How did you discover this activity?

We found TripShock on Google when I was searching for “swimming with dolphins in the Panama City area.” My daughter wanted to swim with dolphins, and we were able to get a great deal!

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

We were able to book our tour about two days before we took it! They had many dates and times to choose from.

Why did you choose this activity?

My daughter has always wanted to swim with dolphins, and the chance to do it in the wild appealed to our family. Being able to snorkel on the same trip was a bonus.

How did you get to the activity location?

The directions to the marina were very easy, and it was only a short car ride from our condo.

What was your experience with the activity’s staff?

Captain Lea and First Mate Patrick were awesome. They were friendly and very knowledgeable about the area. Patrick even went snorkeling with us! He found some neat sea grass, and gave us a lot of information about the different fish we were seeing. They had bottled water for us, and great tunes on the boat ride.

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

The most memorable part of our trip was jumping in the Gulf with a pod of dolphins, and they swam right under us and beside us! You don’t always get to see dolphins up close in the wild, but we saw several groups. Captain Lee and Patrick were very knowledgeable about the dolphins, so we were able to learn some new things!

It was such a blessing to be able to see so many dolphins, as you don’t get always so lucky! And with the details from Captain Lee, our kids learned to appreciate the Gulf, our sea creatures, and so much more! The snorkeling was an added bonus; it was my first time and I absolutely loved it! I never understood why people went scuba diving, but after this trip, I definitely want to try that, as well. It was so fun and peaceful. Captain Lee provides the masks, and gave great tips to us.

Would you recommend this activity to another group like yours? Why or why not?

This is a great trip for friends, families, and couples, really, anyone would enjoy this trip!
