Catamaran Dolphin Sightseeing Tour

Are There Dolphins or Porpoises in Panama City Beach? Yes!

Come aboard Paradise Adventures for an aquatic journey to observe the grace and beauty of our resident Panama City Beach dolphins. The “Footloose” Catamaran offers many daily adventures into the shimmering turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico where we look for dolphins on each one of our trips. As we make our way out to sea, our experienced crew and guide will share some fascinating and fun facts about these beautiful creatures. Together, we’ll responsibly watch dolphins as they swim, play, feed, and do what comes naturally. Bottlenose dolphins are a wonder to behold and a memory you’ll treasure for a lifetime. Encounters happen pretty often; however, there is no way that we can guarantee it.

Where To See Dolphins in Panama City?

Our dolphin sightseeing sail is a nice, quiet,  trip along the coast of Panama City Beach and Shell Island. This sail departs from the docks of Bluegreen’s Bayside Resort & Spa.
