They don't give you proper directions on where the tour is and are very rude on the phone when asking.
This was an amazing experience! We were able to see a dolphin family, including a baby, in a private marina. Then we took a ride out to the open ocean and saw many more dolphins. My daughter got scared with the waves and Aliza, the guide, came to check on her. She was very sweet and knowledgeable. The Captain, Tim, was knowledgeable and gave us great information on the area, especially the homes. We also stopped at a sandbar where we were able to collect shells and see more marine life. We saw a mini/baby octopus, tiny baby shrimp, baby crabs, and more! The best dolphin watching experience I have had. The kids also got free ice cream!
I booked the sunset dolphin tour and showed up 20 minutes early to park and make sure we were there on time. We called and asked them where we should go because the lot was crowded and we had no idea where the actual location was. We couldn’t see any signs for the place and Apple Maps and Waze both had different locations. So we just went to the marina to look for parking and spend 15-20 minutes circling the marina parking. We called them again and were told to park in 30 minute parking because the cops won’t tow us there just ticket us. We called Viator to get a refund and were informed we were told to show up two hours early in an email from the operators. I checked my email and finally found it in my promotions which I had shrugged off thinking it was an ad from Viator. That’s a Gmail issue not the operators though. Viator kept me on the phone for over 30 minutes telling me I can’t get a refund until it was suddenly approved because I was adamant on speaking to a higher up staff member. Showing up 2 hours early for an hour and a half tour in the Florida heat and having to wait around for the tour to start seems extremely unreasonable. Also the fact that you don’t get informed about the awful traffic or parking situation until after booking, there is no warning on the listing, and the email goes to promotions if you use Gmail seems kind of shady. Book at your own risk, I’m sure the tour is fun, I wouldn’t know though, but everything before the tour was miserable.
It was a wonderful time, good information but also not overwhelming. The crew was very informative and it was a fun experience. Would reccomend.
Dear crew, This was such an amazing experience for My family and I, We saw so many dolphins and so many cool boats! We would be glad to come to Florida again just to see the boat and have an even better experience.The donuts were a nice touch too!
Great music, great info and saw various dolphins!!! Great way to celebrate Mother’s Day!! Very much worth the money!
Fins Up is an affordable cruise for all ages and worth it for a nice boat ride, viewing the shore and learning about the area for an hour and a half. Dolphins are a bonus and if you are lucky they'll get close enough to take a few good photos. Fins Up was definitely of the highlights of our trip to the Tampa area.
We took the Dolphins and Donuts morning cruise. The ride was smooth and a full hour and a half, almost on the nose. The crew kept the half-dozen families (or so) onboard entertained while we waited for dolphins. In the end we were able to see a mother dolphin with her calf. She, understandably, did not bring her baby too close to the boat, but we were close enough to get a few good looks. The ride was well worth the money I paid and I would do it again! If you enjoy relaxing and up beat boat rides, dolphins, birds, and expansive views of the shoreline and sea, it’s a good choice.
Saw loads of dolphins & had a great trip. The sandbar was fun & would highly recommend this trip
We loved this dolphin + swimming boating ride! The captain and co-captain were great and gave lots of good information about the area. We saw many, many dolphins and got to watch a few jump in the waves behind another boat. We all had a blast walking around the island stop and some of the family enjoyed swimming! Lots of big shells at the island. We looked at a few companies and this boat ride for the price can’t be beat!
