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.

Good

The weather was not ideal, but it did not keep us from enjoying our excursion. Our captain was very friendly. I appreciated the manner in which he engaged in conversation with my son.

Dolphin Excursion

Marcus was fantastic! We saw lots of dolphins and he took us to an island to see baby pelicans. Totally worth every penny.

Fantastic

Excellent tour! We saw dolphins and had a wonderful tour of the area. Guide was personable, easy going and willing to go and do whatever we wanted. Highly highly recommend!!

Loved it!

My husband and I loved this trip!  We like the fact that it's a smaller group size (6 max), which makes conversations about the sites much nicer. The dolphins were fun to view. The captain gave us several good tips to observe dolphins safely. We loved the trip into Smack bayou. And it was really cool to view the birds on Audubon Manmade Island and learn about the conservancy efforts for the brown pelican. The captain also gave us excellent dining advice for the local area.

Great trip with a knowledgeable captain

We had a wonderful time today as guest of Wild Adventures ! Marcus was the perfect captain. He’s likable, prompt, attentive and knowledgeable about the area. Also,  we saw at least 10 

Marcus was great!

Marcus was a great tour guide and sure did get are monies worth differently would do it again.

Dolphin Tour

Me n my family had so much fun on this tour. It was less of a tour n more like renting a chauffeur driven private boat for 2 hours, just for your family. Though we didn't see much of Dolphins (only a couple times n that too just their fins) but Marcus did let us get disappointed. He made sure to take us to different parts of nearby Islands and answered all our questions patiently. Another good part was he was in no hurry unlike some other tour guides that I have dealt with in the past. I will book again through them anytime.

Great service

We had the perfect time as a family with 3 young kids. It was the perfect amount of chill and adventure. The boat ride was fun in itself being on a big catamaran and getting up close to see dolphins. And then getting out to explore shell island, swim around, look at beautiful shells and hermit crabs, snorkel, make memories! Kids and adults alike loved it. Highlight of our vacation hands down.

Perfect family experience

The crew was very friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be back! Thanks everyone for such a fun time :)

So much fun!

Best time ever! Great crew! Will do it again every time I vacation there! Absolutely loved every minute of it!

Captain Rob was amazing!  Friendly, fun and we saw countless dolphins.

Small Group Dolphin Tour

The lady at the front was very nice - but after that customer service was to be desired.

We had “Captain Rob”. When he came over to us he just said follow me- we got on the boat and he explained zero things - nothing on safety, nothing on how the ride was going work etc.

Our youngest got scared because Captain rob wanted to give my husband a “great” experience and went aggressive. 
Captain Rob then asked me if our youngest was special needs because he was acting up.

We were very disappointed in the “snorkel” experience.
We were able to see a few dolphins, which were very nice! 

On the ride back, he turned the music on for the first time for the last three minutes, and talked about how to tip him  the last 5 minutes.

When we got off the boat and back into the car we realized we still had a full 35 minutes left our experience, meaning what we paid for 2 hours we only got under  1.5 hours.
I was highly disappointed in this entire experience!

Customer Service to be desired - want our money back

He gave us our bucket list moment we all wanted which was to swim with the dolphins!  My kids talked about it all the way home and how much fun we had. This is a must if you go to Panama!!

Mr Rob was AMAZING !

The trip was so awesome. The employees went out of their way to make our cruise special. My nephew has spina bifida and they made his day by carrying him up to the front of the boat because his wheelchair wouldn’t fit up the walk way. He said that cruis was the best part of our vacation!!

My family had a great time on the ocean and it’s worth the money keep up the great work!!!

We had a great time. The dolphins were not very active and didn't jump but we saw plenty. The hour on Shell Island was very relaxing. We went the end of October and it was not busy at all, just the way we like it. The captain and his crew were great too.

Great time

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.

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!!
