Include Panama City Dolphin Tours On Your Next Vacation

By Eric Edwards


A trip to the beach is a joy, whether you are there alone, with that special someone, or with the whole family in tow. Building sand castles and enjoying the sea air is great, but perhaps you want to take things to the next level. If that sounds like something you want to do, then you will want to look into Panama City dolphin tours as a way to interact safely with these intelligent sea creatures.

There are a couple of ways that the companies that have dolphin tours will do this. There are some where the dolphins are in an ocean pen, so you walk up to the dock and dive into the pen with them. In most cases though, you will board a boat and be taken out to sea, to an area that is full of dolphins. The boat ride is usually fairly short, and you get to see the gorgeous blue and green colors of the water as you travel.

Whatever boat the company has to take you out, it is likely large enough to seat many more people than just your group. You can share the trip with others, or you can opt to splurge a little and book a private tour instead. Nobody else will be on board, so you have more space and get more interaction time in the water as well.

If you are with your family or a large group of people, most companies can accommodate you. Some boats can take 20 or more people out at one time. In fact, if you have a large family or group, you might want to ask about a discount. If you book all the tickets at once, they may be able to cut you a discount for larger groups.

These tours are fantastic for families where there is a large age gap between children. Often, kids with big age gaps do not like the same things and rarely agree on activities. But the allure of dolphins in the ocean is tempting for just about everyone.

All tour companies only hire experienced people who are knowledgeable about boats and how to stay safe on them. They provide life jackets and will probably insist that younger kids always wear one. You will likely get a crash course in safety, usually during or before the boat ride so when you arrive, you can have fun without any danger.

Usually all you need is a swim suit, towel and suntan lotion. Some companies provide water or other refreshments while on board, while others may not. Ask when you book so you know whether or not to take a bottle of water with you.

When you do book, it is better to do so in advance. This is especially true if you are planning on going during March or April, as these two months are full of spring breakers from different parts of the country. Book far in advance for summer too, as spots fill up quickly due to kids being on summer vacation. This ensures that you have a spot and get the chance of a lifetime to interact with one of the most playful animals on earth.
