Dolphins are a loosely connected group of aquatic mammals which live around the world. The most common dolphin found in Florida is called the bottlenose. Panama City Beach Snorkeling & Dolphin Tours LLC has made the grey dolphin famous. Americans have known for many years that dolphins can perform tricks on fish at several marine attractions in the United States. Since then, more protections have been placed around wild dolphins.

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.
