Sunset cruise

Was a great experience and as promised, we got to see many dolphins on the cruise!  Once the boat is at sea, you can move about to get the best view of the dolphins.  Was a great cruise at a great price.  Definitely recommend this and will do it again whenever visiting Panama City.

Fun cruise for all ages.

We had a great time and my Grandsons got to see some dolphins! And the Captain and crew were so nice! Grandsons even got to drive the boat and honk the horn!

What a wonderful and exciting journey. We had a fun team of people on our trip and the capt & co-captain went above and beyond during our voyage. So much fun and will definitely do it again in near future.

Best capt/co-capt

Dolphin chasing to be sure but no harassment of them at all.  A little difficult to see the dolphins in the water due to poor visibility but we did.  Took our 8 year old and she liked the t but not for a smaller child.
All in all it was  a good experience and the  captain “coach” was really nice and knowledgeable!

Dolphins in the wild

Capt Kyle was great. Would have liked more time by the dolphins versus by the beach/rocks  snorkeling

Good Captain

One of the Best family fun experiences

Captain Robert was very knowledgeable and friendly and made the experience so much fun!

So Much Fun!

Six of us went on the dolphin / snorkeling tour with Captain Rob. We had an absolute blast. He helped us find dolphins and got us close enough to them so that we could jump in and swim with them!  Then he took us to two snorkeling locations and they were full of fish and sand dollars. I would definitely book this trip again!

Great trip

Our trip was  amazing . We saw dolphins and many sites around the bay and little history and just overall had a fantastic time.

Excellent

We had a great time out on the boat! Our host was pleasant company and a very interesting person to talk to. We saw some dolphin fins in the distance, moving quickly away from us.  Obviously, it would have been amazing to have gotten a better view, but that’s not promised. We did enjoy ourselves and the areas we explored.

Marcus was extremely friendly and knowledgeable of the area. He also went above and beyond what we expected on the trip. In addition to seeing dolphins he took us around a bunch of local spots that we never would have know about or see otherwise. We were extremely with the trip and when we come back we will definitely be booking with him again!

If you are worried about seeing dolphins, it took about 45 minutes to find them but we did see dolphins and they came right up to the boat. After the first encounter we also found another pod shortly after.

We had a great time on the dolphin cruise. Marcus was well informed about the history of the area and made the trip enjoyable. Good family fun.

So Much Fun

Our captain Marcus provided excellent service. My kids enjoyed not only the ride and dolphin watching but also the stories about the pelican island and pirate cove. Thank you! We will definitely use your services again!
