Panama City Dolphin and Snorkel Tours

Dolphins can be described as a loose collection of different aquatic mammals that are found around the globe. The bottlenose dolphin, which is the most commonly seen dolphin in Florida, is the most prevalent. Panama City Beach Snorkeling & Dolphin Tours LLC created the iconic grey dolphin. Americans have enjoyed seeing dolphins tricks for fish at numerous marine attractions all over the country for years. However, wild dolphins are now protected by more safeguards.

Swim with Panama City’s resident pod of wild bottle-nosed dolphins in their natural home on your trip aboard super-fast boats specially designed for finding and visiting with the dolphins. We are located in Panama City Beach and near Seaside, Rosemary Beach, Santa Rosa, Destin, Mexico Beach & Cape San Blas as well as all of 30A and Beaches of South Walton FL.

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.

We will get you in the water before they arrive. This will make it more likely that the dolphins swim to us, rather than to us. Panama City Beach Snorkeling & Dolphin Tours LLC is smaller than larger boats, which can carry as many as 150 people. You can get in the water quickly with your snorkel gear on without having to splash or disrupt the environment that large groups often create. This is often what scares the dolphins away. For larger groups of up to 30 people, we have five identical boats. We limit the number to six per boat. A large family dolphin is also available for 15 people.
