Great trip for dolphins and birds! - This was a great and affordable trip. Kids liked it and adults.
Saw many dolphins and a great variety of birds.
if you CAN go at low tide for birds. We saw roseate spoonbills before we even left the dock!!
Also you can only go on the island on their video at low tide
Cody was a good captain! had some fun facts at his fingertips. Had information about birds and dolphins that was new to me. Personable. A LITTLE bit limited in "tour guiding" as he had to pilot the boat and watch the weather, but would DEFINITELY recommend this trip, and him specifically.
Smaller boat so fewer people also - max 12 I believe. we had 8 and no company so yay. had some shady spots on board.
Easy to find behind the Old Oyster Factory restaurant. nice trip indeed!

Highly recommend - I highly recommend this dolphin cruise. We were a party of 8. (4 adults and 4 kids.) Wilson was our Captain and was engaging and fun from start to finish. We had a great family outing, would have been worth it even if we hadn’t seen dolphins. We saw several while on the cruise.
