“This was a highlight of our Florida trip. We felt safe, really enjoyed ourselves, and learned some things too. Captain Jack was friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating.”
Out of the water, you’ll see a huge variety of birds, ranging from raptors like bald eagles and ospreys, to shorebirds like great blue herons and egrets, to seabirds like magnificent frigatebirds and terns. We also sometimes see deer on the island.
"Captain Jack made sure we were exactly where we needed to be in order to see the dolphins swimming underneath our feet. It was quite an experience."
We can accommodate a maximum group size of 13 per boat, for a maximum of 12. If you have a larger party, though, we can make arrangements with our local partners.
We will swim parallel to the dolphins, rather than swimming towards them or reaching for them (which is also illegal), and we will let them come to us (best, most ethical way).
Our 21-foot and 23 foot Carolina Skiffs are stable, comfortable and stable. The boat has a central console design that maximizes open space and allows for easy movement. It also features a forward deck with a cushioned cushion for observation and lounging. There are large bimini tops to shade you and plenty of ice chest space.
We depart from the docks in Off the Hook Bar & Grill near the Thomas Drive bridge at 1101 Bayview Avenue Panama City FL, 32401.
"We had so much great fun today swimming, snorkeling, playing on Shell Island and all the other activities! This company is highly recommended. This was our highlight vacation. - Christy

We are an ecofriendly tour, and we take all necessary steps to ensure no wildlife is disturbed or harmed. Your choice to be an eco-tour guide will make dolphins happy. We will, too.
It was a great way for a day to be spent! I took my 22-year old son and two of his friends on a half-day trip. The day was great and the pontoon boat was great. Rob was great! Everyone had the best time.
We leave from the docks at Off the Hook Bar & Grill at the foot of the foot of the Thomas Drive bridge, 1101 Bayview Avenue Panama City, FL 32401.

Shell Island in Panama City Beach is a great place to see wild dolphin pods. Shell Island, located across the water from Saint Andrew's Park, is 7 miles of incredible beach bliss. This natural wonder is one of the best places in Panama City Beach to see and swim with dolphins.
Dolphins are most likely to be seen when the sun is shining and the water is calm and clear. Feeding activities are typically observed on an incoming tide. Choose a dolphin tour operator that is on the water nearly every day of the year, such as Panama City Beach Dolphin Tours.
