"Captain Jack placed us just at the right moment to view the dolphins swim under our feet. It made for a unique experience."
Locals and tourists alike enjoy dolphin tours in Panama City Beach. We make it our top priority to make sure the dolphins are not disturbed while they go about their day. We are familiar with the locations where schools of dolphins congregate. We'll take our guests all over the Gulf of Mexico so you can view these majestic dolphins in their natural habitat.
On your trip with super-fast boats, you will be able to swim with Panama City’s resident pod wild bottlenose dolphins. We are situated in Panama City Beach, near Seaside Beach Rosemary Beach Santa Rosa Beach, Santa Rosa Beach, Destin, Mexico Beach and Cape San Blas.
Participation determines when cruises depart each day. Due to low demand in the Winter and Fall, Sundays and Mondays are usually closed. However, the booking calendar will show all days that have been closed. The departure times of flights change according to the seasons, so make sure you check the calendar regularly for any changes.
For a relaxing 25-minute cruise to Shell Island, our snorkel area, we will leave Historic Grand Lagoon. Keep an eye out for dolphins, sea creatures and other marine life as you travel. We will either anchor along the Gulf of Mexico, Shell Island, or both. Here you can snorkel for shells, learn more about the local marine life, and just relax while taking in the sun. To hunt for shells, you can also swim through the shallow waters to Shell Island. After spending some time on Shell Island, the trip will conclude with a ride to the Gulf of Mexico where we can search for dolphins as well as sight-see.
We can accommodate up to 6 persons per boat. A maximum of 12 people is allowed. We can accommodate groups up to six people on each boat.
Dolphins are wild animals, however. Even though we are familiar with all of the locations they might be in, it is rare for dolphins to escape our reach. Panama City Beach Snorkeling & Dolphin Tours LLC will take you to the ocean and back. We will make every effort to make sure that you don’t miss this famous piece of Florida’s natural landscape.

Panama City dolphin tours and Shell Island trips with Panama City Beach Snorkeling & Dolphin Tours LLC are small, private charters, for a maximum of 12 guests (no more than 6 per boat). This not only allows for a much more intimate and interactive experience but also a safer trip since you won’t be sharing the boat with anyone outside your party.
If the conditions permit, guests can jump in the water with dolphins nearby if they are allowed. Safety is our top priority. Your captain will show you how to safely snorkel among marine mammals.
Manatees are also often seen in the water. You may be allowed to swim near manatees if the conditions are right, but we always observe them passively and avoid getting close.
Yes, the beach is the same. There are many great restaurants in Destin, and I like to shop there (I can also go to the Pier Park shops at my mall).
The driving distance between Panama City (FL) and Destin, FL is approximately 56 miles.
Laguna Beach, Common Dolphin's Playground. Common dolphins are so much of a fun thing, they should also be called extraordinary. They are the most abundant of flipper friends found off Laguna Beach. More than 400,000 dolphins can be found off the Southern California coast.
