Gabby's Dolphin ToursPCB 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.
For maximum 12 persons, we can accommodate six people on each boat. We can accommodate up 13 people in a boat.
“This was a highlight of our Florida trip. We felt safe, really enjoyed ourselves, and learned some things too. Captain Jack was friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating.”
We had a wonderful trip. The captain was amazing. He even showed us a jellyfish that doesn't sting. The shell island had many shells so we stopped there. Everyone had a great time. We will definitely be back.
Our Dolphin & Island Tours take approximately 3 hours. Seasonal departure times will vary. The dock is currently empty at 9:00 a.m., and 12:30.
The second leg of the excursion will bring you the best of St Andrews Bay's wildlife. These include birds like pelicans, ospreys, starfish, and underwater marine life such hermit crabs. Shell Island offers sand dollars as well as shells. Also, you can snorkel on grass flats along the Gulf of Mexico and visit St. Andrews Bay.
Your group and you will be in the water before the dolphins. The dolphins will be more interested in you and your group than swimming away. The best way to get dolphins' attention is to not show any interest in them. This is a common occurrence among people who seem to only be interested in someone they love when they show the least amount of care. This is how your mom met your dad, and you can easily explain it to yourself.
With the professional guidance of your captain, you’ll be able to enter the water and watch the dolphins at very close range.
Compared to other bigger tour boats that have a capacity of up to 175 tour goers, this Dolphin Tour boat carries a maximum of six passengers, including kids of all ages. Now, larger groups always create lots of noise, which disturbs the dolphins and drives them away. The best thing is that we will expertly get you in the water fast, and most importantly, without scaring the dolphins away.
Before the dolphins arrive you will be able to enter the water. Dolphins will become more curious about you and swim away from you. Dolphins can be picky and we have to "pretend" that they are not there. The more curious they become, the better.
We guarantee it will be an unforgettable experience. The Dolphin Swim Adventure costs $170 for adults and $140 for children, plus tax. Please click the booking calendar or buttons to see all the rates to see the exact rate for the dates you are visiting Panama City Beach.
Shell Island in Panama City Beach is a great place to see wild dolphin pods. Shell Island, located across the water from Saint Andrew's Park, is 7 miles of incredible beach bliss. This natural wonder is one of the best places in Panama City Beach to see and swim with dolphins.
Dolphins are most likely to be seen when the sun is shining and the water is calm and clear. Feeding activities are typically observed on an incoming tide. Choose a dolphin tour operator that is on the water nearly every day of the year, such as Panama City Beach Dolphin Tours.
