Description

Get front-row seats to the best show in Panama City Beach! Skip the beach crowds and head out onto the emerald waters for an authentic encounter with our resident pods of Atlantic Bottlenose dolphins. This dedicated dolphin cruise is designed for those who want to spend less time "touring" and more time watching these incredible animals play, jump, and surf our wake. Our expert captains use years of local knowledge to find the most active pods, giving you the best possible photo opportunities in the Gulf of Mexico and St. Andrews Bay.

The great view of Panama City Beach!

We had a 12pm cruise! Me and my husband went on this tour and it was absolutely beautiful! It was also very good priced for two people! $59 plus $2 a piece for regular sodas and snacks. Not only did the captain show us dolphins, but also a rare green sea turtle!

1.5 hour dolphin tour

Absolutely amazing experience! My daughter, niece, and I were lucky enough to spot several dolphins, which made the trip truly unforgettable. The music was fantastic, and the Captain Rob and crew (Kenley) were wonderful — friendly, professional, and so much fun. We had such a great time that we're already booking another trip for tomorrow! Highly recommend!
