Family vacation
One of the best dolphin tours we have been on. They know right where to go to ensure you see plenty of dolphins and they share a wealth of knowledge about them. I highly recommend this tour!

Great!
The crew was awesome! It was a great experience and I would definitely do it again! But I will say we didn't see very many dolphins but I guess they can't control that! Lol

Girls Trip Cruise Approved!
We had a phenomenal time seeing way more dolphins than anticipated and enjoying the most beautiful sunset. Captain Jim and Kirsten were fun, upbeat, knowledgeable, and professional. Highly recommend!

Sunset and dolphins
This was a really nice experience. The caption and his co pilot were so fun and knowledgeable about the dolphins. Complimentary beer and wine on board while you watch the dolphins and sail into the sunset. We saw an epic sunset while out on this cruise. Definitely recommend!

Too loud
We came last yr and it was very delightful. This time it was very loud and awful awful music choices. Not everyone is white and enjoy country music. We felt very left out. Either have a a dolphin watch or a party boat… will not be doing this again.
