Dolphins are an aquatic mammal that can be found all over the globe. The bottlenose dolphin is Florida's most popular dolphin. Panama City Beach Snorkeling & Dolphin Tours LLC is famous for its iconic grey dolphin. Americans have been seeing dolphins performing tricks for fish for many years at different marine attractions across the country. In recent years, however, there have been more protections for wild dolphins.
Our dolphin and island tours take you to Shell Island, where you can also observe dolphins. We can walk along the shore, look for shells, wade and swim in the protected waters. You will also see a variety of marine species.
Mid-morning, between 10 am and noon, and from 2 pm to sunset, are the best times of day for dolphin sightings.
There are many species of dolphins that can be found in Panama City Beach. However, the most common and well-known dolphins are the bottlenose dolphins.
You attract dolphins by making them float and adding some pilchards, Spanish sardines, or ballyhoo to the water. This is a fuel-efficient way of scoring, all while you sit around and chat with your friends and listen to some music.
