We'll take you into the water before the dolphins arrive. So the dolphins are more likely than not to swim away to us to find us. Panama City Beach Snorkeling & Dolphin Tours LLC only has 6 passengers (children and adults included) as opposed to larger tour boats carrying up to 150 people. Our snorkel gear can be put on quickly so you don't have the disruptions and splashing that large groups cause, which often scares the dolphins. We have five boats with identical designs for larger groups. The new Large Family Dolphin can accommodate up to 15 guests.
If conditions allow, guests are permitted to go in the water if dolphins are nearby. Safety is always our top priority. Your captain's instructions will help you safely snorkel around marine mammals.

We will anchor at the Gulf of Mexico or Shell Island. From there, you can either snorkel for seashells or learn about local marine-life. Or just relax and soak up the sun. Shell Island also has shallow water that you can use to search for shells. After visiting Shell Island for a while, we will take a ride into the Gulf of Mexico. Here we will look for dolphins and see the sights along the way.
Maximum group size for our boats is 6, with a maximum capacity of 12. We can accommodate larger parties, however, with the help of our local partners.
