Highly Recommend for a great dolphin/sunset tour! - Amazing tour last night with our group of 17 friends. One of the best Dolphin sightings I have had with a family pod following us for a long time. gorgeous sunset! Capt and Crew were knowledgeable and professional.

Fabulous Nature Lovers' Tour - Bring a snack and a drink to share at sunset. This tour is incredible! Emily is a compassionate Bird Rescuer and a local who shares her vast knowledge with her guests. This boat is never crowded, so when you are on your voyage you may ask all kinds of questions. We also had unobstructed views of many dolphins, tons of birds and breathtaking sunset and architectural views. We saw another tour boat when we were out and it was crowded. We felt like we had a private boat! At sunset Emily serenaded the sunset with a beautiful Conch shell. It was lovely and unique. We will definitely return. It is hard to actually find this tour out of the Gulfport Marina on line. It is under Salty Pelican Boat Tours St Pete's. They purchased a boat with Dolphin Quest already registered as its name. Don't get mixed up with the wrong Dolphin tour

Great way to spend an evening. - The sunset tour was fun and amazing, seeing all the bodies of water come together in one location near the Gulf was very enjoyable. The Boat Crew Emily & Rob love what they do and were very friendly and knowledgable of the animals on and in the water. We had a very good time seeing the sunset and the dolphins were on the shy side that day. I highly recommend taking this tour.

Excellent tour - Rob and Emily provided a wonderful tour! We really enjoyed the animal information Emily provided as we watched a mom and baby dolphin swimming in the shallows to feed. We also got some great info about the area and then went out to watch the gorgeous sunset. They provided great customer service and sprinkled a little extra magic for my birthday! We will be back!

Lovely sunset tour - Emily and Rob provided a WONDERFUL tour! We enjoyed the animal information Emily provided and we got to see dolphins feeding which was cool. Then we went out from the bay to watch the gorgeous sunset (even with the storm that blew in between us and the sunset, it was still so pretty!). We will be back for sure!
