Looking for a unique, fun-filled experience for your Florida vacation? Contact Panama City Beach Snorkeling & Dolphin Tours LLC for more information about our Shell Island snorkeling and dolphin tours. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Both locals and tourists can join us on dolphin tours to Panama City Beach. It is our top priority that the dolphins do not get disturbed during their daily activities. We are well-versed in the areas where dolphin schools gather, so we will take you to the Gulf of Mexico to show you these amazing dolphins.

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.

Our dolphin and island tour boats are comfortable, stable 21-foot and 23-foot Carolina Skiffs. These boat features a center console design to maximize open space and allow for easy movement around the boat, a fully cushioned forward deck for observation (and lounging), comfortable cushioned seats for your whole group, large bimini tops for shade, plenty of ice chest space, and quiet, clean four-stroke engines. —

Frequently Asked Questions

Shell island beach was visited twice by us. The first time we paid $7.50 to park on the "island". We drove a bit further along the coast to Llanddwywe, where we found a public parking lot. It is a beautiful, clean beach.

Dolphins are often regarded as friendly but they are wild animals that should be respected and treated with caution. Dolphin behavior can be affected by interactions with humans. They are easy targets for shark attack and vandalism because they lose their natural wariness.

Provisioned dolphins can be bribed with fish in order to interact with people. They are not socially connected like the single dolphin. Instead, they will only be interested in receiving free food. They are friendly and curious, according to many visitors. Aggression is still a problem.
