often find the Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins. Our guides and captains are natives who know a lot about the dolphin behavior in Panama City Beach.
For groups who want a more personal experience or wish to keep their group from being too exposed to other groups, private tours are a great option. Private tours also offer the option to choose how long you wish to stay in one area.
