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 will get you in the water before they arrive. This will make it more likely that the dolphins swim to us, rather than to us. Panama City Beach Snorkeling & Dolphin Tours LLC is smaller than larger boats, which can carry as many as 150 people. You can get in the water quickly with your snorkel gear on without having to splash or disrupt the environment that large groups often create. This is often what scares the dolphins away. For larger groups of up to 30 people, we have five identical boats. We limit the number to six per boat. A large family dolphin is also available for 15 people.
Your captain can guide you on how to interact safely with dolphins. You can snorkel in the area and it is a great experience. Enjoy watching birds of Prey, starfish, seahorses and starfish in the ocean.
Our Carolina Skiffs (21-foot) and 23-foot Carolina Skiffs (23-foot) are stable and comfortable. These boats have a central console design to maximise open space and allow for easy mobility around the boat. They also feature a forward deck that is fully cushioned for observation (and lounging), plus comfortable seats for everyone in your group.
Our mission is to work with a purpose: By providing Panama City Beach dolphin tours as educational experiences, which allows a greater understanding and appreciation of wildlife. We are an eco-friendly tour and take steps to make sure we do not disturb or harm any wildlife. The dolphins will thank you for choosing an eco-tour outfitter who cares, we will too.
It was a story that dolphins protected sailors in ancient Greece, which even appeared on an episode of Flipper. This idea is so fascinating that many people find it amazing. It's not true, unfortunately.
Dolphins can be seen most often at dawn between 10 am and noon and 2 pm until dusk. It is worth investing in a pair binoculars or great telephoto lenses to help you spot dolphins.
Dorsal Tow Dorsal Tows let you hang on to the dorsal tails of one, two or three dolphins (depending upon where they are) while they race through a body of water. It's an unforgettable ride!
