Dolphins are an unrelated group of aquatic mammals that exist all around the globe. The most common dolphin in Florida is the bottlenose dolphin. Panama City Beach Snorkeling & Dolphin Tours LLC's iconic grey dolphin is what made them famous. Americans have seen dolphins do tricks for fish over the years at many marine attractions throughout the country. Recent years have seen more protections put in place for wild dolphins.

For a relaxing 25-minute cruise to Shell Island, our snorkel area, we will leave Historic Grand Lagoon. Keep an eye out for dolphins, sea creatures and other marine life as you travel. We will either anchor along the Gulf of Mexico, Shell Island, or both. Here you can snorkel for shells, learn more about the local marine life, and just relax while taking in the sun. To hunt for shells, you can also swim through the shallow waters to Shell Island. After spending some time on Shell Island, the trip will conclude with a ride to the Gulf of Mexico where we can search for dolphins as well as sight-see.

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.
