A 2-hour Sunset Cruise & Swim to Shell Island off Panama City Beach.

Experience the breathtaking sunset along the pristine beaches of Shell Island on the Emerald Coast. Mellow out on the boat for a 2-hour sunset dolphin tour with the opportunity to swim with the dolphins (if the conditions are appropriate). If you are vacationing in Destin/Ft Walton Beach, Florida, it is worth the short drive to Panama City Beach.

  • There are no bathrooms on board.
  • The price of the dolphin tour includes Licensed Captain, bottled water and snorkeling gear (a $5 value).
  • Due to COVID-19, we will lend you the goggles only. You are welcome to bring your own snorkeling gear if you wish.
  • Bring a hat, sunglasses and camera. Small coolers are allowed.
  • Must be at least 18 to reserve this charter.
  • Each dolphin boat is Coast Guard approved for six passengers; however, we have multiple boats offering these dolphin trips with a total combined capacity of 18 passengers.
