    Captain Chris and Captain Sierra have built something special here with their marine biology expertise and infectious enthusiasm. These aren't just boat rides around Panama City Beach - they're hands-on educational adventures where you'll handle sea creatures, learn about the local ecosystem, and likely spot dolphins, sea turtles, and other wildlife. Chris studied marine biology and it shows in how he brings creatures aboard for safe viewing and explains the marine environment. Reviewers consistently mention the captains' humor, patience with kids (even those on the autism spectrum or who typically struggle on boats), and ability to make the experience engaging for all ages. The trips typically include snorkeling, visits to Shell Island, and dolphin watching, with the ocean determining what you'll encounter each day. Families rave about this being a highlight of their entire Panama City Beach vacation, with teenagers actually having a blast. One helpful tip from experienced visitors: book a longer tour (4-5 hours instead of 2-3) because time flies when you're having this much fun. Bring snacks and come with an open mind about what nature will reveal.

    Cannot cannot cannot recommend Flippin Awesome Adventures enough - We had the most epic day because of how special and curated Captain Chris made our tour. We thought we’d just see dolphins and snorkel a bit in some gorgeous water (we did those things!), but oh man - we saw so so much more. Captain Chris takes you out and docks the boat to dive in himself, pull out the coolest sea critters and actually tells you all about them! We found out he studied marine biology so he did a whole show and tell. Then you keep going out, we saw a sea turtle, jelly fish, manatees and pods of dolphins. Snorkeled and ended at the island with the most beautiful water to wrap up. Truly a magical experience, but made all that much more by Chris’s energy and excitement the entire time. We will be booking again in about 2 weeks!
