Dolphins are a loosely connected group of aquatic mammals which live around the world. The most common dolphin found in Florida is called the bottlenose. Panama City Beach Snorkeling & Dolphin Tours LLC has made the grey dolphin famous. Americans have known for many years that dolphins can perform tricks on fish at several marine attractions in the United States. Since then, more protections have been placed around wild dolphins.
All Panama City Beach residents can enjoy a dolphin tour. Waverunners can be rented for an adventurous ride. Our tour boats are great for families with young children or those who just want to relax and enjoy the ride while we search for wild dolphins. You can also take photos and video to make your trip memorable.
"We had such a great time today snorkeling with dolphins and playing on Shell Island. I highly recommend Panama City Beach Snorkeling & Dolphin Tours LLC. This was the highlight our vacation. - Christy
We see many species, including starfish, sand dollar, bay scallops. Whelks. Conchs up to 212" long. Seahorses, Urchins. Hermit crabs. These animals can be brought up to the surface, handled gently, and photographed. We bring large containers so that snorkelers, as well as non-snorkelers, can get close to the animals before they are released into the bay. The shells of non-living creatures can be taken home.
We also visit Shell Island on our dolphin and island tour. Here you can visit the beach and hunt for shells.

Provisioned dolphins can be bribed with fish in order to interact with people. They are not socially connected like the single dolphin. Instead, they will only be interested in receiving free food. They are friendly and curious, according to many visitors. Aggression is still a problem.
Under the Marine Mammal Protection Act, swimming with spinner dolphins at rest could be considered "harassment." This Act prohibits any act that could disrupt the behavior of a marine mammal by causing torment, harassment, or other nuisances.
