Loved the tour and the island where they took us to go swimming!  Money well spent.

Tour

Was one of the best experiences! We got to see a manta ray, a sea turtle and dolphins!! Would absolutely recommend this trip to anyone!!

Very pleased!

We had a wonderful time!!! We had 9 people in our group- We seen Dolphins 

Cap. Anderson 3

The overall experience was amazing the captain was amazing he went out of his way to make sure we saw dolphins it is a walk from the port to shell island once you get off  make sure you prepared would definitely recommend and do again had 2 small children with our group of 5

She'll island dolphin cruise with captain Andersons

Whole family had a great time! The staff are very knowledgeable about the area and very friendly as well!

Was fun!

Would have enjoyed a little more time on the island, it felt rushed to get out to the beach, swim and do a short walk, then back to the boat. While I enjoyed seeing the wild life on the boat, I feel it was a little too long circling around to see the same group of dolphins. If it were more like half and half time split, would have been a 5-star!!

Fun trip

We booked with capt. Anderson last minute and had the best time! Staff was helpful with booking and all our questions. The captain and crew were friendly. Captain took time to point out  dolphins and sea turtles. This  boat offered air conditioned indoors, open air up top, concessions, and restrooms. It also stayed at the dock during shell island time(you could go back to boat at anytime). Highly recommend! An adventure I’m glad we didn’t miss!

Highly recommend capt anderson

Crew was great.  Thank you for a awesome time!  The family enjoyed it very much.

Excellent

The captian and his crew were fantastic. Got to see 50 dolphins. The weather was great. The boat ride was wonderful.

We've gone on this excursion a few times and this was the most engaging by far. In 2021, there was  an employee who had Trump attire on and it was super uncomfortable because he just sat there in the middle of everyone on the top level. However, we got to see lots of dolphins and the rest of the trip was great. This time was even better because the captain allowed kids to drive the boat and that was such a nice touch along with the two gentlemen who walked around with a couple sea creatures for the kids to see and touch. We will be back!

Coach was great getting us where we needed to be., that was a trip we will never forget.  We also loved talking about all the things we found in the ocean.  I want to do it again!

Unforgettable!!!

We had a large group of 10 and went out with two boats! Both captains were amazing and so fun! This was one of the coolest things I’ve ever done! Everyone in our group agreed it was amazing! Ages in our group ranged  from 15 years to 50 years old. The boat rides were similar to being out on the lake, they are pontoon style with shade! If you’re on the fence about this one, do it! I promise you won’t regret it!

Do it!!!

The dolphin excursion was an amazing experience.  Our Captain Josh was very friendly and informative, and did his best to ensure that we had a great time.  We saw dozens and dozens of dolphins!  We would definitely do it again!!

My family had a great time! Trevor was fantastic! He was polite and courteous. He asked us what our priorities were for the excursion and we were able to see dolphins, sea turtles, snorkel and walk around Shell Island.  Our 9 and 11 year olds (as well as my husband and I) will never forget the boat trip and Trevor. Highly recommend!

Amazing Experience

We had an amazing boat ride! Captain Connor went above and beyond the expectations. We went to multiple spots and we saw dolphins and a sea turtle. Snorkeling was so much fun and Captain Connor even found us a sea urchin and a large crab. I would highly recommend this experience!

Captain Connor is Anazing

The trip was very nice.  Trevor was very personable and did a very good job with explaining everything.  I feel he went above and beyond what was required of him.  My kids (13 and 10) enjoyed the snorkeling on Shell Island.

Wouldn't hesitate to book again!

Our group of 13 loved the sail and the calm waters around Shell Island. Loved the music as the Catamaran pulled out headed to sea. Girls loved not only sailing but the  snorkeling and playing in the water. They esp loved all the music and dancing on the way  back to shore......on this 3 hour cruise!! Thank you Gilligans for the wonderful experience my girls had and we will definitely rebook again on another trip to Panama City. This was a perfect memory of our trip.

Absolutely wonderful!  Our crew. Jeremy & Jamie, created an experience to be remembered. The boat and the entire evening was way beyond our hopes. We’ve been on other  dolphin tours. The Ohana (means family and we were treated as such) was way beyond anything we’ve done before. The actual highlight of the 7 years we’ve been coming to PCB!  There should be a special level of 6 stars for exceptional experiences - this cruise was at that level. We will definitely do it again

The crew was amazing.  Was very attentive to our wants and needs.  A wonderful evening on the water.   Will do again.

We enjoyed our 6 passengers sail our captain and mate were hands on for a nice personal touch out on the water thank you very much:)
