Awesome trip!
Original booking was sold out but they placed us into another one and it was great! Captain Tom took us around and we saw several pods of dolphins and even a couple of turtles. Well worth it!

Best part of our vacation!
Captain Harry was hands down the best captain for this private dolphin tour. He was so patient and had such a calm demeanor. He knew so much about the landscape and had a lot of knowledge to share. He was able to get us up close to dolphins, jellyfish, and other sea life. This was such an amazing experience, we will be making this dolphin tour a yearly tradition.

Best sunset cruise
Captain Zach was the best! He took his time and we saw sea turtles and several dolphins. The sunset was beautiful too. If you are in PCB, you have to take a cruise with them.

2025 Unforgettable Vacay Memory searching for Flipper!
We had a great time. There were 5 of us (62,42, 13, 12, and 2) on a large pontoon boat. It was nice having a private tour looking for dolphins. We also stopped for a swim at shell island. I felt it was reasonable and we would go again! Thanks Capt. Tom for a wonderful vacation memory!

Dolphins and sunset views, Oh My!!!
We really enjoyed seeing dolphins cavorting in their natural environment in the scenic Panama City Bay Area. It was a great way to wrap up our vacation with our teenage daughter and her bff.

It wasn't what I expected
The boat drivers were very friendly, but they didn't deliver what they offered in the package I purchased. It seemed very expensive for what it was. It was just a ride with two quick stops and not much activity.

More than expected! Zach was amazing!
If you’re looking for a private dolphin watching experience combined with some local site-seeing, and a relaxing cruise in the Saint Andrew Bay, then 10/10 recommend this experience!! You can bring drinks on the boat, get a private experience with your group of friends or family and get to interact with a very knowledgeable and friendly skipper! We went out on a Tuesday at 2pm and got to see 30 or so dolphins. Zach gave us awesome background, pointing out the US Naval base and the houses of famous people! Zach was incredible!! He was super friendly, knowledgable and personal. Just be careful booking on Viator because the waiver did not come through email and we had to show up 15 minutes early to ensure that was taken care of.

Captain Brittany was the best!
We had the best time with Captain Brittany! She was absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond for us on our tour. It was our last day on our trip and made it our best day. Highly recommend her she was the best.
