Snorkeling and Dolphin Tours Panama City Beach DinnerWe'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.

We’ll get you as close to dolphins as we possibly can while also guaranteeing your safety and theirs. Ultimately, it’s up to the dolphins how close they want to get and how much they want to interact. We practice what we call “passive observation,” which means — in simple terms — that we let the dolphins come to us. Our dolphins in St. Andrews Bay are extraordinarily playful and interactive, though, and our guests frequently have amazing encounters they’ll remember the rest of their lives.
Enjoy a trip on super-fast boats designed to find and visit the dolphins. We are located near Panama City Beach, Rosemary Beach. Santa Rosa. Destin, Mexico Beach, Santa Rosa. Cape San Blas. Also, all of South Walton FL Beaches.
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.

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.

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.
We will travel to Historic Grand Lagoon and take a 25-minute relaxing cruise to Shell Island, our snorkeling area. Look out for dolphins and other sea creatures as you cruise along the coast. 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.
You will find some of the most beautiful beaches and snorkeling spots on Florida's coasts! Mexico Beach and Port St. Joe offer adventure options.
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.
1. Killer whale (Orcinus Orca). Although we tend to think of orcas in colder climates as being more common, around 500 orcas live in Mexico's Gulf of Mexico. Here they are able to eat tuna or even dolphins in its deep waters.
Dolphins do not have gills like fish. Dolphins must breathe oxygen from the air, but they also need to remain in the water. The dolphin can stay in the water while taking in oxygen by jumping out of it. To have fun, increase visibility, remove parasites and improve navigation, dolphins leap out of the water.
Dolphin Swim Adventure rates are $170 Adult and $140 Children per person, plus tax.
