I highly recommend the Coastal Sealife Dolphin and Shelling cruise. We saw dolphins, baby pelicans and a manatee! Savannah and Josh were excellent tour guides. We had a great time!
It was awesome our tour guide got us right on the dolphins it was a great experience. I would highly recommend using this company.
Very fun and informative!! We saw dolphins and they played in the wake of the boat. Capt Ty and Savanah were both great. The boat was in perfect condition and the shade was fantastic while being out on the water
The captain and first mate, a marine biologist, were excellent! Mother Nature determines what you will see. We were lucky enough to see several pods of dolphins, including a couple of very young dolphins that were playing and jumping out of the water. We didn’t see manatees this time, but it wasn’t for a lack of trying. We did see a ray splash the surface, a couple of fish that jumped out of the water, an osprey and her nest, and many other types of birds. It was a great cruise and we witnessed what nature is like in the Estero Bay Aquatic Preserve!
Easy ride through the chanel, almost always will spot a dolphin or a few. Charter captain was friendly and “first mate” was very knowledgable. We were able to see everything “promised” dolphin, manatee a a spotted ray. Complimentary water and soda for sale, on the boat.
The dolphin cruise was so fun and almost relaxing as well to look out at the water and see the wildlife. We saw tonssss of dolphins and got great pictures/videos. They are wildlife friendly so they do not feed/ train/ mess with the dolphins in anyway which was very refreshing to hear. The tour guides were also veryyyyy knowledgeable about not only the wildlife but the eco system and had tons of fun facts and info. There was a bathroom on board, and it was plenty of time to see the wildlife (at least it was for us, they said we saw more than usual!) you also can bring any drinks aboard including alcohol before the ride. They have a trash on board and the bait is a nice size. The two tour guides were also super friendly. I recommend leaving a tip!!!! Would define book again. I will add a photo but just know there were wayyyy more dolphins we saw just took more videos and they don’t allow videos on here.
Thank you for leaving feedback and I’m so happy you enjoyed the tour!
It was a good cruise. We didn’t see many dolphins but one mom and her young did swim up fairly close to the boat. This dolphin is well known to the naturalist on board and we learned much about her habits and behaviors. We went through the rookery where Frigate birds, Brown Pelicans and Ospreys were abundant.
Thank you! Sorry we couldn’t find more dolphin on this trip. Some days are like that and our guides do their best to locate them. But I’m happy you enjoyed the overall ecosystem. 🌸
This was a great experience! The crew was great and very friendly! We saw so much dolphins, manatees and sting rays!! Such a fun trip!
We had a great time. We saw lots of dolphins, birds and other wildlife. Savannah was extremely knowledgeable and the captain was great too!! A great experience.
This was a wonderful family activity where we learned about dolphins, manatees and the area in general. Savannah was very informative and willing to answer any questions. Spacious on the boat so we could easily move around to see the dolphins.
