We had a wonderful experience on our dolphin tour. The crew did a wonderful job finding dolphins for us to view and providing us with lots of knowledge about the island. We recommend taking a tour when visiting AMI.
Tracy_C Wonderful dolphin tour for the whole family Viator review: Anna Maria Island Dolphin Sightseeing Adventure We had a wonderful experience on our dolphin tour. The crew did a wonderful job finding dolphins for us to view and providing us with lots of knowledge about the island. We recommend taking a tour when visiting AMI.
the entire boat was shaded, which was nice! there were 6 of us in my group and we each got our own bench to have great views the whole ride. we went in the middle of the day between thunderstorms and were still able to see ~10-12 dolphins! our guide jake was knowledgeable and kept us entertained the whole ride. recommended!
Thank you for the wonderful review, Claire! I'm so glad you and your group had such a great experience. It's great to hear the shaded boat, comfortable seating, and dolphin sightings made for a relaxing trip, even between the summer storms! Captain Jake will really appreciate your kind words.

This was a fun tour. With wildlife, you never know what experience you’re going to get. However, our guide was knowledgeable and the wildlife was on full display! We saw dolphins, many of which would come near the boat and jump in the boat’s wake. We also got lucky and spotted a sea turtle, bonnet head shark, another shark we couldn’t identify, and many fish. It was a great time for us and our three kids!
Thank you for the wonderful review! You're absolutely right, every trip is a little different because the wildlife is completely wild, and that's part of what makes each tour unique. It sounds like you had an incredible day on the water with dolphins surfing the wake, a sea turtle, bonnethead sharks, and plenty of other marine life. I'm especially glad your three kids had such a great time! Thank you for choosing Anna Maria Island Dolphin Tours. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome your family back aboard again soon! – Captain Ben Webb, Owner 🐬🐢🦈☀️

My trip got canceled due to not enough people signed up and so far they haven't refunded my money. I wouldn't recommend this company at all
Brenda, I'm sorry your trip was canceled and understand your frustration. Our Dolphin Sightseeing Adventure has a six-person minimum to operate, and this requirement is disclosed during the booking process. Unfortunately, your July 3 trip did not reach that minimum. I also wanted to mention that today is July 7, and because your reservation was made through a third party, refunds are processed by the third-party booking company and can take a few business days to appear. If you had called our office, we would have been happy to explain the process and answer any questions. We appreciate your understanding and hope you have a wonderful day. – Captain Ben Webb, Owner
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the area and we were able to see a ton of dolphins!!!!!!
Thank you for the great review, John! I'm so glad you enjoyed the trip and that you were able to see so many dolphins. There's nothing better than being surrounded by dolphins in their natural habitat. It's also wonderful to hear that your guide's knowledge of the area helped make the experience even more enjoyable. Thank you for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back on the water again soon! – Captain Ben Webb, Owner 🐬☀️🌴
