We take both locals and visitors on dolphin tours in Panama City Beach. Our number one priority is to ensure that dolphins don't get disturbed in their daily lives. We know where dolphin schools congregate and will take you around the beautiful Gulf of Mexico to see them in their natural habitat.
We will be departing Historic Grand Lagoon to take a relaxing, 25-minute trip out to Shell Island, where we'll snorkel. You should be looking out for dolphins or other sea animals as they are in their natural habitats. Our boat will dock in the Gulf of Mexico. Shell Island is the next stop. There you can snorkel, find seashells, learn about the marine life around the area, or simply relax and take in the sunshine. You can also explore the shallows of Shell Island and hunt for shells. After some time spent at Shell Island we will continue our trip to the Gulf of Mexico, where we will search for dolphins. We'll also be stopping to sight-see along this route.
