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 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
You can motor in our boats built for cruising while watching beautiful dolphins in their natural environment and swimming with them.
Children will love snorkeling in the ocean with SCUBA divers and finding dolphins.
Our mission is simple: To provide Panama City Beach dolphin tour as an educational experience, which will allow a greater appreciation and understanding of wildlife. 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.
Our comfortable, stable Carolina Skiffs 21-foot- and 23-foot Carolina Skiffs are ideal for island and dolphin tours. This boat features a centre console design to maximize open space.
Your group will jump into the water first before the dolphins. This will make the dolphins curious and they will swim towards you instead of away. Since dolphins are wild animals, it is best to be uninterested in them. This can be attributed to those who are only interested in someone when they show little care. This is probably how mom met your dad.
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).
“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.
Snorkeling is a fun and easy activity for people of all ages. One of the best things about Shell Island is that the calm shallow water behind the jetty is ideal for first-time snorkelers.
When is the Best Time to Visit Florida to See Dolphins? The best time to see dolphins is from late May to early August. You're most likely to see them between 10 a.m. and noon, and then again between 2 p.m. and dark.
If you and your family enjoy fishing, eating seafood, golfing, a vibrant nightlife, and shopping, Destin is the place to be. However, if you want a more relaxed family vacation with excellent waterfront lodging and a variety of children's activities, Panama City Beach is the place to be.
