We went for the sun set tour it was an awesome experience. The 2 guys guiding the tour were great, very friendly, easy to talk to, answered all questions, were full of ocean knowledge and great with the kids on board!! We got to see a bunch of dolphins, even a little baby. The boat was a smooth ride. The other wildlife we saw along the way was really cool to see also.
We had such a wonderful time. We went as a family and the captain and crew chief were amazing. Would highly recommend. Definitely bring some cash for tips. We were not prepared for that. I felt awful not having enough cash on me.
Good views!!! Nice people!!!
We’re thrilled you enjoyed the beautiful views and our friendly crew. 😊 We hope to have you back on the water again soon!
To arrive in time and be loud enough to let others know where you see the dolphins. Bring cash for tips!

Great trip!! We saw dolphins within the first 10 minutes of getting into the water and watched them in the water for over an hour. Tour guide had a ton of knowledge of the harbor, dock, and ocean. Told us the names and histories of several of the dolphin pods. Highly recommend this tour company.
