How did you discover this activity?

We found TripShock on Google when we searched for fun things to do in PCB. We always wanted to go on a dolphin tour. This cruise was amazing

When did you book your tour compared to the departure date?

We booked one day before we went on the Sunset dolphin cruise. It was so easy and we had got a great deal

Why did you choose this activity?

We have always wanted to go on a dolphin cruise but some of the other cruises were really expensive anywhere between $60 a person to $200 a person. But it’s a person. We found this one on the trip shock for $20 a person

How did you get to the activity location?

Getting to the Marina was very easy. It was just a 15-minute car ride from where we’re staying in Panama City

What was your experience with the activity’s staff?

The captain and staff made the cruise enjoyable. He told us about places we were saying as we were passing to go where the dolphins were he gave us a history lesson. They also passed out Cheetos so we could feed the seagulls that were circling about which was really cool cause we never got to do that before. Then at the end of the cruise he let all the kids come up and steer the boat he would tell him what they need to do and they would just do it and listen and we were able to take pictures and videos of kids.

Highlights or memories you and your group will take from the trip?

It was a great time doing something as a family that we’ve always wanted to do and it’s a memory that we’ll have for a lifetime. We saw about 20 dolphins and we had no idea that they usually go in pairs. It was fun looking all over the boat trying to figure out where the dolphins wear so you would want from one side of the boat to the other to the front trying to Chase the dolphins. We have such an amazing time. The best part was seeing my 11-year-old son’s face every time he saw a dolphin he was full of amazement but the best part of it all for him was being able to drive the ship at the end and then getting his picture with the captain.
