We saw SO MANY DOLPHINS! I have booked twice now. Captain Chris is a great host for girls trips! Super accommodating for whatever you wanna do that day. We decided to search for dolphins and we wanted to enjoy the boat with a few drinks. Captain Chris took us to a spot where we saw about 15 dolphins in one spot. It was such a sight to see. He's a great Captain and you can tell he has been boating for some time. Even after a few drinks, I felt safe and secure! I will book with Flippin Awesome Adventures every time I come down.

Went out on the boat with family today. It was educational thanks to our captain Chris. He showed us turtles, learned about sea urchins, fish, ducks and so much more thanks to our very own marine biologist. We had such a great day on the water.! Highly recommended!

5☆ PLUS!! We had an awesome time with Capt. Chris!!!! He is so knowledgeable and has a heart and passion for what he does. You can tell it's not "a job" for him. It is his life and he loves to share it with others. Definitely a MUST DO EVERYTIME you visit. I can't wait to come back with the entire family. We saw dolphins, turtles, and it was super great to get to see upclose crabs, Scallops, seastars, snail, and more. It was the highlight of our trip. Don't hesitate, book it!

Came to Panama City for a long weekend girls trip and we went on a fantastic tour with Captain Chris. I can’t say enough about how much fun we had. Chris is passionate, funny, knowledgeable….I could go on and on. Do yourself a favor….if you are planning a trip to Panama City, book a tour with Flippin’ Awesome Adventures. You will not be disappointed. I will definitely go again on my next trip to PC. Thank you, Captain Chris!

This is my second trip with Captain Chris, and I’d book with him again and again! (Well, I definitely will!) My first trip was with a few business colleagues travel bloggers, and they were fascinated. This second trip was with lifelong girlfriends, and it couldn’t have been better. Thank goodness for Captain Chris; he’s entertaining, educational, and patient! You’ll not find anyone more in love with their job than Chris.
