We saw tons of dolphins! It is awesome to be that close to such an amazing creature.
The cruise was four hours - which may be a little long - but it was a lot more time than any one else was offering, so why not get your moneys worth?
I think I might try the jet ski tour next time

Our guide, Eric, was a laid back, knowledgeable, likeable surfer-type guy. Despite evoking that stereotype, he was also attentive and conscientious, which was extremely important with some serious helicopter parents of two 8-year-old boys. We began skeptically, and teased him about the 100% positive reviews. Before we went, I actually figured that some glowing reviews might be fake, but here I am writing one! This is a case where great employee makes the entire thing work. Eric may be out because he just opened a surf shop.

Thank you so much for your enthusiasm. We hope to have you back
Had a great time. Gained lots of knowledge. The boat driver worked really hard to find us some dolphins to swim with. It was a grea day.

Dennis was our captain and he was very knowledgable about dolphins. He answered every question we had! We really enjoyed our time with him and would take another trip with him again. We would recommend this experience to anyone!

Your comments are very much appreciated. It was a pleasure to have you on board and to be able to introduce you to these wonderful marine mammals.

My husband and I went on the "Swim with the Dolphin" adventure last Saturday. What an experience! It was the best time I've ever had in the water, bar none. The dolphin are wild in the open Gulf and so friendly and curious that they swim right up near you. Please see my photos. This was an unbelievable encounter that I will remember for the rest of my life. If you go to Panama City, don't miss out on this trip! The staff was great and Captain Jerrard was the best.

It was an amazing experience. I can't believe how close we got to the dolphins. Who knew dolphins were so friendly. The staff was excellent and they showed a lot of compassion for the guests and wildlife. We will be telling our friends.
