Our success is due to our professional yet casual approach. We are grateful to our repeat customers who continue to support us. We invite to visit their site to see why. Spend time with Panama City's wild dolphin pod on board super-fast boats, which are specially built for the purpose of visiting and finding the dolphins.
The private 2 hour dolphin tour for 6 passengers will be reserved for your group or family and the captain. Coast Guard regulations stipulate that 6 passengers are allowed, including children and infants.
It's one of the best places in Panama City Beach. Shallow pools can be found with fish and sea life. Plus the clear water in the Gulf is perfect to get out with the family. So bring your snorkeling gear or rent it from a local tour operator.
How long can I stay on Shell Island? There is no time limit on your stay, but you must catch the last Shuttle off the Island at the end of the day.
Agree with above, go around 11 a.m., to get the best of daytime sun, because April has some fairly cool days. over a year ago. I'd plan for late morning/early afternoon. There's no shade so if it is really warm you don't want to be there at the absolute hottest part of the day.
