BEST EXCURSION EVER - 10000/10 experience. Got to see dolphins and cruise on a beautiful pontoon boat The crew was so accommodating and so fun! The best views of entire Panama City. Got to see Andrew’s State Park, and then took us to shell island, had a water slide off the boat, and then got to explore the entire island and go snorkeling. Amazing drinks as well. This is a MUST DO and worth every single penny for a 3 hour excursion.

Great time snorkeling and sailing with Island Time! - Sailed with Island Time on 8/16/25. Had an amazing time. Captain Cristo, Luke and Shane were all great! Very engaged with the passengers and Cristo shared much knowledge of the island and sea. He made extra efforts to get us up close and personal with dolphins. Had a blast snorkling and walking the white sands of shell island! There were paddle boards, snorkel gear and a slide for playing and the crew made sure the passengers were well entertained.

Just book it! - 10/10 would definitely recommend! The crew is amazing, they make you feel comfortable and keep it fun. They took us around and we saw a bunch of dolphins before they took us to the island. Plenty of time to see the tide pools, snorkel, or just search the beach for shells.
