Amazing experience! The captain and crew were so friendly and gave us a great time! We saw some dolphins and a turtle! Definitely recommend!
Cpt. Casey and Peyton were awesome! We had a great time and would absolutely do it again! Highly recommend this tour.
We didnt have a good experience..first of all it was a dolphin sight seeing tour..We were told they have been seeing everyday so many dolphin..and there was NONE!! OH and Sea Turtles..There was none of those either..So next stop was Shell Island..where all the people were finding shells..Well no shells either..so that was another dud!! So it was so hot we decided to go sit on the boat until all the people came back on the boat..So on the way back, we seen no dolphins or sea turtles ..So the boat docked and we all got off..Our Captain tells us he contacted our shuttle driver and he was suppose to be on his way to get us..over 1 hour later..He still didn't show up to get us..We all were getting hot and thirsty..and tried calling the office for someone to come get us..Asked dnr for help..no one seemed to care we were left..Finally someone was able to get ahold of someone..and here the shuttle bus came with the sunset cruise people..shuttle bus guy..said he never received any message from the captain of the boat!! Who is lying to us here..We all were not happy..it was a waste of money and our time..Do not recommend this boat!!
We are so sorry to hear that you had a disappointing experience during your trip. However, we believe this review may have been posted to the wrong business page. Our Dolphin & Sightseeing Cruise does not stop at Shell Island, and we also do not provide a shuttle service, so the experience described here was not with our company. We completely understand your frustration and are very sorry that your trip did not go as expected. We kindly ask that you remove this review from our page and post it to the correct business so they have the opportunity to address your concerns. Thank you so much for understanding, and we truly hope the rest of your time in Panama City Beach was enjoyable!
