Great tour with many dolphins.

Be there about 10 minutes early. The boat accommodates about 20 people - a pleasant group size. Cushioned benches and small onboard refreshments (for cash!). We already saw many dolphins in the bay; Kirsten (guide) and Jack (captain) had many great details about the animals ready. We also briefly cruised onto the Gulf, but due to the strong winds, we returned to the bay and were able to see the surroundings - many beautiful houses and idyllic small islands. A wonderful experience.

Dolphin Quest - a must do at John’s Pass

Today’s Dolphin Quest experience was the best we have had yet. We have been on it at least 10 times over the years and today was the most enjoyable largely due to Kirsten and Captain Jim. They were fun and very knowledgeable. We saw quite a few dolphins and the music playing was just loud enough to be enjoyable without being annoying or distracting. Very affordable drinks and snacks available. Highly recommend!!

Worth the money

Very professionally ran. Captain did a great job handling the boat and the other crew member was Dr. Dolphin. Couldn’t have asked for a better adventure.
