Dolphins! - Aaron , Elissa and Bob Steffen have created a warm and friendly environment for this fantastic dolphin tour. And I can’t forget to mention Sailor, their seaworthy dachshundish sail mate. Yes, they are dog friendly. We saw at least 25 dolphins and many came right next to the boat. Fantastic time and I would highly recommend!

Great Vibes - The tour guides were amazing and they tried their hardest to get us out on the water but the weather told us not to. We did get to see 2 dolphins that was amazing. The women was very dedicated to us seeing the wild life and she helps with saving the wildlife. The only bummer was that because of the weather we went out for 15 minutes. But she offered another ride

Great Tour: Best Value option to see Dolphins - Great tour. Saw several dolphin pods as well as getting an informative tour of the bay. I also appreciate the special attention they gave my granddaughter. Definitely worth the cost as it was a smaller group and the boat had room to sit, stand or walk around to get optimum views. We definitely will take this tour again.
