Snorkeling and Dolphin Tours Panama City Beach Highway

Over years of observation, our guides have become experts in finding bottlenose dolphins. They also safely guide our guests on how they can enter the water to observe the dolphins in their natural habitat. Your captain will accompany you on a snorkel trip to show you starfish and pufferfish as well as welch conschs and other sea creatures.

Both locals and tourists can join us on dolphin tours to Panama City Beach. It is our top priority that the dolphins do not get disturbed during their daily activities. We are well-versed in the areas where dolphin schools gather, so we will take you to the Gulf of Mexico to show you these amazing dolphins.

We'll bring you as close and as safe as possible to dolphins. It is up to the dolphins to decide how near they want to go and how much interaction. We practice what we call passive observation. This means, in simple terms, that we allow dolphins to come and visit us. Our guests are often treated to amazing encounters with our dolphins in St. Andrews Bay.

"This was the highlight of our Florida trip. We felt comfortable, were able to have fun, and we learned a lot. Captain Jack was friendly. —
