We had the best time. Captain Zack was so great! He made us feel right at home on his boat. Very family friendly. The dolphins weren’t out like we had expected. BUT we got to see a huge stingray! The snorkeling was more for the ocean life and not much so much shells. We found some hermit crabs, sea snails and tons of fish. We loved it so much. On the way back in to dock we ended up seeing some dolphins close to the dock. The water was amazingly clear. Captain Zack knew what he was doing for sure. We felt very safe with his boating skills! Thanks again for an amazing experience!
Fun, private boat ride

We had a fantastic experience! The boat was under maintenance so we were moved to a pontoon with Captain Ron and Captain Mike who let us know there was a rare tide/wind (I think) event happening and offered to take us a different day instead. We said we were ok with a little rocking and wanted to get to shell island more than we cared about dolphins. They were amazing about getting us out there on a great ride and we even saw some dolphins anyway! We spent about an hour on the gorgeous island and Ron was great to talk to, had very interesting stories to share when we asked him about being a diver. Would love to go out with these guys again!

Was worth every penny. If you are looking for a relaxing ride, this was it. Captain Zach was very knowledgeable about the area. He made us laugh and feel very welcome on the boat, he appreciated everyone. Almost feels like he would do it for free, just because he loves his job which was everything you want in a tour guide. I would give 10 stars if I could.
Great the driver was very good i really recommended.

Tour was awesome, CPT Zack was great and had a lot of knowledge of the area. Shell Island was beautiful and he knew where the dolphins were. There was a lot to pack in this tour with only two hours I wish we would of had more time but it was an awesome tour. I’m looking forward to doing it again on our next visit.
The best ride ever..

Captain Zach was super nice and knowledgeable about the area. This tour is a wonderful way to see many areas that can only be accessed by boat. My family loved the smaller size of the tour and the boat. We loved seeing the dolphins, the sunset and Shell Island. Highly recommend this tour if you want an experience tailored to your interests.
Best Experience Ever!!

We were in Panama city Beach for 24hrs to celebrate my husband's birthday. I booked this adventure and so glad I did. We we got on the 9:30am departure. It was only us, so it felt like a private tour. Captain Zach was very informative and a pleasure to chat with in general. We will be back with our family. Don't look at other deals similar to this. Book this one, you won't regret it. We went to the secret spot, no dolphins sightseeing but the entire trip was amazing. Nice music selection too. Cheers Captain Zach, keep up the amazing sails.
Great Family Get Away

Captain Zach was great!!!! Funny, personable, knowledgeable, conscientious and mindful of passengers. Saw two different groups of dolphins (shy day for them) and other amazing scenery. Clean, safe and comfortable boat. Maximum of 6 passengers per cruise…..we were only 3 so felt like we were on a private charter. We got the chance to ask lots of questions! Definitely recommend!!! You won’t be disappointed!!!! Thanks Captain Zach for a wonderful afternoon!!!
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
