2 Hour Private Panama City Beach Dolphin Tour
Overview
Unlike crowded pontoon tours, this experience is completely private for your group only — no strangers onboard. Travel comfortably on a fast 27’ Dusky while exploring quieter areas around Shell Island and Panama City Beach that larger boats often can’t reach. With flexible stops, personalized attention, and the ability to customize the trip for more dolphins, cruising, or swimming, this is designed to be more than just a boat ride — it’s meant to be the highlight of your vacation.
What's Included
- Bottled water
- Use of Snorkelling equipment
- Alcoholic beverages Please no glass bottles
Meeting and Pickup
Look for the yellow and white striped awning that says “Sun Harbor Marina” located behind the yellow condos. Walk down the breezeway past the ship store and excursions office. Take the first left toward the docks — the boat is located at Slip 38 with a Saltwater Safaris sign.
What To Expect
During this private 2-hour tour, you’ll cruise the waters of Panama City Beach and Shell Island searching for wild dolphins while enjoying a more personal experience away from crowded tour boats. Depending on conditions and your group’s preferences, you may also stop at Shell Island for a quick swim, sightseeing, or relaxing in the clear shallow water. This tour is fully private for your group of up to 6 guests and can be customized for more dolphin watching, cruising, or swim time.
