Amazing trip! I had a blast! The trip itself is amazing and you always see something new. If you have any questions just ask Capt. Chris and he’ll get an answer. Had an amazing time and definitely doing it again.

Thank you for the kind words! We’re so happy you enjoyed your time snorkeling and exploring Shell Island with Captain Chris. Seeing wild dolphins in their natural habitat never gets old for us either.

We had an amazing time out today with Captain Chris! He was so knowledgable and also funny as well as a patient teacher and made our girls trip was so much fun! We saw dolphins, got experience a “critter corner” and learn about urchins, sea stars, crabs and more plus got to snorkel and find some goodies ourselves. Great day and I absolutely recommend if you’re anywhere near PCB to try them out! You won’t be dissapointed!

Thank you ladies for coming out with us! We absolutely loved being part of your Panama City Beach girls trip. Dolphins, sunshine, Shell Island, and good laughs always make for the perfect day on the water.

We just got back from a 3-hr trip and had the best time with Capt Chris. Our toddler was blown away by the sea stars and sea urchin he brought to the boat for us to see. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much for joining us! We love hearing when families say their kids had the highlight of their Panama City Beach vacation on our dolphin tour. Watching little ones get excited about dolphins, snorkeling, and marine life is one of the best parts of what we do.
