Shell Island Snorkel and Dolphin Catamaran Cruise with Island Time

Overview

The 3-Hr Shell Island Snorkel & Dolphin Cruise aboard the Island Time Sailing Catamaran is a great way to have fun in the sun and enjoy the best of what Panama City Beach has to offer! Cruise over to Shell Island where you and the whole family can snorkel to find exciting shells and sea life, swim up to the island to explore or paddle board around the boat. After about an hour you will depart the island to head out to the Gulf for sightseeing and dolphin watching and sailing! The cruise ends with contests and dancing. We offer 2 different catamarans for this trip. They are very similar, but have a few differences. The "Island Time" is equipped with a water slide and no over the water nets. While the "Island Time II" has over the water nets located in the front of the boat and no water slide. (Please note: This tour departs from Panama City Beach, FL, which is about 3 hours East of Pensacola.)

We loved our trip to seashell island. The facilities were very clean. The Tour was very family friendly and guides were excellent! I really enjoyed the paddle boarding. My son enjoyed both the snorkeling and paddle board.

Something for all ages! My 2 yr old and 14yr old both had a blast! The guides were funny and experienced. The dolphin tattoos at the end were a bonus. I will say, we took this tour about five years ago, and there seem to be way less people on Shell Island. I would say it has definitely become super commercialized with lots of people and boats. The last time we came, I felt like we had the entire beach to ourselves. This was not a downside just a surprise.

DeAnna, thank you for the review! We are so glad that you and your family had a great time. A friendly tip might be to plan a vacation during our off-season. Off-season officially hits after fall break/midway through October. This might be a better time if you are wanting to avoid the crowds in Panama City Beach.
