Itinerary

Panama City Beach

one hour

Enjoy a dedicated boat and crew, ensuring a personalized and intimate experience just for you. Perfect for families, couples, or small groups. With normal circumstances, this is how most of our tours are laid out: unless requested otherwise, we will take about a 15-minute ride out to the Gulf of Mexico, to the beautiful crystal clear emerald waters off the coast. Most of our dolphin encounters will happen in this area due to the abundance of bait and the clarity of the water.
Shell Island

one hour Admission included

During the tour, we will stop at Shell Island in Panama City Beach, a beautiful and secluded barrier island. While there, you can snorkel in search of shells, sand dollars, and starfish in the clear water. You can also take time to walk along the quiet beach and enjoy the natural, untouched surroundings.
