Lots of fun. - Great cruise. We saw a lot of dolphins and an amazing sunset. 90 min. Was a perfect amount of time. Started on time and finished right after sunset.

Fun cruise - I had fun took my mom on their sunset cruise. We saw dolphins and I took plenty of videos because the dolphins were quick to go back in the water from gaining air.

No sunset, but lots of dolphins! - We were fortunate to see many dolphins on our excursion. The captain gave informative information about the dolphins, as well as the surrounding islands and marshes.

Fun times - We enjoyed the open top deck even in the cooler temps, dress warm and wear a hat. The narration was very good and educational.

Always a beautiful night - This was our sunset dolphin cruise with Vagabond and it didn’t disappoint! The crew (Jenna and Kennedy) were great, super friendly, welcoming and made sure we had a great family experience. The captain is full of knowledge about the dolphins, surrounding area, and all the beauty of HHI. I highly recommend taking this cruise at least once!

Actually seeing multiple... - Actually seeing multiple dolphins, a couple of bald eagles, and different species of birds. We also enjoyed the two sunsets over the islands and just being out on the water. The moon was almost full over a striated pink and pale blue sky.

Not impressed - The Captain (Justin) was uninspiring. Was not impressed with the cruise. Will not take another. I would also include to wear a jacket or bring a blanket, as it can get cool.
