Encounter Panama City’s Dolphins in their Natural Habitat at Shell Island

Seeing and swimming with the dolphins in their natural in their natural habitat on your trip aboard super-comfortable boats.

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 6 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).

Encounter Bottlenose Dolphins in the Wild

You will enter the water before the dolphins arrive. Using this method the dolphins are more likely to come to us out of curiosity rather than swim away.

The dolphins can be finicky and the more we “pretend” they are not there, the more curious they become. It’s kind of like humans when they are dating, the less you “seem to care”, the more curious they will become. Mom can explain this phenomena to you easily, because this is likely how she met your dad.
