Excellent Galveston Bay Dolphin Tour - Our Baywatch Dolphin Tour was excellent. The booking and communications up to the tour were very well done and the tour itself was a great experience. My granddaughter was thrilled to see and video the dolphins. And our guide, Steve, was super personable and informative. I highly recommend this tour as part of your time in Galveston.

Fun for everyone - We had a great ride. Captain Adam was knowledgeable and entertaining. We saw quite a few dolphins and enjoyed learning some of the history on the water. We did not have children with us, but the captain allowed the children on the boat to help him drive the boat, lots of smiles from the kids and their parents.

Great tour - We do this tour whenever we are in town. Each guide is different and some provide more history than others. This tour was less informative, but the little ones could steer the boat so that was different and a cool picure for us. We always see lots of dolphins so that was good. We did the 6pm which is unique this time as well. Overall, we highly recommend this tour.
