I think we got really lucky and had the perfect day. Calm water, a little overcast with pockets of sunshine so it wasn't too hot. We got to see dolphins with new babies, a manatee and a few sharks. Fantastic tour!
Thank you for the wonderful review, Livie! It sounds like you really did get one of those perfect Florida days on the water. Calm conditions, comfortable weather, dolphins with newborn calves, a manatee, and even a few sharks — that's a pretty incredible combination.

Our team had an amazing time in the dolphin sightseeing tour. Our experience with the staff from booking all way through the actual tour was seamless. There professionalism, service, friendliness, and knowledge made for an excellent excursion. They took us right to the dolphins! And boy did they put on a show! Almost as if they were hired to entertain us! My team thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely do it again!

Highly recommend!!!

Hats blow off and have the camera ready when the Captain stops. It was a great experience. Captain Bob was entertaining, knowledgeable but most of all humorous.

The boat company was very efficient and welcoming. Boat captain & crew were very helpful and knowledgeable and friendly. We saw dolphins swimming, jumping and playing. Learned about some dolphin habits and instincts. We went birding and enjoyed the entire trip.

Great ride w/Mike our Captain wished for more dolphins but there were a lot of boats out, very relaxing ride and the tour was well guided, Thanks Mike
Thank you for the great review, Deborah — and congratulations on your 45th anniversary! I’m so glad you had a relaxing and enjoyable ride with Captain Mike. You’re right, some days with more boat traffic can make the dolphins a little less active, but I’m glad you still had a great experience on the water. Mike will really appreciate your kind words.
