1st Leg of Your Tour-The Dolphins

Our 2 hour private dolphin tour will reserve the boat for just your family or group (if you choose), the mate and the captain. Coast Guard regulations state the maximum passengers allowed is 17, including infants and children.

During our 2 hour tour your captain will take you Panama City Pass, where the Gulf of America meets St. Andrews Bay. This is where we locate dolphins and will show you how to get in the water and see them up close.

Swim with Panama City’s Resident Pod of Wild Bottle-Nosed Dolphins (subject to captain's discretion for safety)

See and swim with the dolphins in their natural in their natural habitat on your trip aboard super-comfortable boats. (subject to captain's discretion for safety)

Our boats are actual dive boats so the children will love finding and seeing the dolphins and having the opportunity to snorkel in the water just like a real SCUBA diver.

Unlike the larger tour boats that carry up to 175 people, this Dolphin Tour carries only 17 passengers (children of all ages included). We can have you in the water with your snorkel gear on quickly and without all the noise those large groups create, often scaring the dolphins away.

Your captain will instruct you on the best method of entering the water and seeing the dolphins up close and personal.

Swimming parallel with the dolphins rather than swimming toward them or reaching out for them (this is also illegal), we will allow the dolphins to come to us (best, most ethical method).

2nd Leg of Your Tour-Shell Island

For the second portion of the trip you will have the opportunity to discover all the wildlife of beautiful St Andrews Bay, including the osprey, pelicans, herons and underwater creatures such as sea horses, starfish, sea urchins, blue crabs, hermit crabs and the other critters who call the waters of Shell Island home. Explore Shell Island for sand dollars and shells. Snorkel grass flats and discover St. Andrews Bay along the Gulf of America and Shell Island.

You will arrive at your snorkeling destination where your captain will get in the water with you and show you how to find seashells and other sea life. Booking this private trip will allow you to make the call the regarding how you would like to spend your tour time to ensure you spend the time exactly as you dreamed it to be.

All snorkeling gear is waiting for you on the boat AT NO EXTRA CHARGE. You will have access to a cooler on the boat stocked with complimentary bottled water and/or Capri Suns. You are also welcome to bring your own beverages, snacks and BYOB.

Disclaimer

• Sometimes dolphins do not cooperate because they are wild animals.
• We always see dolphins but sometimes they are in transit and make swimming with them impossible. But that is the nature of wild dolphins.
• Sometimes, when we find the dolphins, the water may be too rough to swim with them and swimming with the dolphins will be at the captains discretion for safety purposes.
• Boat traffic: If boat traffic is dangerous, the captain reserves the right to deny swimming with the dolphins because all tour operators are not alike, nor are they all safe. Your safety is our #1 priority.
