Swim with Friendly Bottlenose Dolphins
Swim with bottlenose dolphins in their natural habitat right in Panama City Beach. Our boat tours take you to the Gulf of Mexico side of Shell Island so you can interact with these friendly swimmers in the warm, blue waters. We keep the boat at a safe distance and give you detailed instructions on when and how to swim with them safely.
Discover Shell Island Sea Life
There’s more to see than just dolphins in beautiful Shell Island. Once we have spent time with the dolphins, our guides will take you to the bayside to swim, snorkel, collect shells, and discover sea life. Our captains will even get into the water with you, showing you pufferfish, sand dollars, crabs, and starfish. You’ll get an educational overview of all these species and of the local ecosystem.
Great for All Ages
Our dolphin tours are guided snorkeling experiences suited to all skill levels! We do not have a minimum age requirement to go on our tours. Our captains are great with children of all ages and will help them find sea life, learn about dolphin behavior, and more. We strive to make sure the kids have a great time and feel safe!
