Dolphins! - The dolphins weren't super active, but, we did get to see them. The best view is the top deck to see further out. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. This was a good experience.

Saw 2 Dozen Dolphins and crew was great with our kids - The title says it all. We saw a couple dozen dolphins and a manta ray. We had a nice tour of the sound too. The mate was really good with my 3 year old that clearly needed to nap. He even told one of them the boat was a Transformer to make him laugh.

Take a fun dolphin cruise on The Voyager - Eight 'older' ladies had a great time with Captain Justin on the dolphin cruise. He is very knowledgeable and provides interesting tidal information. The Voyager was nicer than expected--plenty of seating and room to walk around. Dolphin sightings were plentiful! Short trip but fun!

Perfect tour if you have been wanting to go see dolphins - The crew on the ship was amazing and very fun! As we were leaving the pier dolphins were spotted immediately. We got rained on and the ship had both covered areas and open on the top.
