Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We saw dolphins! What more can you ask for :) the waves were too rough to snorkel where the dolphins were but that was ok - I was just excited to see them! Justin was a great guide and he took us to a nice spot where there were tons of sand dollars.we had a great time!

Did a tour with Chase. The tour was awesome, we got to see several dolphins, a sea turtle, jellyfish, and tarpons. Everybody we encountered here was great. Highly recommend doing a jet ski tour here with Chase

Our captain was awesome, he even showed us what a starfish burrow looked like and snagged it for us to take a picture with.....amazing day with the family and we will absolutely book again. The dolphins were great, the sand dollars were plentiful and the snorkeling was AMAZING.....

We ventured out for a 3 hour tour with Captain Jacob today. He was exceptionally friendly and accommodating to all of our requests. He was also fantastic with my little one and it was so nice to have an extra set of eyes on him when we’re all enjoying the water. My best advice is to go with the flow and see what you can see! We had an absolute blast. We saw (and swam with) a pair of friendly dolphins but there is so much more to see with 3 hours. (Sea urchin, sand dollars, Angel fish, sand sharks, sea turtles, snapper, etc.) This is our third year in a row booking with Flippers and each captain brings a unique perspective and experience. I can’t say enough great things about them. Thanks for the adventure, Captain Jacob!

Captains/guides Justin and Christo were great! Swam with dolphins and some of us got close enough to touch them. Saw sea turtles, snorkeling and dove for sand dollars and starfish. Explored a shipwreck and saw lots of cool fish. Great experience for young and old. Thanks again to Justin and Christo!

This was the best experience! Our boat driver Justin was awesome- interactive and was great with our 2 children, helping them find large seashells. My husband got in the water and so close to a dolphin! We saw turtles, sting rays, the time went by way too fast!! 5 stars and will be returning!!

The whole family had the time of our lives. Capt. Stan was the best tour guide ever! We recommend doing this and ask for him. We saw an array of marine life!! Great job Lagoon Pontoons!

Our family had an amazing time on the jet ski dolphin tour! Our guide Ethan was AWESOME!!!! I was a little nervous about the excursion, but Ethan explained everything very well and made sure everyone stayed safe. We were able to ride three people on one jet ski, My husband, our eight year old daughter, and myself. We all had the best time! We found sand dollars! We saw fish 🐠, jellyfish, sea turtles, and, of course, 🐬 DOLPHINS 🐬!!!! It was a magical experience, and we plan on doing it every time we come back to PCB! Hope y’all have as much fun as we did! Thanks Ethan and team!!!

We really enjoyed our dolphin tour. We were able to see the dolphins up close. Christian was our captain and he let us choose what we wanted to do. We had a wonderful time and would book again.

We had an amazing time doing the Swim with Dolphins tour with Stan. He went above and beyond to provide us with an amazing tour. We saw rays, turtles, sharks, and of course dolphins. He was so patient and kind with our four-year-old who got scared due to the goggles and didn't like jumping into the gulf. Stan went around the dolphin pod multiple times to make sure I had a great experience swimming with the dolphins. He personalized our tour to fit our needs and was so informative. I was really impressed with how calm he remained when a jet skier came in to the no wake zone too fast and he got him to stop after his waves knocked someone down and endangered a young family. The jet skier was rude and confrontational but Stan stayed calm. You can tell he really cares about this place and the safety of others. Kudos to Stan. I could not recommend this tour enough!

Do they do dolphin tours in december
Where's the best place to swim with dolphins in Panama Cit
If there are only two people going onto the boat tour, will a refund be dispersed if the tour is cancelled?
Im pretty sure I read somewhere that if they cancel your tour they will either refund or reschedule you.

Does this tour go to Shell Island? How many people can be on the boat tour?
Although the boat could fit more, the maximum is 6 people. Your captain is very flexible. He'll do whatever everyone wants to. We drove all around Shell Island, got out of the boat and had to walk through shallow water to reach the island. By the time we got there, we were limited on time. We did a 2 hr tour. I thought that would feel like a long time, but it went by SOOO quickly!
