Too short ‘cause I loved it! - We saw dolphins, jellies, rays and fast moving schools of tarpins! Dale, our guide, was a very nice guy with a keen eye for spotting the marine life. I could’ve stayed all day!

My first time in Panama City and this was a blast!! - Man had such an amazing time! My first time in Panama City and we got to go see wild dolphins! Dale was a great guide and had us laughing! We stopped at shell island and got some insane shells! This deserves a 10/10! You need to do this!

Experience of a life time! - Mr. Dale got us right next to the dolphins. We saw a sea turtle up close and snorkeled sea shell island where we found a few sand dollars. Mr. Dale was great! He answered all our questions and gave great directions to ensure we had the best experience. Highly recommend!!

Fun 🤩 - It was good however we were cut short because Dale our wonderful guide had to go pick up another family at another dock which cut our time short however I feel like he could’ve extended our time as we were cut short picking up the family..
I would also like to get in touch with the other family as I have a video of their son. I would love to get to them. I lost the email address.

Stressful experience - The ride itself was nice and we did see lots of dolphins, however the tour guide did not give us instructions and would yell at all the participants when something was not to his liking. He was rude and condescending made the excursion uncomfortable. I cant remember his name unfortunately but would never do this again or recommend it. What was meant to be fun, was stressful and uncomfortable.

Little disappointed - Mmmm, Captain was nice but a bit bossy at times. I didn't want to take it personally but my friends thought so too.
Weather wasn't the greatest but can't control that. Was under the impression we would be dropped off at shell island to walk/snorkel for a bit. That never happened. :(
