Fun and exciting! - We loved every minute of it! Our way back was really cold, but we did get in the water. The captain and his crew were amazing. Highly recommend. Ps/ take your own towels and if the weather is below 60, take blankets and coats. You can still swim but be prepared to be cold after.

National Geographic Experience - We had a fantastic time! Our boat ride was straight out of a national geographic. Only thing missing was David Attonborough, but not to fear we had an even better narrator, our captain Hunter! We got to see over 30 dolphins hunt a school of mullets alongside of 3 sharks and pelicans. Among the pod of dolphins were even some calves learning to hunt along side the adults! He also accommodated the tour to what we preferred to do which was stay on the water. Great time and would do it again!

MUST DO IN PCB ⛵️🐬☀️ - This was my second time with Island Time/ Shell Island Snorkel and Dolphin Cruise. They are really fantastic! Capt Cristo, Luke and Emma are so personable and interact with their guests. You can tell they truly want everyone to have an enjoyable trip. Good music and reasonably priced drinks and snacks are a bonus! I highly recommend this excursion for its value, the people and the quality of the cruise.

Awesome Shell Island Cruise! - It was a beautiful early November day for a Shell Island cruise. The boat was big and had lots of open seating. The drinks were tasty and the crew were the nicest people who took great care of everyone. It was fun and relaxing day. We did see dolphins too right at the start of the trip! Totally worth the cost! Will definitely be back!

Best, Panama City Beach experience ever - This is the best thing to do in Panama City Beach. Whether you're a single, couple or family. There is something for everyone. The catamaran is incredibly comfortable. We took some Dramamine just in case but there was definitely no need. Saw a number of dolphins on the way over including a mom and baby. The crew was amazing from Captain Heath, mate Carter and barkeep Emma. My husband was not able to enjoy the water activities and stayed on the boat and all of them made him feel special and welcomed. I enjoyed my walk over to the Gulf side of Shell Island. Found a couple of nice shells. Having always wanted to try stand-up paddle boarding. I gave it a shot even though it was a bit windy. Not only was it awesome I was able to stand up. It was a lovely sale back to the dock. We both decided this will be a part of every future trip to PCB. I think it is also one of the best value for money in this area.
