We will put you in water before the dolphins come. The dolphins will likely swim right past us and come to us instead of swimming away. Panama City Beach Snorkeling & Dolphin Tours LLC has six passengers, including children. We can have you on the water in no time with your snorkel gear and without the chaos that large groups can cause. Five identical boats are available for larger groups. There is also a Large Family Dolphin that can hold up to 15 people.
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.

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.
Panama City Beach Snorkeling & Dolphin Tours LLC has highly-trained and experienced captains who are skilled in spotting, observing and interpreting dolphin behavior and movements. We keep the boat safe and show you how to get into the water to have a closer look at the dolphins.
Your captain will show you the best and safest ways to interact with dolphins. The area is known for its excellent snorkeling. You can enjoy watching the birds of prey, as well as the underwater worlds of SeaTurtles and Stingray, Seahorses Starfish & Sand Dollars.
We’ll get you as close to dolphins as we possibly can while also guaranteeing your safety and theirs. Ultimately, it’s up to the dolphins how close they want to get and how much they want to interact. We practice what we call “passive observation,” which means — in simple terms — that we let the dolphins come to us. Our dolphins in St. Andrews Bay are extraordinarily playful and interactive, though, and our guests frequently have amazing encounters they’ll remember the rest of their lives.
