Over the years, I’ve done the same sense dolphin encouraged several times that this year was without a doubt the best!

It was the highlight of our trip. The weather was perfect & we saw many dolphins, some were part of large pods. We got very close to some of the dolphins. The kids loved feeding Cheetos to the birds, too. And Capt. John was great. He was so good with the kids, funny & entertaining. We are already making plans to return to Capt. Anderson for our next adventure!

Worth every penny!

Yes my family of Four are traveling From Dallas Texas and we always enjoy taking a Dolphin Tour the water was a little rough no one can control the weather but it was one of our best Dolphins Tour because it felt so good with the wind. We got to see the sunset go down and few Dolphins

Great Dolphin Tour

Fantastic boat trip! The ride was smooth and enjoyable, but the highlight was definitely the crew. They were excellent and went above and beyond to take care of us. We had a wonderful time and would definitely book with them again.

Highly Recommended Boat Tour.

Very good experience. The captain was so nice and good with the kids!

We loved our time with Captain Anderson!

So thankful that we booked this Dolphin/Sunset cruise.  We were not disappointed in the number of dolphin sightings, and the sunset was breathtaking.  Loved how the seagulls ate right out of our hands.  The captain and crew provided a great sailing experience. We are thankful to have participated in this.

Great Way To End ThecDay

Very generous staff and Captain. Go beyond my expectations. 

Amazing Experience

What an amazing adventure!! The BEST dolphin excursion that I have ever experienced.

It was a great experience to ride on a boat with my family and daughters best friend for her birthday! We saw dolphins and even a sea turtle! We were able to take drinks and subway sandwiches along with chips and fruit, we could enjoy close to shell island where we picked shells and saw hermit crabs! We would definitely do it again :)

Wonderful experience for my daughters birthday!

The captain, Dennis, was very nice and made sure we saw as many dolphins as possible. He gave us some history and taught us a lot about dolphins we didn’t know. The one and only down side to this experience was how the customer service handled the situation the morning of our experience. They texted me 30 min prior to tell me the trip would have to be cancelled or rescheduled due to not having at least 3 people on board. I begged and pleaded since it was a surprise for my best friend’s birthday. I finally had to pay for a 3rd party to be able to go then they still couldn’t go on time because the captain “needed 24 hours notice”, yet customers only need 30 minutes? Found that entire situation highly unprofessional. Either way, we made it on and saw many dolphins and took lots of photos and videos and had a private tour for two at the cost of three.

Great experience

I loved it Captain Josh was extremely patient and kind and answering all of our questions the whole experience was amazing and I will forever choose trip shock.com to book my beach Adventures from now on and I will be making a trip down to Panama at least twice a year because of the amazing experience that I had this time thank you all so much

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.

Excellent experience

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!

Great experience!

Super Nice

It was a great experience, amazing captain and crew. The bartenders do need a better blender for frozen drinks, the cheap blender leaves ice chucks in the drink

The crew was great and live music very enjoyable! Saw lots of dolphins in the beginning but hardly any the last 40 minutes or so.

Enjoyable!

Our snorkel and dolphin excursion was absolutely wonderful. Chelsea and Kelly did a wonderful job. They make a pretty sweet team and the whole family enjoyed the trip to shell island. Seeing dolphins jumping out of the water was the best part.

Capt Josh was friendly and helpful, he took us out despite bad weather and we hung in there through a storm that blew through, it was not pleasant but worth it!!  We got to spend our time after that swimming with dolphins and manatees! He found shells and sand dollars for my daughters at Shell Island and entertained the kids.   It was such an incredible experience, highly recommend!

We actually did not get to ride the Ohana sailboat, as not enough people signed up for the tour. Because of that, the company offered to rebook us to the Privateer catamaran sunset and dolphin sightseeing tour instead since it was our last night there. Whereas the Privateer tour was just fine, and we still enjoyed it, we would’ve preferred to have had the more intimate setting that we had originally booked.

Rebooked Tour

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.

Whether this is your first time in Panama City Beach or you're back for more, this is your opportunity to truly appreciate the area's beauty. This Snorkel, Swim & Dolphin Sail on the Ohana Sailboat is the perfect choice to relax, kick back, collect shells and discover magnificent marine life in its natural habitat. Swim in the shimmering, turquoise waters of Shell Island, the Gulf of Mexico and St. Andrew Bay. Perfect for all ages, this snorkel, swim, and dolphin sail will be a trip to remember! Reserve your spot today!
