Panama City Beach Special Occasion Activities, Tours & Attractions

Cruising aboard the Privateer was amazing. My husband and I were celebrating our 28th wedding anniversary and this adventure sealed our final putting in Panama. Watching the dolphins was exhilarating and I (we) were in amazement of God’s creations. The tour guide and accompany were friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend this adventure!!

We took the evening dolphin cruise with Ryan, Jonathan and Anna and they gave us a great ride and we saw a lots of dolphins. would definitely do this again

This was an experience me and my wife will never forget, and look forward to doing it again. I would recommend this for anyone – great time, beautiful weather, and wonderful music. Thanks to the crew!!!!!!

Nice boat ride, staff was great. Didnt see any dolphins

Skipper Justine and first mate/Bartender/Plumber were excellent!

CJ and Captain Gordon were amazing!! We saw dolphins and when we were snorkeling we saw fish star fish crabs, even a sea horse. This was one of THE most amazing things that we did!! Thanks Captaing Gordon and C.J for a fun time we will never forget!

The entire staff are so accommodating to my special needs daughter who is so fascinated with helicopters. They are great! She and her younger sister enjoyed their flight!

It was awesome. Pilot and staff was friendly and informative. Great Experience!

Took my 5 year old on the intro tour and he had a blast. The pilot was very friendly and office staff very helpful

The trip was wonderful! The staff were so nice and will help you with anything! It was Very relaxing, Great music, fun activities especially the banana boat rides. We got to see the dolphins which was a great end to the trip. I highly recommend anyone go and spend the day out cruising the waters and playing!

There was 13 of us in our group! We all had a blast! I highly recommend!

Experience with Justin and CJ were great along with all the support staff. The grand parents had a good time along with the grandchildren. Would do it again! Great value for the money spent.

Paul was so pleasant and knew so much about the area and the wildlife and sea life of the area. Not only did we see several different pods of dolphins (in open waters of the Gulf) and go into the water with them, but a moma dolphin and her calf swam beneath me and a large dolphin swam within arms length of me and I found myself face to face with the beautiful creature! This is something I will definitely schedule again when in the area.

We went out on our excursion on Monday August 5th. Our guide was Dale and he was GREAT!!!! My kids and I had an amazing time and loved the experience to get to see dolphins swimming all around us in the ocean... Thank you so much Water Plant and thank you Dale for a great time on the boat. Cindy, Emily & Clayton from Illinois

Captain Amelia was fantastic! She navigated us expertly through some big waves, was full of information and even laughed at our jokes! PLUS....we got to swim with wild dolphins!!! I WILL be doing this again and WILL be requesting Captain Amelia again!

We have been to Panama City many, many times and have taken various short cruises, but this one was the best! The water was calm, the winds were perfect, the crew was competent, courteous, and entertaining (especially great with the children onboard), and we knew we would probably see dolphins. Did we ever see dolphins! They put on quite the show for us to the point the crew said it was unusual. Follow that with rum ouch and the most beautiful sunset, and a very friendly deer on the island, and Island Time made some of the best memories we have from our PCB trips!

The crew were great and very attentive. The captain got us right into several pods of dolphins, there were everywhere. Then a big freighter came out of port and we’re got to see the dolphins jumping out of the water just in front of it. REALLY COOL!!! Then we saw deer on the beach. Oh and the sunset was beautiful. We really had a great time. Thank you!

We had been hoping to take the Lady Anderson dinner cruise, but were disappointed that she is gone. I love to sail so my date suggested this sunset sail. The weather was almost perfect and, except for the clouds, the sunset was beautiful! The 2 hours flew by! I wish the cruise had been 3 hours instead of 2. Their music choices were appropriate to the setting and not too loud.

Was great experience,Charly and Capitan was very good with us,I’m have two trips the same day because I like have the experience on sea to sea all fireworks Charly give to all guests súper custumer service is very attentive , and polite,I’m very recommend the trip in Panama City

Great experience! Saw a group of dolphins! The crew was super sweet and knowledgeable!

Captain Gordon and Charlie were very nice and seeing the dolphins was very exciting and enjoyable. Everything was great except for the last hour of the tour where we wandered around the sea. Really wish we had more time with the dolphins but otherwise very fun and I definetly recommend this experience to other families. The boat was very clean and I believe this dolphin tour is the best in panama city.

Our family of five had a great time! Kevin was friendly and personable. We saw dolphins and enjoyed swimming off the boat and snorkeling. I recommend it for a family adventure!

Our trip was amazing! Our captain was nothing short of awesome! He was so knowledgeable & he quickly spotted dolphins! I would totally do it again! Shell Island was GORGEOUS , absolutely breathtaking ❤️ The water is crystal clear & so beautiful !

Our e experience was absolutely phenomenal. Captain Kevin was able to find the dolphins quickly, we swam near them but were cautioned to respect their space. The captain had a healthy appreciation a d respect for the wildlife. After we went to the island to swim and relax. It was a fantastic day, and I was only sad to see it end.

This was the highlight of our Florida trip! Kevin was very knowledgeable and friendly, and we had a wonderful time. We just wish we had enough time to go back out on another trip!

Kevin was great and very knowledgeable about the area and the dolphins. He tried very hard to make sure we saw dolphins and had fun at shell island, he made our trip extremely enjoyable. Would definitely recommend.

We always do a dolphin tour now as part of our vacation and this was by far the best one yet!! Captain Kevin was so personable and knowledgeable about the dolphins and the surroundings. He Made sure we seen some dolphins. We even got to see one that was a “jumper” that showed off for everyone and put on a lil show! Everyone had the opportunity to jump in and swim with the dolphins but no one did. Then we went over shelling/snorkeling. My son and his gf loved it! It was a small boat (only held 6) which made it more personable and relaxing! Would recommend to anyone!!

What an awesome experience!! I cannot say enough about the service and staff! We had Meghan as our server she was awesome! It's a very well oiled machine!...
