Nice Trip Out on the Water! - We did the snorkel tour and had a good time! Justine and Jai were super nice and did a great job. We saw quite a few dolphins and then went to Shell Island for snorkeling. The weather wasn't the greatest...overcast...and there weren't a lot of fish to see while snorkeling (maybe the season?) but the boat ride and views and time in the water were worth the trip!!

Good Jibez Only is the ONLY selection! - We had such a great time with Captain Justine and Jamie! These ladies knew all the great places for snorkeling! Family orientation. Super personable, and great personalities. Don’t have your own gear, no problem. We needed to reschedule our snorkeling time. Captain Justine made rescheduling super easy.

Great snorkeling tour! - We agreed late in the week to take a boat tour, but most of the places didn't have room for a family of 10. Good Jibez had very few reviews, but we took a chance. It was great! The captains were fun and either knowledgeable or lucky because we saw quite a few turtles before snorkeling and a number of dolphins on the way back. Snorkeling was amazing as well! I've never seen so many sea creatures and being able to dive down and pick them up was really neat. Not only was it a good tour that created memories that will last my kids and I a lifetime, it felt good supporting local entrepreneurs. I'd definitely try out any other offerings they have in my next visit to the area.

Amazing Sunset Cruise Experience! - We had an incredible time on the Sunset Cruise with Good Jibez Only. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of amazing. The captain was fantastic, providing us with interesting insights about the area as we sailed along the beautiful St. Andrew Bay and Gulf of Mexico shoreline. She made sure we had the best possible experience, especially when it came to spotting sea life. One of the highlights of the trip was getting up close to the dolphins. Unlike other larger boats where the dolphins seem distant, we were able to get much closer, making it a much more intimate and special experience. The smaller group size added a personal touch, and the crew was friendly, knowledgeable, and really made the evening enjoyable. The sunset was absolutely breathtaking, and the entire cruise was perfectly timed to capture the beauty of the moment. We took some stunning photos that we’ll cherish forever. If you’re looking for a relaxing and memorable evening on the water, I highly recommend this cruise. It’s a perfect blend of natural beauty, wildlife excitement, and exceptional service. We will definitely book with Good Jibez Only again!

Great dolphin, sea turtle, and snorkeling tour - We loved the snorkeling tour with Good Jibez. The captain and crew got us the best views of dolphins and sea turtles. It was the first time snorkeling for our 18yo son and 20yo daughter. Our 18yo son said it was a lot better than he expected. So far, it's the best thing we've done in Panama City Beach. We're from KS, but we've snorkeled in The Dominican, The Bahamas, and Jamaica.

Easy breezy lemon squeezy /unforgetable moment - Such a wonderful experience and never forgetting ..swimming with the fish ..and exploring looking for shell and nothing guaranteed..its a treasure hunt ..the capt is very informative and tried so hard for every body to have a good time..and being a small group is actually better you have more wiggle room I wish her the best of luck ..to succeed on her dreams and passion of being a business owner
