  • 5Amazing Sunset Cruise with Wonderful Hosts!

    We had an amazing time on the Big Kahuna Sunset Dolphin Cruise! John and Alicia were absolutely wonderful. I got lost on the way there, and they patiently guided me by phone until I arrived. Although we didn’t get to see any dolphins, the beautiful sunset and relaxing cruise still made the experience well worth it. Our hosts were friendly, entertaining, and even gave us great recommendations for restaurants and nightlife in and around Panama City Beach for Marshall's Birthday. Their hospitality truly made the evening special. I highly recommend this cruise! Marshall and Claire

  • 5Fantastic experience - highly recommend

    My group of 7 recently enjoyed the Big Kahuna sunset cruise. There were about 20 guests all together on the boat. On arrival, we were immediately greeted by Captain Dave and deckhand Noah. They welcomed us and assisted us with our items to go in the cooler. They played a great variety of music and kept everyone entertained the whole time. It was the highlight of our trip. A great time was had by all.

    It was great! Got to see a lot of dolphins. BYOB was pretty cool and less expensive for sure. Would definitely book again!

  • 5Great boat....great time

    The Big Kahuna is an amazing boat that totally changes your image of a pontoon boat. Large bar and seating in the middle of the boat promotes the party atmosphere. Great sound system. Captain John designed this boat to provide a great party environment that easily held our party of 10. This is a must do if you want to get on the water, see some dolphins and experience a sunset.
