Fun for the whole family - RJ was a great captain and we saw so many dolphins. Our girls ages 11, 8, and 4 had a blast. We would definitely do another tour with them.

Wonderful experience! - We saw many dolphins which came close to the boat. Our favorite part was when the captain sped up the boat and the dolphins played in the wake!

Dolphins put on a show! - Can't say enough good things about our adventure! Our captain Colleen and guide Caitlyn were so knowledgeable and fun. They made sure we saw several dolphins and even took time to let the dolphins play in our wake. They know all the best spots to go and even managed to show us several manatees! The boat is comfortable and has plenty of shade. We loved this tour so much and highly recommend it for all ages!

First Time on a boat tour - This was our first experience doing the boat tour. Captain Kate was amazing and very knowledgeable. We saw alot of the mangroves and learned the history of the area. We stopped at an island, Dickman's I think, and did some shelling. I can't say enough about Captain Kate. We even were able to see 2 dolphins following the boat in the waves. It was a fun and memorable day.

From Chicago with Love! - Captain Colleen was great!!! She not only navigated us well through the islands and quickly found some dolphins, her marine biologist education really helped us better understand what we were experiencing. She was very kind and professional, even engaging our 5 year old in a game of hide and seek on a boat. LOL. While it may not have been the most fun trip for our little guy, it sure was for us! We saw many dolphins, manatees and birds!! Captain even had the dolphins jumping through the waves created by the boat. Very cool experience. We will be back again on our next trip out here. Thank you for the great experience and a huge thanks to Capt Colleen for being great.

Amazing experience with Marco! - We took a private six person dolphin tour with Marco. We were so impressed with his knowledge about the ecosystems and area. He has a wonderful and fun personality, he loves to share his lifetime of experience on the water. My teenage girls were very interested in his knowledge about the shells and how everything fits into the beautiful ecosystem around us.
We saw dolphins and up close and had a manatee experience that gave us some family stories to tell for years to come.
Thank you Marco!
