For your Florida vacation, you want a fun and unique experience. Gabby's Dolphin Tours PCB has more information about Shell Island snorkeling, and dolphin tours. We look forward seeing you soon!
This Dolphin Tour boat has a maximum of six passengers. That's six more than the 175-person capacity of larger tour boats. Larger groups create too much noise, which can disturb the dolphins, driving them away. The best part is that we will quickly get you in to the water, and not scare away the dolphins.
You can motor in our boats built for cruising while watching beautiful dolphins in their natural environment and swimming with them.
You will be able to swim with dolphins in their natural habitat while on a comfortable boat trip. The boats are actually dive boats, so children will enjoy seeing dolphins in their natural habitat and snorkeling in the ocean just like SCUBA divers.
This trip is for you if you want to have a personal encounter with the dolphins. It's not just a sightseeing tour. You get to choose the activities and how much time you spend on the tour.
Our boats can be used for cruising. You can also enjoy swimming with dolphins and watching them in their natural environment.
Your privacy is guaranteed on your private dolphin tour. The boat will only have you and the captain. Keep in mind that 13 passengers is the maximum allowed by the Coast Guard, children of all ages are included.
The captain will show you numerous options so you can get the most from your dolphin tour. One of the options is snorkeling in the grass flats on Shell Island or at the jetties. Enjoy a walk on sand to find starfish, crabs starsfish, fish & birds. This amazing eco tour is a great way to get out and about.
Before the dolphins arrive, you will be in the water. The dolphins will be attracted to you because they are curious. Dolphins are finicky creatures and will be more curious if we pretend they're not there.
We often see manatees. Manatees may occasionally be found in the waters near you, but we only practice passive observation.
Enjoy a trip on super-fast boats designed to allow you to swim with wild bottlenose dolphins in Panama City. Blue Dolphin Tours has a smaller number of passengers than the larger tour boats which can hold up to 150 people. With your snorkel gear on, we can get you in the water quickly without causing any disruptions or splashing that large groups often cause. This is important because it doesn't scare away the dolphins. Your knowledgeable captain will guide you in how to interact best with dolphins. This includes swimming parallel to the dolphins and not swimming towards them or reaching for them. Swim with Dolphins- We'll get you in the water before they arrive. The dolphins will be more likely to swim towards us than away, this way. Explore wildlife, including birds of Prey, pelicans and underwater creatures. Shells and sanddollars can be found at Shell Island. You can snorkel the flats of sand grass and visit St. Andrews Bay as well as the Gulf of Mexico.
If the conditions permit, guests can jump in the water with dolphins nearby if they are allowed. Safety is our top priority. Your captain will show you how to safely snorkel among marine mammals.
It's all worth it once you get there because the water is the most beautiful I've ever seen. The water is so clear that it feels like you're swimming in a pool. We had no idea what to expect, so we went with the intention of spending a few hours on the island. Come prepared to spend the entire day!
Dolphins, loggerhead turtles, green sea turtles, ghost crabs, beach mice, nine-banded armadillos, alligators that live in the island's lake, marsh rabbits, racoons, and other wildlife can be found on Shell Island.
Wear nothing but a swimsuit. Dolphins have extremely sensitive skin, and because you will be able to touch them during your interaction, we recommend that you refrain from wearing sunscreen, oils, or perfumes.
