Sunset/Snorkel excirsion - We had a wonderful sunset/snorkel tour with Captain Sierra! The place she took us to snorkel was awesome and the area we went for the sunset was magical! Captain Sierra also told us all about our findings while snorkeling! Thanks for another awesome excursion with Flippin Awesome Adventures!

Hands Down Best boat tour I've ever done , best part of our trip - Captain Chris was fantastic. A genuine human being that brought out the best in our group. Not only did we just thoroughly enjoy the boat ride out to specific spots along the bay, but he gave us a marine tour of any critter we could find. He gave us tips for best safety practices in and out of the boat, showed us where to find the best seashells 🐚. Our tour also included history of the local area. I felt like this was so much more than we ever expected. Will be returning, for sure.

Unique and amazing family experience - Truly an amazing experience! How cool to be able to be on ocean with an ocean expert! Captain Chris was extremely knowledgeable and patient with all our kids questions. We saw lots of sea creatures and got to splash around a for a little bit. Make sure when you go to have an open mind becuase the ocean gives you what it has for the day! We didn’t see what we were expecting but we got more than expected! Worth every. Penny.

Media trips can go well! - Captain Chris was awesome! He showed us so many cool marine creatures and showed us how to look for them ourselves. He also got us so close to a big pod of dolphins and a sea turtle! Highly recommend.

The BEST ocean wildlife tour in Panama City - Captain Chris was such an amazing guide and we had the best afternoon of our entire time in Florida out on the boat with him! His passion for marine biology and deep knowledge of the wildlife helped us spot so many critters that we would have missed if it had just been us. We saw dolphins, green sea turtles, pelicans, crabs, sea stars, hundreds of fish and more! Bonus: He’s also hilarious and had such entertaining stories from all of his travels and past ocean experience. If you can only choose one tour to go on during your time in Panama City, make sure it’s this one.
