Total dissapointment...!!
The company advertised a Dolphing sightseeing, and that is not the case, they take you on the boat around and around under the sun and that is it. No one explains or say anything.

Don’t waste ur time
Didn’t get to see many dolphins they wore not jumping out of the water and the boat never moved around to try and find more
Operator response
We are very sorry you were disappointed with your trip. It seems you did get to see dolphins but unfortunately it is a rare thing to see them jumping out of the water in the wild.

Good experience
Loved the fact that we got to see many dolphins on this just wish we could have stayed longer to watch them and when they drove around they would have pointed out what we were seeing. But would highly recommend going on this to see the dolphins

Dolphins
We took the 2 hour dolphin boat ride. Saw several dolphins. The free drinks were definitely a bonus. Areas on the boat for shade and lots of room for sun and getting great views of the dolphins and harbor
Operator response
Thank you for the 5 stars, Kara! We're so glad the dolphins decided to make an appearance—they're the real stars of the show! It's great to hear you enjoyed the open bar and had plenty of room to relax, whether in the shade or soaking up the sunshine. We appreciate you sailing with us and hope to welcome you back onboard again soon!

Beautiful Boat Ride, Limited Dolphin Viewing
We had a nice time on the afternoon dolphin watch, and the crew was friendly. We did see a school of dolphins on three or four occasions, which was exciting. However, the boat never got close enough for us to really see them. Most of what we saw were their dorsal fins briefly breaking the surface of the water. While I understand the importance of respecting the dolphins and not disturbing them, I was hoping for a closer view. Overall, it was an enjoyable boat ride, but if you’re expecting close-up dolphin sightings, your experience may vary.
Operator response
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed your afternoon on the water, found our crew friendly, and were able to spot dolphins several times during your trip. We understand hoping for a closer view, and while we always do our best to provide incredible wildlife encounters, we also prioritize the safety and well-being of the dolphins by following responsible wildlife viewing guidelines. Because they are wild animals in their natural habitat, every sighting is unique and their behavior can vary from day to day. Thank you again for your thoughtful feedback. We appreciate your understanding and hope to welcome you aboard again for another memorable adventure!
