Soundside Cruiser Snorkeling and Dolphin Watching Experience

honestly such a good company. We booked in April when I had originally planned to book for June and the company was so accommodating and easily switched the dates for us. We ended up taking one of our kids to the Dr and they let us reschedule AGAIN. Absolutely amazing of them cause most company’s will not let you do it once let alone twice. But it was so fun and the snorkeling was great. Saw lots of wild life and we even caught a puffer fish and got to hold it. Very family friendly. We did see some dolphins but they were further away from the boat.

What great the team captain and co worker are fun awesome and know what they are doing! Great job thank yall do much.

Captain was not interested in looking for dolphins. He was nice and so was his crew mate. However we booked this to go see dolphins, he was not interested. He did take us to two small spots to snorkel. But he used 30+ minutes of our “dolphin time” to get snow balls that are $18 at crab island. I have been on several boat tours. From Pensacola to Panama City. This one wasn’t great. It wasn’t bad either but it wasn’t great.

Not very entertaining or informative. Just drive out oh there’s a couple dolphins for like 1 minute then snorkel and the boat motor was acting up took forever to get back to dock.

The captain and first mate were nice however not near as interactive and friendly as I have experienced on these tours before. Very few dolphins were seen compared to tours we have been on before. The snorkel part was less than thrilling with in a muddy bay.

It was a great dolphin & snorkeling cruise with Samantha & Sean. We snorkeled and all found hermit crabs and had a race on the boat after, which was entertaining for all. Saw quite a few dolphins, crab island and it was a great boat ride.

Not as advertised. We did see a few dolphins before the “Captain” ran into a buoy. Bottled water according to web page was included but they charged $2 per. I asked the “captain” why and all he said was it was a mistake. They had a small dingy come to the side of the boat at Crab Island trying to sell chicken nuggets, boiled peanuts, hats and ice cream. We wanted to snorkel. Then the place they took us to snorkel was only about 3’ deep, murky green water and sand. Absolutely nothing to see. We were told to not go in deeper water because it was in the boat lane and we might die. Their words not mine. Some people went a few feet to the shore and found a couple of shells. One snorkeler found a small dead crab. Then back to the dock where the “captain” ran into the dock and then had a very hard time getting into the slip. I don’t know if he was somehow impaired. The crew was not engaged at all with the passengers. One crew member was on her phone and the “captain” was eating the snacks they wanted us to pay for. Nothing like the pictures on the web site showing blue water, sea turtles and fish. Overheard one passenger tell his wife, what a waste of money. If I could give this tour no stars I would

The dolphins were cool, the snorkel part was not very cool. We didn’t see anything and was very boring

No PA system so for what little information shared you couldn’t hear. Lady the helped skipper was rude. Catered to only those buying beverages. Told her didn’t know how to snorkel and was not helpful. Put us in place where we saw nothing in the water. Maybe. Few minnows. Did see dolphins but boring just riding on boat Expected we should get some instruction and some information about history of area. Waste of $300. Don’t read the hype. Thumbs down. Customer service promotes tips. Maybe need to think on that

Smooth ride to some great dolphin watching spots. Super clear and calm water to snorkel and the kids saw a lot of different types of fish.
