Swimming with dolphins - It was a cool trip. At one point a dolphin made two circles around us in the water. My son got to touch it as it swam around. Be sure to wear life jackets. The waves were big and doesn't take long to wear you out even for good swimmers.

2 hour dolphins tour - The tour was small, only 6 people total. We saw a bunch of dolphins and my husband got in the water with them. The water was really choppy the day of our cruise so I opted to stay on the boat. My husband said it was an amazing experience. We then went to where we were able to swim for a bit. The tour was two hours total and worth the money. Hoping to do it again if we ever make it back there.

Most Memorable Part of Our Vacation - 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.

Minnesotans enjoyed our time on the water in PCB with Dale as our guide. Thank You - 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.

Off the charts!!! - 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.

Great day! - 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.
