Captain Alex and his lil deck hand Grey was amazing. They were both very knowledgeable about everything and they made sure we had a great time and stayed safe. Alex was very down to earth and easy to talk too. He made sure we got to see the dolphins and got a butt ton of shells and sand dollars. If you’re looking for a laid back dolphin and shell finding tour, he is definitely the one to pick. We will definitely use him again, maybe on this trip. Those 2 guys were AMAZING!!!
It was so great. Cap Alex was such a personality and really cared about our safety and maximizing our experience! Will 100% be doing this again every trip! Thank you Alex for making it so cool.
We had a blast! There was plenty of room on the boat and Capt. Rob was very knowledgable. We plan on booking again
Captain Rob was fantastic. He knew all the best spots and helped us find some great places to snorkel. He was a great captain and we look forward to taking another tour with him the next time we come back!
Found a group of dolphins right away and followed up with snorkeling at shell island after. Definitely a great experience.
Rob was great! He knew exactly where to go to see the dolphins and also find sand dollars! I would recommend this to anyone!!
We had an AWESOME time with Capt Rob and his deckhand. They are very knowledgeable and accommodating. They found dolphins easily and also helped us find sand dollars at Shell island. We asked for more boat time and were able to ride 10' waves in the gulf. We will definitely ride with them again!!
Scott was a great captain who made this trip so enjoyable. His k college of the area during the tour was only outdone by his knowledge of navigating the big waves in the gulf. This was a fantastic way to spend an evening. Scott made sure there were multiple opportunities to swim with the dolphins. Definitely will do it again next time we are in PCB.
Well it would've been great but a tropical depression ruined our plans. Capt Rob TRIED to take us out but once we approached the island mother nature had other plans. We went back and tried to reschedule but unfortunately the 2 days we had left the weather was not good. The capt did try. We would book again if we came back.
We had a fantastic time on this 3-hour dolphin and snorkel tour! Captain Rob was friendly, welcoming, and made everyone feel safe and comfortable from the moment we boarded. We were lucky enough to observe lots of dolphins in their natural habitat. It was so cool watching them swim and jump from the wake of the boat.
The snorkeling stop we saw tons of sand dollars, little fish and sea urchins. We were also able to just relax on the sand bar and enjoy some drinks in the water.
The boat was clean, well-maintained, and the entire excursion was organized but also customizable. It was the perfect mix of relaxation, sightseeing, and adventure. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun way to spend a few hours on the water.
Captain Ron was fantastic!! He made sure to ask what our family wanted from the trip, which for us was seeing dolphins and snorkeling. He delivered!!! Captain Ron really knows the waters and where to check out the best spots away from the crowds. We got to see an amazing show of dolphins and then we headed towards Shell Island and snorkeled away from the crowds. We got so many sand dollars, shells, and were able to see a lot of fish. Highly recommend!
Would definitely recommend. We had a great time swimming, snorkeling, looking for sand dollars and seeing the dolphins. Rob was a great captain!
Great experience, seen quite a few dolphins. super cool guy definitely recommend and will be doing this again next year!
Great time on the water with captain Rob. Boat was nice and he found us some dolphins to swim with. Highly recommend
Captain Rob was Entertaining and knowledgeable . Entire trip was very enjoyable. Ages 16-55 we all enjoyed the trip
Rob was so nice and really helpful. He was great about explaining things and was very patient with us. We loved it!
Super fun experience! Captain Rob was knowledgeable and tailored our trip to our wants. We had a great time!
We had an amazing time with Saltwater Safari PCB! Captain Rob was incredibly accommodating, knowledgeable, and entertaining from start to finish. He made sure everyone had a great experience with safety being up most important.
We saw lots of dolphins, and the snorkeling was fantastic—we found so many unique shells and treasures! Visiting Shell Island was absolutely beautiful, with crystal-clear water and stunning scenery.
This excursion was one of the highlights of our trip, and we would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting the area. We would give it a 10/10 and can’t wait to come back!
Capt Rob made this experience amazing, my kids loved him.. he was beyond friendly and we appreciate how hard he tried to make this an amazing experience. When we come back we will reach out and request him!
We showed up early and the captain offered to take us out early! He was extremely friendly and helpful. He helped us load our bags and took us out to find dolphins… and we found them within 20 minutes! We had plenty of time to snorkel and explore Shell Island. Captain Rob was extremely knowledgeable and even offered to swim up to the island and accompany us to the gulf side to take family pictures for us! Everything was perfect and we made the best family memories on this tour… and got great pictures to remember it by! Could not recommend this tour and Captain Rob more!!!
Absolutely the best trip ever! Guide was amazing and very kid friendly! He adjusted the tour to meet our needs and was amazing with the kids!
