Why should you book with us and not with our competitors ?

  • We are the oldest and most experienced wild dolphin swim facility in Panama City (since 1995).
  • Unlike on our competitors boats, in addition to the captain, our boats have crew (between May 01 and August 31). By request, our specially trained staff will be on board and will get in the water with you and help you and/or your children with your experience.
  • Thanks to our collaboration with marine biologists and thanks to our experience with educational programs in the schools of Bay County and with various girl and boy scouts groups and church groups, we will actually educate you and your children on wild dolphins and their social life for a more enjoyable, more respectful and safer experience.
  • Unlike with our competitors tours, the owner of our company is also a boat captain and is actually on the water every day implementing the comprehensive programs.

  • The price includes dolphin swim excursions, animation, lectures and dolphin educational package, free bottled water on board.
