Your captain will accompany you into the water and help you find marine life such as seashells. This private tour allows you to customize the way you want your tour to go.
We often see manatees. Manatees may occasionally be found in the waters near you, but we only practice passive observation.
Are you looking for an unforgettable, memorable experience for your Florida vacation? For more information on our Shell Island snorkeling or dolphin tours, contact Gabby's Dolphin Tours PCB. We hope to see you soon!
On your excursion you will visit Panama City Pass as well as the area where St. Andrews Bay converges with the Gulf of Mexico. Here you will find dolphins. We will show the way to get in and close up.
The dolphins will not arrive until you enter the water. This will make the dolphins curious and they will swim towards you instead of away. Dolphins can be very finicky, so the more we pretend they aren't there, the more curious and curious they will become.
Gabby's Dolphin ToursPCB is run by highly qualified and experienced captains. They are trained in spotting, monitoring, and interpret the movements and behaviors of dolphins. We set the boat up at a safe distance so you are able to observe the dolphins from a close range.
You will find some of the most beautiful beaches and snorkeling spots on Florida's coasts! Mexico Beach and Port St. Joe offer adventure options.
What a great way to spend a day! Took my 22 year old son and his friends out for 1/2 day. Pontoon boat was fantastic as was the day. Rob was great and everyone had the best time!
Captain Jack was extraordinary. He was extremely informed. He helped us choose the most important thing and we chose dolphin sightings for the majority.
Before the dolphins arrive, you will be in the water. The dolphins will be attracted to you because they are curious. Dolphins are finicky creatures and will be more curious if we pretend they're not there.

"Captain Jack made sure we were exactly where we needed to be in order to see the dolphins swimming underneath our feet. It was quite an experience."
Cancellations made within 24 hours of tour start/end time will not be granted a refund. This is due to the fact that it takes to reserve seats for other clients.
Relax and unwind as your USCG captain/tour leader takes you out to enjoy breathtaking sunsets, views and other sights that are only possible on the water. You are welcome to bring any beverage, snacks or food you wish while you enjoy the evening.
Dolphins are most active at dawn, between 10 a.m. and noon, and from 2 p.m. to dusk. A good pair of telephoto lenses or binoculars can be extremely useful for spotting dolphins.
Islamorada and Key Largo are popular locations for seeing the animals in the wild. The Florida Keys are a popular breeding ground for dolphins, so you can see them all year.
