This tour allows you to swim with dolphins up to 6 people per boat. You can also personalize your trip to create memories that you and your family will cherish forever. Since 2010, Flippers Dolphin Tours has been rated as one of Panama City Beach's best things to do. Our captains are experts in the local Bottlenose Dolphins.
This Dolphin Tour boat can carry six people, which is a lot less than larger boats with a capacity for up to 175 tourists. Larger groups can create a lot of noise which disrupts the dolphins and drives them away. It is important to note that we can quickly and expertly get you into the water without scaring away the dolphins.
Our guides have been observing dolphin behavior for many years and are experts in locating bottlenose dolphins. They also safely guide our guests to how to enter water and observe the dolphins in their natural habitat. Your captain will accompany you on a snorkel trip to show you starfishes, pufferfishes and other types of sea animals.
On your excursion you'll visit Panama City Pass as well as the area where St. Andrews Bay merges with the Gulf of Mexico. There are many dolphins in this area. We'll show you how to interact.

If we swim parallel to dolphins instead of swimming towards them or reaching out to them (which is also illegal), then this will be the best, most ethical way to allow dolphins to come to our aid.
Our dolphin and island tour boats are comfortable, stable 21-foot and 23-foot Carolina Skiffs. These boat features a center console design to maximize open space and allow for easy movement around the boat, a fully cushioned forward deck for observation (and lounging), comfortable cushioned seats for your whole group, large bimini tops for shade, plenty of ice chest space, and quiet, clean four-stroke engines.
