"We had so many fun today swimming with the Dolphins, snorkeling, playing on Shell Island, and having so much fun! Panama City Beach Snorkeling & Dolphin Tours LLC would be a great option. This was the highlight on our vacation." - Christy
Over years of observation, our guides have become experts in finding bottlenose dolphins. They also safely guide our guests on how they can enter the water to observe the dolphins in their natural habitat. Your captain will accompany you on a snorkel trip to show you starfish and pufferfish as well as welch conschs and other sea creatures.
We often see a variety starfish, sanddollars, bay scallops and whelks. Also, conchs up 21 inches long, seahorses and urchins as well as hermit crabs and other species of crabs are all common. These animals can be brought to surface and photographed. Large containers are brought so that everyone can see them close up before they're released into the bay. You can take home any shells that are not made of living creatures.
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.
Cruises depart daily based on participation. In the Fall and Winter, Sundays and Mondays are typically closed due to low demand, but the booking calendar will reflect all closed out days. Departure times change with the seasons so be sure to check the calendar for any time changes.
Captain Jack was phenomenal. He was extremely knowledgeable. He let us decide what was important and we selected dolphin sighting for the majority of time.”
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.
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.
If conditions permit, guests may go into the water to see dolphins if possible. Safety is our number one priority. Your captain will teach you how safely to snorkel around marine mammals.
Our friendly, local captains have decades of experience on these waters and a wealth of knowledge about the area’s dolphins, manatees, and other marine life. They are always happy to customize your trip and love showing you the natural beauty of this unique place.
This means that dolphins don’t have a fixed schedule. However, they are more active during daylight as it is essential for hunting and other social activities.

These marine mammals use unique sounds and body language to communicate with their fellow members. The distinctive whistle of dolphins is unique for each animal, much as a person's name.
