Snorkeling and Dolphin Tours Panama City Beach MeOver many years of observing the dolphins’ natural behaviors, our guides are experts at locating bottlenose dolphins and safely instructing our guests on how to enter the water and observe them in their natural habitat. Plus, your captain will snorkel alongside you to show you starfish, pufferfish, welch conchs, sand dollars, and various other types of sea creatures.
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.
Dolphins are wild animals, however. Even though we are familiar with all of the locations they might be in, it is rare for dolphins to escape our reach. Panama City Beach Snorkeling & Dolphin Tours LLC will take you to the ocean and back. We will make every effort to make sure that you don’t miss this famous piece of Florida’s natural landscape.

Want to book a private tour for your group? Our private charter options allow customers to add additional time to their private dolphin tour (starting at 2 or 3 hours) to add additional activities (ex: additional snorkeling location, more island time, etc.). Boats can accommodate 6 passengers per boat. Your designated captain will instruct you on how to get in the water and see the dolphins in their natural habitat.

We'll take you into the water before the dolphins arrive. So the dolphins are more likely than not to swim away to us to find us. Panama City Beach Snorkeling & Dolphin Tours LLC only has 6 passengers (children and adults included) as opposed to larger tour boats carrying up to 150 people. Our snorkel gear can be put on quickly so you don't have the disruptions and splashing that large groups cause, which often scares the dolphins. We have five boats with identical designs for larger groups. The new Large Family Dolphin can accommodate up to 15 guests.
