Panama City Beach Snorkeling & Dolphin Tours has been providing unforgettable experiences on Panama City Beach nearly a decade. Our center console boats offer private tours.

We will depart into Historic Grand Lagoon for a 25-minute relaxing cruise out to our snorkel area, Shell Island! Along the way, be on the lookout for dolphins and other sea animals in their natural habitat. When we arrive, we will anchor in the Gulf of Mexico or along Shell Island where you can snorkel for seashells and catch a glimpse of the underwater world, learn about local sea-life, or just relax and float while you take in the sun. You can also wade through the shallow water onto Shell Island to hunt for shells. After we have spent some time at Shell Island, we will end the trip with a ride out to the Gulf of Mexico to search for dolphins and sight-see along the way.

Our mission: We work with a purpose. Panama City Beach dolphin trips are educational experiences. This allows for greater appreciation and understanding about wildlife. We are an ecofriendly tour, and we take all necessary steps to ensure no wildlife is disturbed or harmed. You'll be remembered by the dolphins as an ecotour outfitter that cares. —

If conditions allow, guests are permitted to go in the water if dolphins are nearby. Safety is always our top priority. Your captain's instructions will help you safely snorkel around marine mammals.

Our local captains are experienced and knowledgeable about the marine life in the area. They are always available to help you plan your trip and enjoy showing you the natural beauty this place has to offer.

Additionally, we often see manatees. If conditions allow, you may enter the water near manatees, but we practice passive observation and never approach them.

Your captain will guide you in the most safe and effective ways to interact with the dolphins. Our area offers world-class snorkeling. Enjoy the wildlife of birds of prey and the underwater world of SeaTurtles. Starfish, Seahorses, Starfish, Starfish, and SeaTurtles are all available.

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.

We also often see manatees. Manatees can be seen if conditions permit. However, we prefer passive observation so that they are not tempted to approach us.

Dolphin Tours & Snorkel Tours on the beautiful Gulf of Mexico will always be memorable. We will take your to the island with you and make sure you get close enough to the dolphins to give you an unforgettable experience. We will stop at the island to explore shelling and snorkeling while on our tours.

We'll bring you as close and as safe as possible to dolphins. It is up to the dolphins to decide how near they want to go and how much interaction. We practice what we call passive observation. This means, in simple terms, that we allow dolphins to come and visit us. Our guests are often treated to amazing encounters with our dolphins in St. Andrews Bay.
