1Poor system and customer service
Very poor customer service from Viator. Operator no show. Says booking issue. Viator tries to blame weather after I spoke to operator. Shame on Viator agent for lying.
5The best day ever
Pack up the cooler, bring the sunscreen and get ready for fun and adventure. Captain Logan played the best jams and gave our family a wonderful experience. We seen dolphins, sea turtles and lots of fish.
1They double booked and I am having trouble getting a refund
They double booked we didn’t go out as they tried pushing us to the next day. They said they would refund my money but have not done so. I don’t recommend booking with Viator or the operator.
5Look for the pink boat!
There’s no place to check in, per se, so look for the pink boat! Logan and Kaden did a great job with the tour and are very knowledgeable with the area. It’s fun to have a private tour with stead of a group for a family. Highly recommend!
5Excellent snorkeling for the family!
We had a great experience seeing dolphins and exploring 2 snorkeling locations which each had fantastic sea life! Captain Logan ensured we had a great time and helped us find some incredible sea creatures! We would definitely recommend this experience!
5Awesome experience
One of kind experience.. it's a nice change of pace from the busy beaches.. Logan did everything he could to find us some dolphins and we had several swimming right up next to the boat.. he also took us to see some turtles which was a really cool experience.. we really wanted to swim with the dolphins but the water was just to murky at that time and it would of been hard to see anything in front of us otherwise I'm sure Logan would of made it happen.. overall everyone from mom and dad down to the 3 year old all had a blast.. we would def book this trip every year we are in pcb!

About Panama City Beach
Panama City Beach is a Florida Panhandle resort on the Gulf of Mexico, with white quartz sand, clear green water and state park dunes.
Panama City Beach stretches for about forty kilometres along the Gulf of Mexico in the Florida Panhandle, a resort strip of condominiums and beach houses fronting white sand that squeaks underfoot. The sand is fine quartz washed down from the Appalachian Mountains, and the Gulf is clear and emerald green. Pier Park is the shopping and entertainment centre of the strip.
