There are dozens of dolphin cruise companies to book from and trust me, they all circle around the same pods of dolphins. But what you’ll get with this company is no crowding, plenty of room to see the sights, and a couple knowledgeable and chill captains taking you on a joyride around the gulf at an unbeatable price. My 6 year old had a blast and we were home in plenty of time for bed!
Fun adventure, saw alot of dolphins, beaitiful views. Wonderful sunset. Entertaining. James and Jordan were very nice (hope names are correct).
The whole trip was AWESOME! The brothers are so nice, funny, and informative! Seeing dolphins was super cool, but the actual ride speeding through the gulf was THE BEST! Good tunes, good vibes and good times. 100% recommend over other tours if you want to 'go fast' lol. Make sure to go a bit early to sign off on the waiver, and to ensure you can get paid parking (there is some parking over the hill just FYI lol).
Our boat ride was canceled yesterday 10 minutes after we arrived for our show up time. The pump on the boat broke on the excursion 2 hours before ours. A refund is supposed to be initiated. Probably the holiday weekend slowing it down, but we are still out at least the $22 we paid for parking.
Fun filled with a very hospitable captain. Very easy to work with. Boat was clean and still had some fun out on the water as well. Fast too. Definitely recommend
amazing hosts. very friendly and fun environment. 10/10 recommend for the kids. lots of dolphins and fun waves. good family friendly music.
Had a wonderful time. Highly recommend. Will return before the season ends. Thanks to everyone who helped.
Our son booked thru TripAdvisor. This was SO MUCH FUN - definitely recommend. Fast moving boat, prepare to get wet from overspray, but not bad, also depends on where you sit. The lease amount of overspray is sitting in the center of the boat. We did get to see dolphins, it’s hard to take pictures as they move fast. We went at 7 pm, so beautiful sunset too.
We went and saw tons of dolphins + a little thrill ride!! It was after a tropical storm so we couldn’t really go into the gulf but they definitely made up for it! Both tour guides were friendly and fun!
We had a great time! We got to see lots of dolphins and get videos. The ride was a mix of a nice cruise and adrenaline wave jumps! I would definitely recommend this trip. Well worth it!
