Our Story
Dolphin Seafari is a family owned and operated business located in Panama City Beach, Florida. We like to refer to ourselves as ‘memory making experts”. We specialize in offering guided snorkeling and dolphin tours around Shell Island. All of our captains are U.S Coast Guard certified with extensive knowledge of our area and eco-system. We enjoy catering to all ages and skill levels to ensure you have a memorable experience and book with us for years to come. The bottlenose dolphins in our area are wild, they are not contained and roam freely in our local waters. Customers can experience the unique clicks and sounds dolphins use to communicate while underwater as well as see their feeding habits of baitfish. Our snorkeling location is a shallow, calm, protected area along the bayside of Shell Island. Our captains will assist you with using a mask and snorkel and swim with you to collect sea shells and sand dollars. They also find an abundance of sea life such as starfish, sea horses, puffer fish, conchs, crabs, urchins and much more that you will see up close. We are happy to take photos for you to share with friends and family and remember your trip with us. Our boats are designed to provide a comfortable ride with easy access on and off the boat. We provide snorkels, masks, life jackets, and have a cooler on the boat that will be stocked with ice and bottled water at no additional charge. We look forward to making memories with you and sharing this beautiful place we call home.
