    Two hours on a 45' catamaran — see dolphins in their natural habitat during a stunning sunset over the bay.

    This was one of the highlight experiences during my time in PCB. The boat tour was outstanding, and our guide was both humorous and well-informed about the area's history. Watching the dolphins was truly exhilarating. I highly recommend this and can't wait to book it again on my next visit to PCB.Janice_K

    Three hours on the Island Time Catamaran — dolphin spotting and beach time at Shell Island, with optional snorkeling and seashell searching.

    This was a fantastic experience. The crew was incredibly friendly and entertaining, with surprise activities for the kids. They offered tasty cocktails, a variety of drinks, and snacks. Life jackets and snorkeling gear were provided, ensuring multiple dolphin sightings. Shell Island felt entirely private, and we had an hour and a half to enjoy it. I highly recommend this tour, which has options for morning, afternoon, and sunset. The price was quite reasonable too; we paid only $115 for two adults for a three-hour adventure.GrandTour57619527081

    Two hours on the Gulf — a relaxing cruise with dolphin sightings and local marine insights from the captain.

    The experience was truly worthwhile, filled with excitement and stunning views. Our Captain and crew were fantastic. The islanders' 6:45 cruise on May 15 at sunset was exactly what I needed. Thank you!Debra_M

    5. Lower Grand Lagoon sunset cruise on a floating tiki bar

    4.8· 162 reviews· 1.5 hours

    One and a half hours on a floating tiki bar — enjoy the sunset with music, passing homes and resorts; bring your own drinks and snacks.

    The water was gorgeous, and the tiki boat was quite nice. Unfortunately, the guide detracted from the experience significantly. His constant barrage of "dad jokes," some of which were racist and homophobic, made it rather uncomfortable.Victoria_L

    8. Dolphin sightseeing and snorkeling tour in Panama City Beach

    4.8· 478 reviews· 3 hours

    Three hours on a boat — dolphin watching in Grand Lagoon followed by shallow-water snorkeling, with snacks and drinks available on board.

    Our original plan was to go on the tiki boat, but when it got canceled, we were switched to the catamaran, and I couldn't have been more pleased. Chelsea and Kelly were fantastic; they made the experience enjoyable and shared great information about the region. I definitely plan to return and will request both of them. Snorkeling at Shell Island was incredible, and the scenery was gorgeous. We even spotted many dolphins, which added to the excitement. It was such a fun day.619delanat
