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.

"Captain Jack was very precise in positioning us at the moment when the dolphins were swimming right under our feet. It was a truly unique experience.
We will get you in the water before they arrive. This will make it more likely that the dolphins swim to us, rather than to us. Panama City Beach Snorkeling & Dolphin Tours LLC is smaller than larger boats, which can carry as many as 150 people. You can get in the water quickly with your snorkel gear on without having to splash or disrupt the environment that large groups often create. This is often what scares the dolphins away. For larger groups of up to 30 people, we have five identical boats. We limit the number to six per boat. A large family dolphin is also available for 15 people.
We'll bring you as close and as safe as possible to dolphins. It is up to the dolphins to decide how near they want to go and how much interaction. We practice what we call passive observation. This means, in simple terms, that we allow dolphins to come and visit us. Our guests are often treated to amazing encounters with our dolphins in St. Andrews Bay.
We can accommodate a maximum group size of 6 per boat, for a maximum of 12. If you have a larger party, though, we can make arrangements with our local partners.
We do need to note that dolphins are wild animals. Although we know all the places they’re likely to be, very rarely the dolphins evade us.
