Dolphin and Whale Watching
Sea life enthusiasts will want to book a Panama City party bus rental and take a ferry or boat through St. Andrews Bay to Shell Island, where they can relax on the sandy white beach and watch the dolphins. If the beach isn’t your style, you can book a boat tour, kick back on the upper deck, and let the sea breeze flow through your hair as you spot whales from the comfort of your chair.
Whether you want to collect shells on the beach or enjoy drinks in comfort, You can even book an opportunity to swim with the dolphins!
Snorkeling Tours
Another great way to get up close and personal with the sea life in Panama City is to reserve a snorkeling tour. Many boats leave several times a day to cruise around the bay to watch the dolphins, then don provided snorkeling gear and dip below the waves to see the dolphins first-hand. Snorkeling tours usually last a few hours and are a great option for families or small groups, making it a perfect day trip for a minibus rental in Panama City.
The Museum of Man in the Sea
Featuring exhibits showcasing the history of diving, the Man in the Sea Museum offers visitors a chance to explore exhibits such as SEALAB-1 (the world’s first underwater living facility), early diving suits and Navy training modules, and even climb into a Mark IV Beaver submarine.
