Dolphins Tour with Family 2026

The Captain and the young girl who was his helper made the trip fun and informative. They were both very friendly and gave great info on the dolphins. Captain brought out a hula hoop for my granddaughters to play with. It was very enjoyable and saw several dolphins and a tarpon.

This was an awesome trip!...

This was an awesome trip! I loved that there were mermaid water and pirate punch for the kids. We seen a lot of dolphins. The captain and co captain were so friendly! They answered every questioned every one had and were well informed about the wild life etc. There was plenty of room on the boat and a cute small variety of snacks available which I like because I wasnt over whelmed with my kids wanting a ton of snacks. And it was a very affordable trip! I LOVED THE ENTIRE EXPERIENCE
