Dale was great and we saw a ton of dolphins! He even took us to Shell Island upon request! Next time I’m in Panama City I will be returning to do this again.

Our guide’s name was Dale. He was fantastic. He made sure we found the group of beautiful dolphins. It was a memorable experience. A wonderful time spent on the water with a confident, experienced guide.

Dale, our guide, was phenomenal. Several times he put us right on top of the dolphins as they swam by. We will definitely do this again.

The dolphins were everywhere! We did get the opportunity to swim with dolphins! The weather was beautiful for early May and the water was unexpectedly warm at Shell Island. Great tour guide too.

This was my first time on a boat in the ocean. Our captain/guide was cool and laid back. He had lots of experience, stories, and helped me feel more comfortable. He took us sightseeing near shore and showed us a shipwreck under the water we snorkeled to. My family, friends, and I had a great time. We enjoyed the boat ride and saw several pods of dolphins! We went out to the Gulf and some of the waves were scary so we didn’t get in the water. There were a lot of other boats and dolphin tours going on which I didn’t think about until after but we were able to kind of stay away enough to have room to swim. So be prepared for that, if swimming near large boats make you nervous. We went over by shell island and saw plenty more where the water was calmer and we were more confident getting in. Swimming with them was such a cool experience. They swam inches away from us! At one point one of the dolphins was jumping out and flipping over like it was showing off for the camera. I got some incredible pictures and videos. We looked for rays but didn’t see any this time, just ended up seeing Pelicans and a few big fish as well. Overall a great experience, we were all smiles and left thrilled. Definitely wear the life jackets, it will save you time when you see the dolphins. That way you’re already ready and can follow instructions to jump in right away. I didn’t and i regretted having to fumble with the buckles before jumping in. Also snorkel gear was provided but it was a little weathered, if you have your own gear I suggest bringing your own for comfort.

Captain D made this experience very memorable with a quick pit stop to a sunken boat before heading to shell island where we dove in close and personal with atleast 10 dolphins as they fed on other wildlife. It’s everything you would expect x5!

Very neat experience! Dale was super helpful and friendly! He took us to a nice bay and we were able to jump in, swim and snorkel with the dolphins! Also went to Shell Island and jumped in for a bit! The most amazing part was hearing the dolphins sonar under water! Must go! Thanks Dale! Mandy and Brett Hammett
