The Shell Island Excursion with Dolphin and Snorkeling Tours Panama City Beach was the highlight of our trip to Florida. We got to see dolphins swimming right beside the boat and even got to swim with them! The island was pristine, and we enjoyed swimming and snorkeling in the calm waters. The crew was great, and we felt safe and well taken care of throughout the trip.
