Great crew, lots of dolphins! - Captain Kate and Wendy were excellent! They were upbeat and friendly and made the trip fun. We’ve been on several dolphin tours and we saw many more dolphins on this tour than ever before. Highly recommend!

Great bay and inner coastal water views, dolphins plentiful - The two ladies who took us on the tour ( driver and narrator) were very knowledgeable and entertaining on the dolphins cruise. They knew where the dolphins would be and didn't disappoint. See many nice sites, landscaping, and active dolphins. This harbor marina area has some excellent fish, shrimp, and seafood restaurants and shops on-site after the excursion has concluded. One added bonus free parking!

Comfortable and fun - Wendy and Kate make a great team, they were confident and relaxed which helped give us the feel that it would be safe and fun and it was. We were able to see the dolphins and learned a lot about them as this team knew so much about them.
