    My family had a blast!!! Brittany is the best!!!

    We had an amazing experience with Ms. Brittany from B by the Sea Adventures in Panama City Beach! From start to finish, she was friendly, professional, and made us feel completely welcome. Our snorkeling trip was fantastic, and we were lucky enough to see dolphins which made the experience even more memorable. The highlight of the trip, though, was how wonderful Brittany was with my daughter. She made sure she felt comfortable, included, and had an absolute blast. Seeing my daughter smile and enjoy every moment made this trip truly special. Brittany’s knowledge of the area, positive attitude, and genuine passion for what she does really set her apart. She made the entire adventure fun, relaxing, and unforgettable. I highly recommend B by the Sea Adventures to anyone visiting Panama City Beach. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Brittany again on our next trip. Thank you for giving our family such wonderful memories!

    Fantastic tour! Brittany...

    Fantastic tour! Brittany was a great guide that knew exactly where to go to be away from the larger tours. She was fantastic with kids, spending the time to teach them how to find and identify shark teeth and fish bones. She brought us snorkeling in a kid safe spot, to a beautiful beach, and to a spot frequented by sea turtles. We were lucky enough to see both the turtles and dolphins. Great private tour - highly recommend

    Our original date was...

    Our original date was very cloudy and cold. She called us to see if we would like to reschedule to a warmer day. We appreciate that so much , because we planned on doing some snorkeling. Our main goal was to see some dolphins, she took us right to them. They put on an amazing show. It was the highlight of our vacation. Thanks for a wonderful experience.

    Family friendly snorkelling/dolphin spotting trip

    Brittany was awesome with our family tour. She heard what we wanted to make it a great experience for our 7 yr old. She had dolphins come right up to the boat. She was very knowledgeable for all his questions about birds in the area. She helped our group with snorkelling tips. We couldn’t have been in better hands. Definitely recommend Brittany, and we’ll be back!

    Snorkeling, Dolphin and Wildlife Sightings at St. Andrews Bay: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Panama City Beach.

    How much does Snorkeling, Dolphin and Wildlife Sightings at St. Andrews Bay cost?

    +

    Prices start at $350 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Panama City Beach usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Snorkeling, Dolphin and Wildlife Sightings at St. Andrews Bay take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Panama City Beach is not rushed.

    Is Snorkeling, Dolphin and Wildlife Sightings at St. Andrews Bay worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 95 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable family friendly in Panama City Beach, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Snorkeling, Dolphin and Wildlife Sightings at St. Andrews Bay?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Snorkeling, Dolphin and Wildlife Sightings at St. Andrews Bay suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Snorkeling, Dolphin and Wildlife Sightings at St. Andrews Bay?

    +

    Around 33 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Panama City Beach can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Panama City Beach and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Snorkeling, Dolphin and Wildlife Sightings at St. Andrews Bay start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Panama City Beach within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Panama City Beach?

    +

    Panama City Beach sells dolphin encounters, Shell Island snorkel trips, jet ski and pontoon rentals, parasailing and sunset cruises along a long stretch of white Gulf sand. On Outty we rank every Panama City Beach experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Dolphin Sunset Cruise in Panama City Beach on the "Island Time", Shell Island Snorkel and Dolphin Catamaran Cruise with Island Time, Cypress Springs Eco Adventure. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Panama City Beach?

    +

    April to May and September to October. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Panama City Beach?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
