The absolute best sunset dolphin tour !!
This was the best dolphin tour that I have ever taken. We saw them up close, jumping, and playing. Roger and Amy at Sandy bottoms tours are an amazing crew. Because of them, the dolphin sunset tour was easily the highlight of our vacation. Thank you both for an unforgettable experience!

The music was great and the staff was very friendly and welcoming. Captain said we would stop until we saw dolphins and we were blown away when we did. We went with 8 people in total (5 adults + 3 children) and everyone had a great time! We also got an amazing sunset family photo in the middle of the trip. Thank you!
