Seafari

We invite you to join us for a fun boat trip and a chance see bottlenose Dolphins, one of the most charismatic and fascinating creatures in nature. Call (850). 754-2967 to book your spot on one our Panama City Beach Dolphin Tours.

A dolphin tour can also be a great sightseeing opportunity. All tour boats depart Adventure at Sea in Lower Grand Lagoon. They cruise south and cross the pass between St. Andrew Bay, the Gulf of Mexico and Shell Island. While you can take in the beautiful view, spot seabirds and possibly a turtle, keep your eyes open for dolphins.

Shell Island Dolphin Cruise

Our Dolphin and Snorkeling tours usually begin by searching for wildlife. Our local Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins are often found. Our captains and tour guides are Panama City Beach locals who are knowledgeable about dolphin behavior in the area.

All snorkeling tours include snorkeling gear. We frequently visit different snorkeling areas. We regularly change our snorkeling site. The conditions at our local snorkeling sites can change daily. We do our best to take you snorkeling at the calmest and clearest sites on the day we conduct your Dolphin and Snorkeling tour. We also snorkel sandbars, artificial reefs, as well as seagrass beds. We will take you to some of the most beautiful spots in the area.

This guided tour allows visitors to see both the sea and land sides of Shell Island.

Because we are exploring the dolphins’ natural habitat, it’s always possible that we won’t be able to find where the dolphins are playing today. However, our guides have been doing this for years, and know all the places the dolphins love to be. Virtually all of our tours encounter at least a few of the dolphins that make up the largest population of wild dolphins in the world.

Private tours for up to 6 persons are $400, or less than $70/person. It's a bargain for a 3-hour tour. It is great for families with children and infants, as it allows you to create memories together.

Florida law prohibits dolphins being swam with and touched by humans. Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission officers will be on the water to make sure that the rules are observed. There are chances that dolphins will approach your boat from close range, offering you great views and great photos. Shell Island Snorkel Tours offer the chance to encounter wild dolphins in water. Sometimes, the dolphins swim close to snorkelers.

What do I need to bring to Shell Key

You can bring almost anything, although we have most of the essentials. To be safe, I recommend that you bring a towel, sunglasses with polarization, and a sweater or jacket. Because of the breeze and open boat, it's always cooler out on the water than on land. Bring snacks and drinks.
