Very knowledgeable about dolphins and the history of John’s Pass and Treasure Island. Crew was entertaining.
We enjoyed our ride on the shaded boat to see the dolphins 🐬 jump right out of the water. Pretty scenery and the captain and first mate were fun. Thumbs up 👍
We had an amazing trip out! We saw many dolphins, both swimming and jumping! Our captain took us to two different areas for the best experience.
We’ve been on this tour the last few times that we’ve visited Florida from England.Always a relaxing trip and seen dolphins every time.Chilled drinks available at a reasonable price.The crew are very knowledgeable and funny.90 minutes is just the right length of time on the trip.The setting at John’s Pass is brilliant.
Coming back to the same dolphin cruise on multiple trips all the way from England is an incredible compliment! We're glad the experience continues to be a relaxing part of your Florida visits, and that the local dolphins have made an appearance for you every time. It sounds like you've found the perfect combination: 90 minutes on the water, knowledgeable crew members with a good sense of humor, a chilled drink, and plenty of time afterward to enjoy John's Pass. Thank you for continuing to choose Hubbard's Marina for your Dolphin Watching Nature Cruise and Eco Tour in Madeira Beach. We hope to see you again on your next trip across the pond!
Absolutely wonderful! Saw a large group/society of dolphins. Lots of great views, information, and fun! Loved Kirsten’s deep knowledge of all of the dolphins by name that we saw. Wonderful adventure.
Seeing a large group of dolphins together can make for an unforgettable afternoon on the water, Debra! We're thrilled you had such a wonderful adventure and enjoyed the combination of dolphin sightings, beautiful views, and local information throughout the cruise. It's especially great to hear that Kirsten's knowledge of the individual dolphins added another layer to the experience. Getting to know some of the local dolphins by name makes seeing them in their natural environment even more special. Thank you for choosing Hubbard's Marina for your Dolphin Watching Nature Cruise and Eco Tour from John's Pass in Madeira Beach. We hope to have you back aboard for another fabulous wildlife adventure!
If you park in the garage they validate and it’s $7.50 for the whole day. Also their restaurant on the pier is very good and reasonable and you get a discount showing your ticket stubs. The Dolphin Tour was very well run. Their boat is enjoyable as it’s covered with plenty of seating but open so you get a lot of shade but also fresh air. It can comfortably accommodate a lot of people and there are restrooms if you need them. Also they had restrooms on the dock and a nice covered waiting area pre-boarding. The two guys that Captain the boat are very nice and funny making it an enjoyable experience. Also I was very impressed that they sold packaged snacks and drinks at very reasonable prices. You could get a pack of chips for the kids for a dollar and $3 for a soda or an alcoholic beverage for three dollars. They tell you some interesting facts about Dolphins and the area while you are on the cruise. The Dolphins come right up near the boat. Very entertaining and enjoyable. I would do it again!
The tour was canceled last minute, and I am unable to get a refund from the company. I have tried phone, email, and viator message -- they are not responding to me at all.
We had a great time on our Dolphin watching tour. The tour guides were very knowledgeable and we saw several dolphins.

Was a great experience! We weren't out there 15/20 mins and saw 7/8 dolphins. Even a couple of baby dolphins. It was awesome, and I loved hearing there knowledge around the area.
