Shell Island Snorkel And Dolphin Sightseeing

Our guide Bryce did a great job. He was fun and knowledgeable. Was excellent for our two kids. Definitely recommend.

Thomas was our guide and he was excellent! Very informative and even took us a couple different places to find shells. He also took us to find dolphins in the beginning and end of the tour. He made the whole experience great and very personable. We would definitely book again and request Thomas as our guide!

Bryce was kind enough to wait while we were stuck in traffic. Our whole family had an amazing time. So grateful for this experience

Great time for the whole family. Would go again any time of year.

It was very fun and worth the money. It was the perfect amount of time spent doing each activity. We would definitely do it again, the hosts kept the energy up and made things exciting.

Bryce, our guide was very informative and funny. His assistant was also very nice and helpful. Highly recommend the dolphin and snorkel adventure! Shell island is beautiful!

We had such a great time! Captain was amazing and made it really fun for all of us. Very safe and cautious on the big waves made us all comfortable! Thank you!

Hunter and Bryce were great! We had a full boat 18 plus a baby and everyone had a good time! We seen dolphins several times!! They even helped out with the baby so I could swim too!! Which was truly above and beyond! Hunter swam out and got us sand dollars and awesome shells. 11/10 would do it again!

Captain Jon was a great host and captain on our boat ride. Highly recommend him. Snorkeling and dolphins sightings were fun as well

We were given options of what we would like to see, big fish or smaller things through grass we could touch. We chose the big fish and Hunter even came in the water with us to make sure we found the most species of marine life. He helped my daughter find and hold shells. Tons of room for our group of 11 and 2 others. Hunter and William interacted with us. Made sure to talk with everyone and even offered karaoke along with great music. We saw dolphins playing and a manta ray jump out of the water. My whole family had a great time and would definitely do this trip with Hunter and William again. If you want fun facts about dolphins, guides who will jump in the water to show you the best snorkeling locations, and very family fun friendly guides I 100% recommend Hunter and William at the salty fin dolphin and snorkel.

Great first time Shell Island experience with Thomas the captain with a few wonderful dolphin sightings.

So fun! Great value. Great day! We saw dolphins and the snorkeling was Amazing!!

Great experience. Very family friendly and super fun for all !!! Even for the small kiddos.

Great experience. Captain did a great job. Saw dolphins and several different fish and a large ray snorkeling

Nice experience! Boat driver was fun! Saw many dolphins! Signup was easy. The swimming area near the island was very nice! Fairly easy to get on and off the pontoon boat and into the water!

This was the best thing we did the whole trip.

Very fun, chill atmosphere even did some karaoke!!! We got to see some dolphins too!!

Lots of fun. The guides were very entertaining!!! Lots of aquatic life.

Even split between snorkeling and dolphin sightseeing. The dolphin area was great! We saw dozens of dolphins when we went! We went at sunset and they timed the events so we could watch the dolphins at sunset.

A truly amazing experience!! Bryce was awesome! Pick the BEST pick SALTY FINS TOURS!!!’n

Our guide Thomas was great! His boat experience made me feel safe even on the rough waters and great knowledge of all the sea creatures we found.

Brice was amazing! Booked a private tour and Brice took my oldest out further to snorkel, so I could stay with my 5 yr old.

It was a great time. He was very talkative and very cool. He made sure to include everyone and all the groups.

Awesome experience! Clean and comfortable trip - the tour operators were very friendly and easy going. Better than other boat tours I have been on because you actually get to go in the water!! We were brought near shore in a not so deep area off Shell Island. Got to see dolphins that day too! Definitely worth it- they did karaoke on the boat too for those who wanted to participate :). Book it!

Absolutely incredible! We booked last minute and were able to get a family of 4 on in the afternoon! The crew was incredible with the 4 young babies on the boat. The boat looked new and it was a great size! The price was unbeatable especially for the experience. We saw dolphins, got to snorkel and walk on shore for a while. We did a 2 hour tour and it was the perfect timing to see and do everything we wanted to and didn’t over do it with the kiddos. The crew was very chill and professional, didn’t feel pressured or judged.

This was awesome so much fun. The boat captain and his mate were great made it a real fun experience!

A super fun trip! The boat tour guide kept the energy up and also kept everyone comfortable! i would 10/10 recommend!

Crew was great and made the trip very fun! Check in was easy! I recommend booking through them directly! The 3rd party site did not send my reservation to them but they took great care of me.

Awesome experience! Had a wonderful time and the Captain was awesome! A++ Experience.

It was a great experience! our instructors were great too! Would recommend Preston and his crew very fun and friendly! They’re ready to give you the best experience you can get and want you to have fun!

We had a blast. The 2 gentlemen that took us out were wonderful. They kept it entertaining and even did some karaoke at the end ! Really enjoyed it

Very disappointing experience. The service was slow, the staff seemed uninterested in helping, and the quality didn’t match the price. I expected much better based on the reviews. Unfortunately, I won’t be returning or recommending this place.

A great little tour with a great captain and mate. The trip was fun for all ages and I recommend highly! It is good value for the money and well worth taking a few hours away from the beach.

Captain Thomas and his crew were amazing! We had so much fun and they were so chill and laidback. Definitely recommend!

It's great. Our Captain was great. His Captain was great. They were very knowledgeable of what they were doing.

The captains are great, super friendly, good with kids. We had a great experience and we got to see a few dolphins and a turtle up close, we saw sand dollars, crabs, shells, and sea orchins while we were snorkeling.

Had a great time me and my little sister had a ball the two guys who took us were the sweetest and really funny the younger one got back into the water and got everyone a sand dollar witch was really cool! The captain had karaoke for everyone to do on the way back so we weren’t bored honestly 10/10 rating!!

It was great, the captain and first mate was amazing. They made the experience so much better! We would definitely do it again.

Very fun experience! Helpful staff that ensure safety while allowing opportunities to learn about the area as well. Extremely friendly, even had karaoke on the boat! Overall, great experience and would definitely do it again!

We come ro PCB every year, and always do a Dolphin/Snorkel cruise. We also always have a great time, but this was the best ever. The guys really did a fantastic job! We will see you again next year! If we could rate higher, we definitely would.

The captain and deck hand were very knowledgeable about the area and were very friendly. We saw several dolphins and a sea turtle on the way to the island.

Fun experience 10/10 recommend. It was a fun time with my family. The kids loved it! The dolphins were up close

It was sooo funn. My family enjoyed it a ton. We saw a rare kind of dolphin jumps and the crew was rlly nice.

Preston and the Captain were amazing. It was fun and memorable experience especially for my kids

So much fun! We saw dolphins and got to snorkel in shell island. Our captain was great & made the whole trip amazing

This was great we will make this an annual thing to do when we’re on vacation. We’ve been to Panama so many times but this was my son’s most favorite thing we have done ever out of all the times we’ve visited.

By far one of the highlights of mine and my daughter’s trip. Our guide Bryce and his deckhand William were both professional and full of knowledge and was always willing to jump in and take pictures if you needed them to. They made the trip out to Shell Island fun and exciting as well as made sure everything was very family friendly for all ages young and old. They was always quick to point out dolphins that we would had missed with our own eyes as well as multiple different facts if information about the different wild life and history that was in the area. Bryce also gave out great recommendations for places to eat and other things to do around the area. The dolphin siting was great, even though they was a little shy at the time we went, and the snorkeling area was beautiful, but probably one of the best things about our voyage with Captain Bryce and William was their kindness and getting all the kids on the boat involved in a little “pirate attack” with water guns on one of their fellow boats. We could have not asked for better guides. I definitely rate 100 out of 10 to recommend and we will definitely be adding this to our MUST do list every time we come back to Panama City Beach. This both trip with Salty Fins and my daughter’s softball team winning the Grandslam World Series made this trip to PCB by far one of our best trips anywhere we have ever been! Thank you for such a great time Bryce and William, you two made the end of our trip to PCB the best ending we could had asked for before having to make the long journey back home to Arkansas!

We had a great experience! The team was wonderful! They did everything to ensure we had a great time. It was fun!

Amazing, everyone should try it. The weather pefect. The guy who run the boat amazing. Thank you so much
