Captain Stan was great. We had lots of opportunities to interact with the wild dolphins. Stopped in a cove so the kids could see the aquatic life neat the break waters. read more

This is the place to go for Pontoon rentals or Dolphin Tours! From the girls at the front desk who book the tours to the the guys who take you out on the boats, they are all extremely knowledgeable and helpful. We have come here a couple of times over the years and one thing that stays consistent is how friendly the staff is. This past trip we took out the Pontoon boats and didn't do the Dolphin Tour. They have upgraded and have new boats . . . they are AWESOME! We went out in the morning, which I always find to be the best time. There seems to be more marine life and the weather isn't so scorching in the morning. We hit up Shell Island before anyone else was out and there were stingrays and colorful fish swimming all around us. BRINGING A UNDERWATER CAMERA IS A MUST! You want to be able to take pictures of a the beautiful marine life but you especially want a camera incase you get to swim with a dolphin. If you are deciding between taking a Dolphin Tour or just taking out a Pontoon boat, their are a couple of things to consider. 1) With the Dolphin Tour you have a guide who will take you out to find dolphins. The guide captains the boat so you are able to kick back and relax a little more. Also, the guide is normally a local so if you are new to vacationing in Panama City they can usually tell you all the fun things to check out and great places to eat. 2) If you are comfortable driving the boat and Dolphins are less of a priority, then just rent the boat. I have rented pontoon boats every year with my family, for over 15 years, and 9/10 times we see dolphins on our own, but it is not a guarantee without a guide. When you rent a boat one of the guys will give you a map and help you outline your day. There are a couple of places you should hit up if you have kids; Shell Island and the place where you can find Sand Dollars. Pontooning has become a tradition on our summer vacation and this has become our place to go. read more

My fiancé and I were visiting PCB for the first time from the west coast. I had never even seen a dolphin outside of an aquarium before, so getting to see so many and to swim right alongside them was absolute magic.The price is a steal for what you get. Our tour guide Dave was incredible. He gave us great information about the area, history, and knew how to direct us to the best dolphin encounters. You can tell he really does love his job. So grateful for this opportunity and Dave! read more

Great job! read more

Awesome Captain and a fun time. Saw lots of dolphins on our dolphin tour (maybe 7?) and had fun snorkeling near Shell Island. They provided the snorkeling gear and the price was great. I can't wait to take my kids back next summer. We will be using this company again for sure. read more

Flippers Dolphin Tours - Looking for Dolphins - Jet Skis Near Me - Panama City, Florida

We rented a Pontoon from them to see shell island and the service and Pontoon was excellent. I called and was greated by a friendly voice who took our reservation. Upon arrival you can purchase ice, snorkeling gear and a few other items. The boat we received was fairly new and well worth the $180 for the whole days use. If you haven't never been to shell island it something you must do when in PCB read more

We had an awesome dolphin tour a few weeks ago! I spoke to Melissa on the phone and she was very friendly and informative. Mitch was our captain and he was great!! He was very knowledgeable about the area and definitely made the tour fun. It was overcast the day we went and it turned out great! We saw a ton of dolphins and tried repeatedly to get in and swim with them. We even anchored near an island to get out and swim. Overall a fabulous day and definitely worth the money paid! I would highly recommend this tour! Make sure to ask for Mitch as your captain! read more

Flippers Dolphin Tours - Jet Skis Near Me - Panama City, Florida

Seriously one of thebest experiences ever!!! Loganwas THE best guide!!! He was soooo accomodating and so down to earth-he really made this the experience of a lifetime! We wanted to spend more time with the dolphins than on the island and Logan was so accomodating about it all. He gave us a more time than the 2 hours intended for the tour. We had a fab time and would love come back. Worth the money. Hope they dont ever increase their prices because their rates is what made us consider them to begin with. Must must do-highly recommend! read more

Had an amazing time on our boat trip. It was a nice boat and the captain was very friendly (I'm horrible with names but I believe it was Clay) . The scenery was gorgeous and two hours was a great length of time. We went to a wonderful spot and snorkeled while looking for sand dollars. We will definitely go back next year on our next PCB trip! read more

Flippers Dolphin Tours - Jet Skis Near Me - Panama City, Florida

This was the highlight of our vacation to Panama City Beach! My husband and I have 6 & 7 year old girls and the squealed with excitement when we told them what we were doing for the day! We opted for a private boat tour with just us and the captain and he was very generous and patient with us and especially our daughters..he made sure we found Dolphins and gave us specific instructions when to jump in the water as they were coming towards us! We did this about 4 times and the Dolphins came right to us each time! My 6 year old had a baby dolphin come up to her and nudge her feet and hasn't stopped talking about yet. Once we finished our swim with the Dolphins captain took us to shell island dropped anchor and allowed us to explore the island and the girls could snorkel. I would recommend this to any one visiting with small kids!! read more

Captain Alex was amazing! He knew exactly where to take us and even spotted marine life other than dolphins for us. We got to see a lot of dolphins and he even helped us get in and swim with them. He also stopped and got us full sand dollars! I am very pleased with this experience and I would recommend Flippers and Captain Alex to anybody who is looking to take a dolphin tour. read more

First and foremost captain Dave was amazing !!! We had the entire boat to ourselves and he really knew the area and info about dolphins, fishing, etc. while the dolphins got close enough where I almost got to touch one it was beyond worth it. I was ready to get in the water at 60 degrees if the opportunity allowed! It was so fun to see these animals in the wild and just to see how beautiful the water and sun was . Made it all worthwhile. Book it and thank me later read more

This dolphin tour was by far the best thing we did during our stay in Panama City. Our guide, Alex, was top notch. We saw many dolphins and my daughter was within inches of touching one. We also saw sea turtles and picked up sea shells and sand dollars while snorkeling. As a handicap person, they went above and beyond to make it as easy for me as possible. I really, really appreciate that! HIGHLY recommend!!! A+++ read more

We had an amazing time this morning at Flippers and the dolphin tour. We swam with dolphins, snorkeled, saw starfish and oodles of sand dollars and collected a stash of shells! Tim and Clay were wonderful captains and it was worth every penny. Wish we had went for 4 hours! Booking was easy and check in too! Call early because they were sold out the rest of the day. read more

This was my favorite part of our vacation! Captain Alex and his daughter were great! It was our first time on a small boat and the ride was fun! We got to see 3 dolphins but the waters were pretty rough so we weren't able to jump in and try to swim with them. Some people don't even get that so I'm glad we were able to at least see them! Snorkeling on Shell Island was fun! We got to see a lot of different kinds of fish. Me being the underwater lover that I am, I had a great time and I will definitely try this again next time I come to PCB! read more

We had an awesome time - our tour guide Michael was fantastic! I would recommend in a heartbeat! Great time for the family! Well worth the money! read more

Very rude guide. This was my first time riding a jet ski so and the guy told me if you can't go fast enough I can't guide you. I told them before I rented that this is my first time and I might need little more time. But the guy was always yelling at us that I need to go fast. Not everyone rides jet ski for their living. And just because that sorry kid knows how to ride he thinks he is out of this world and treat other people like sh**. Not coming here back again. read more

Captain Alex worked to make sure we had an amazing experience. The dolphins were unforgettable and put on quite a show for us!

The best thing we done on our vacation, staff was great. Our tour captain was great answered all our questions and seemed to have great knowledge of the sea and its creatures read more

this was the best day of my vacation BY FAR. captain alex was so knowledgeable and knew exactly where to go to see and swim with dolphins and find shells and sand dollars. he made me and my dad feel comfortable and safe to get in the water with the dolphins and to find the sand dollars in the grass. he let us decide what we wanted to do and where we wanted to go, we even got to see a sea turtle! he found us sand dollars and a bunch of shells. the water is beautiful and perfect for snorkeling. the price is AMAZING for all that you get to do and see, i would highly recommend giving this a try! thank you captain alex!! read more

Amazing tour, amazing time! Riding out on the skis and seeing the dolphins was absolutely incredible. The tour guide was friendly as was the other employees. Will be the most remembered part of our trip! read more

First time in PCB. We took our two kids, 11 & 13. We were happy to meet our guide, Alex, who eased any mommy tension I was feeling! Both kids walked away claiming the best day ever. Melissa was helpful & professional and Alex simply made the day wonderful!! I hesitate to give away all of the surprises ~ but these guys delivered!! 5 stars!! read more

This place was fantastic! They were super helpful and we had a great time out on the water.

We just finished our shell island snorkel tour. It was so much fun! We had captain Tim and he was a real nice, down to earth guy. He took us close to pods of dolphins and asked if we wanted to jump out. My husband touched one! Then he took us by the rocks to snorkel and it was so interesting. It was only two hours but it felt like we were out there all day having fun. I highly recommend this place, definitely worth the money. Ps. Just realized I am on his Yelp account not mine read more

The jet ski tour was fantastic. Really enjoyed the jet skis, the sights, and our guide!!

Hands down by far the best boating excursions in PCB. We took 2 excursions back to back to fill our afternoon. My 5 and 10 yr old are sure to have this trip engrained in their minds forever. Captain Clay went above and beyond to find us huge shells, sea urchins to touch, sand dollars, clams (to hold) and he found a dolphin swimming solo that my daughter got in the water and came within a foot of. He was amazing! Captain Gordon (2nd trip) took us above an old shipwreck close to St Andrews where we could snorkel above it, let the kids help with the anchor, was very much a comedian and showed us some crab traps he had put down that morning full of crabs. Even though we didn't see a lot of dolphins we had the best day ever! Both captains were super knowledgeable and a lot of fun. I would highly recommend this trip to any and everyone. I cannot wait to do this again with my children, friends and family. read more

We are so glad we did this and will definitely be back next year! The dolphin and shell island tour was so much fun. We had five in our family, as young as 3 and as old as 63, and everyone had a great time. The staff at Flippers are extremely nice and our boat captain was knowledgeable, friendly, and really fun. Highly recommend this company! read more

Great customer service. We called and booked a jet ski dolphin tour for a family of four. The person who answered our call answered all our questions. When we arrived, we checked in quickly- got out vests, received brief but thorough instructions and were on our way. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. We had a blast. Saw over 25 dolphins, stopped at shell island and headed back. Great experience. I would highly recommend Flippers to everyone especially families. Great place, very friendly staff and new equipment. read more

Just got back from our dolphin tour on the pontoon boat. It was amazing!! My girlfriend loves dolphins and to see her light up every time she saw one was priceless! Our tour guide was Mitch and he was great!! Overall it was a great tour and we will definitely do it again the next time we vacation in PCB! read more

Our guide was Alex and he was very unprofessional and malicious with his approach. We were turned away because my friend who was riding the jet ski for first time wasnt able to catch up with his speed. The company advertised that they do guided tours for people with no experience but that isnt true. Our whole day in Panama city waiting for this stupid tour got ruined . read more

Great time. Chris our guide was awesome and put us on dolphins right away. My family had a great time

I took my family to PCB, and decided to rental a pontoon. Friendly ladies on the phone, answered all the questions that i had.. got a half day rental on the pontoon and only got 2 hrs of the jet ski . Overall service and equipment was excellent. Will do it again.. read more
