Captain Jaya was great and really knows her stuff. She maneuvered us into the calm gulf and out of the residual rough waters of the previous day's bad weather. She was very knowledgeable about the area overall, the wildlife, navigation and dolphin habits. Much to our delight, she had us in just the right spots to see no less than 25 dolphins, some in pairs and groups of three, happily breaching, as if they knew they were entertaining us. I highly recommend this tour,

Captain Justine did a great job making sure we saw dolphins. She also pointed out other points of interest like osprey nests, live bait stations that had juvenile pelicans, tarpon schooling and feeding. Very personable and child friendly. Well worth the trip!
We had a great time. We saw so many dolphins. Justine was a informative and pleasant guide. We loved the tour.
Loved the experience and the captain of the boat was very nice and sweet! Will definitely be booking with them again on our next trip!
Jaya was awesome and a great captain! We will go on another dolphin cruise with Good Jibez again the next time we visit.
Justine was amazing! Booked last minute and had a great time despite dropping my phone in the water. Captain took the time to go back and jump in the water with snorkel gear to find it. Very reasonably priced, saw plenty of sea life and weather was perfect. Drinks and snack were available on the ship for minimal costs and music selection was perfect for a family outing. We will definitely be back again for another trip! Selfie of Captain and I with phone after it was recovered included.
Was a great experience. Our captain Justine was AMAZING. Def will be returning to see the winter dolphins
Wonderful tour with my family. Saw lots of dolphins and sea turtles! The crew was very nice and knowledgeable
We had a great time on the dolphin sightseeing tour! We saw so many dolphins, which made the experience even better. Jaya, our boat captain, was great, very friendly, informative, and knowledgeable throughout the entire tour. She made the ride enjoyable while sharing interesting information along the way. Definitely a fun experience and I would recommend this tour to anyone looking for a great dolphin sightseeing trip.
The experience was great the two ladies that was operating the boat were amazing. We got to see a lot of dolphins
It was a very nice relaxing boat ride. We found lots of dolphins. Some were jumping and tail slapping. Very nice 1 1/2 hour ride. Both captains were great!
Excellent trip. Guides were very good.
Great last minute book! Ladies were super nice and knowledgeable. They had snacks for purchase & free water.
Jersey and Captain were great but I wished would have seen more dolphins. it wasn't ideal weather, so they were hiding. We had an infant otherwise i would have booked a different tour. They kept us safe and the young child enjoyed the ride. The captain was humurous.
The crew in the cabin was amazing. We got rained out, but it was worth every second. My granddaughter got to see dolphins for the firsttime me and My Son and my husband and his fiancé went and traded for the world. Thank you ladies.
Amazing experience ! Very friendly and attentive staff. They were also very informative. The best dolphin cruise I’ve been on so far ! Will go again !
Don’t hesitate, book the trip! Captain and crew were great! Fun was had by all, including our 6 and 3 year old! We saw lots of dolphins and a few turtles. Would absolutely book again and look at the other types of excursions they offer as well!
Nice your job. It feels almost semi private tour that you're on. Seen dolphins and sea turtles. They provided snacks and drinks at a reasonable price as well.
Had a wonderful blessed time, the captain of the boat was very experienced and informative about the area. Watched several dolphins swim and play in the ocean. My daughter and I laughed and shared this wonderful experience together ❤️ 💖 💕!!!
We had a wonderful time and saw many dolphins. The captain and crew were friendly and knowledgeable! We enjoyed it very much!!!
We had a really good time . We got to see the dolphins , we did y see a bunch if them because of the weather but it was still great . We also saw some turtles too ! The best part was when the dolphins started jumping up in front of the cargo boat that came through.
This was a great time. Our captains were fantastic. We got to see a lot of dolphins, a sting ray and a turtle.
We went on this tour during our first family vacation in several years. I have seven children between the ages of 8 and 22, so we were looking for something that all could enjoy. The captains were wonderful with our youngest two (girl power!) and were knowledgeable about the area and wildlife in the area. We had a great time all the way around, and will 100% be back when we return to town!
Excellent , both captain and first mate very knowledgeable!! Cap doesn’t stop until you’ve seen numerous sea life.
The two lady captains were great! They were very informative, fun and took us to great spots. We saw dolphins and even a sea turtle come up. Highly recommend!
This was such a fun experience, the crew was very helpful and knowledgeable. Would definitely do another tour with them again!
Great tour of the bay and gulf with amazing views and dolphins. The crew was friendly and knowledgeable about the area.
Dolphins were everywhere! The Captain was super friendly and a great person to be around. Would recommend to everyone!
Great experience and hospitality. Thank you
Our entire group had the best day! The crew was fantastic, there was a bar onboard, we saw lots of dolphins, and we enjoyed snorkeling and exploring shell island-it is beautiful.
The tour was great - so good to see the dolphins up close. Also the tour guides were very knowledgable about the dolphin and other wildlife in the area. A fun time - well worth it!
We had a good time. It was my boyfriend and I, and another couple, and it was very enjoyable with just the four of us. Definitely recommend !
We took the 4 o’clock dolphin tour and absolutely loved it! We saw too many dolphins to even count, which made the whole experience unforgettable. Jaya was an awesome captain—very knowledgeable, fun, and made sure everyone had a great time. Sophia was also fantastic and so friendly. The entire trip was smooth, exciting, and well organized. We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun and memorable time on the water!
Even with cloudy skies, this dolphin cruise exceeded expectations! We knew going in that dolphin sightings aren’t guaranteed, but we were lucky enough to see so many—it made the whole experience feel extra special. The real highlight, though, was the crew. Jaya and Sofia were absolutely outstanding—friendly, knowledgeable, and made the trip so fun and welcoming from start to finish. Highly recommend this cruise if you’re in the area… even on a cloudy day, it’s totally worth it! 🐬
Had an incredible time on our dolphin sighting and snorkeling excursion in Panama City Beach. The captain was knowledgeable, professional, and made the entire experience fun from start to finish. We saw multiple dolphins up close in their natural habitat, which was absolutely unforgettable!
Very experienced crew. It was too windy on our initial booking and we received a call to move to a better time. Ended up being a sunset cruise and was awesome!
This is a wonderful way to enjoy the Gulf and see a lot of dolphins in their natural habitat.
Excellent capital and first mate. It was a wonderful trip and we saw so many beautiful dolphins
Highly recommend! Saw so many dolphins -too many to count. Captain and crew were friendly and know a lot about the area. Very nice experience and worth the price.
The crew is extremely nice and well informed on the area. The boat itself is relaxing and you get a lot of nice views of dolphins and of the water itself!
Such a cute family adventure. Seen a lot of dolphins 🐬 and lucky enough to see sea turtles 🐢 thank you so much!
Family friendly boat tour. We saw lots of dolphins and a sea turtle. The captain and deckhand were very nice and knowledgeable of the area.
The feel was exclusive!!! The captain knew exactly where to go to get the full dolphin experience. The first mate was full of information. You’re not going to be let down. This is a must for all!!! Thank you
The crew was friendly and explained the areas beautifully
The operation was very organized and the ladies were friendly and fun. We ventured out even in the very windy conditions and were fortunate to spot many dolphins. It was beautiful and informative. I would recommend this excursion. The price was fair and accessible as well.
Very well managed, attentive staff. Nice boat Happy with the experience, would recommend Did get a little wet but not bad
We had a really wonderful trip today. Water was choppy but sun was shining and Cater and Katie were great. Very professional and navigated us to see loads of dolphins! We were surrounded it was amazing! Honestly one of the best value trips I have done in a long time! I would have booked another available slot later in the afternoon but we didn’t have time. I would highly recommend.
Very knowledgeable and nice tour guides
Our family had a great time on the tour, we were lucky and saw lots of dolphins.
