Santa Rosa Beach-30A Snorkeling Tours

Marcus was an excellent guide! Took us to all the great snorkeling spots. We saw dolphins, stingrays, and some cute little starfish. Perfect private boat ride for our family. Just the right amount of ocean adventure. We all loved it!

Excellent service and attention and 100% fun

We had the best time and our host Marcus was awesome! He was chill and fun would do again for sure and highly recommend asking for Marcus! Thanks, Ryan and Kari Murphy from Bonne Terre, Missouri

We scheduled a private charter with Seaydogs during our recent vacation to Panama City. This was our first time hiring a private charter and for our family of 6 was well worth the money. Kerry, the captain, was very friendly, professional and knowledgeable of the area and it’s history. Each of us wanted something different from dolphin sight seeing, snorkeling, visiting shell island and swimming with dolphins. He accommodated us all and we were very pleased with the experience with it being the highlight of our trip and plan to make this a tradition going forward.

We had a wonderful trip. Hiring Kerry as our private captain was definitely the way to go! Saw several dolphins and had fun snorkeling and just being in the water. Also really enjoyed just riding on the very nice boat and sightseeing from the waters perspective . The next day my daughter asked if we could go back and do that again!

Captain Kerry was amazing sharing his boat and knowledge with us. Dolphins were a plenty the morning we went out. He took us to quiet secluded areas to see the dolphins and to snorkel. Highly recommend. Great for a family.

The guides were great; helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and safe. We had lots of fun this morning. The only disappointment was because of the heavy surf (yellow flag warning) marred the visibility and made it difficult to paddle out and back in. Also, the reef was smaller than I expected and didn't have as much wildlife as I hoped for.

Staff was very attentive and we had a great time! We were disappointed in our sightings but all in all we had an awesome time. We would do it again!

My kids loved it!! Guides did a great job. Would definitely recommend.

My family had a very good time going out on the Vitamin Sea with J. D. It was very fun to see dolphins and to sail in the Bay. J.D. is very knowledgeable and friendly. He made us feel very comfortable and was a great captain and host!

Our family loved this sailboat experience! J.D. was an excellent host with lots of knowledge and experience. There was a pod of dolphins the very first spot that he took us. We followed the pod for about 30 minutes with 10 or so dolphins, and then found a great place to relax, swim and snorkel. There is something very peaceful about being out on the water with wind in the sails verses loud motors! We have a wide range of personalities in our family, but this was a highlight of our Florida trip.

Captain J.D. was an awesome host on the boat, we were very well taken care of. He made the experience fun & pleasurable for our entire family esp my 3 young granddaughters. He interacted with them alot which they really enjoyed. He took us to some great places & we saw tons of dolphins. It was a great time.

Captain JD took us to see so many dolphins which swam beside his catamaran! It was a great up close n personal to see the dolphins in the ocean. We learned a lot from him so knowledgeable! Definitely would go again.

Captain JD showed us a great time! Kids had fun snorkeling catching fish and crabs in their nets. Loved seeing the dolphins too. Thanks for an awesome family experience!!

Captain J.D. was a perfect host! The boat was really nice and comfortable We took the two hour trip which was a great intro. Got to see dolphins closeup and snorkeling too Definitely will do it again !

Robert was very flexible and made sure we got the full experience of seeing dolphins and Shell Island!

Captain Bruce was absolutely amazing! We 100% recommend anyone going through him for a dolphin tour. We saw a bunch of dolphins and had a great time at shell island. He was very knowledgeable and answered any questions we had. We had a handy cap person with us and he was very helpful with helping her get in and out of the boat comfortably. We will definitely return and use this again next time we are in Florida! It was such a great experience with us just being us as a family and not on a huge boat with a bunch of other people. Captain Bruce kept the boat very smooth!

It was so much fun! Can’t wait to do it again. Swam with the dolphins!

I didn't see any underwater life but the experience was unforgettable. I wish the life jackets were standard and not the simple blow up jackets. I loved the banana boat ride, that was the best part!

From the moment that they situated us with our masks and vest till we arrived back on land, we had a great time! After a quick ride on the banana boat we arrived at the blue mat where Carson explained the history of the reef and gave us some instructions. We were so lucky to see a manta ray, several large fish, a baby sea turtle, a sting ray and schools of beautiful fish. Carson was great with pointing things out to us. The staff on the beach was excited to hear about our sightings too and engage in conversations with both of my daughters. We had a great time and would recommend for everyone to go snorkeling at the reef!

I appreciated how patient our instructor was. He did a great job of letting us know what to do and expect.

We really enjoyed this trip. We got to see a lot of dolphins, and the captain and first mate were amazingly friendly and fun.

If you are looking for a fun, breath taking experience for kids, couples or just a group of friends, this is the activity for you. The captain was fantastic, very friendly and funny. The free drinks were great. The captain will go out of his way to make sure everyone sees dolphins and he will make sure everyone has a good time. Definitely the highlight of my vacation.

The tour was awesome! The dolphins were very active and the captain made sure we all got the chance to get a good look at them!

We have a great time. Staff was friendly and made the whole experience fun. Beautiful beaches and views. We would go again.

Beautiful scenery on tour and great service from the staff! Fantastic way to cruise Shell Island and see dolphins along with scenic Gulf views. Would definitely visit again on the next trip!

Shell island was great but the crew out shined the island by far. There was 5 of us, with one being my elderly father of 75 with a hip issue. It had probably been 25+ years since I had visited shell island with my dad, he was so excited to go but I was concerned about him getting on and off the boat. Had I known that the crew members, Grace and Olivia, would be so helpful and kind- I wouldn’t have worried at all. The entire crew on this tour was amazing and gave extra help in watching over my dad. I was actually able to go snorkeling with my husband and kids without any worry of my dad needing help. They helped him off the boat, stayed with him on shore and helped him back onto the boat. It’s the Amazing kindness you don’t find that often- kudos and God bless Island Time Sailing Crew may all your kindness be returned to you 10 fold.
