Quick trip - well worth it! - My husband and I just wanted a quick water excursion and this was a great fit! It was a nice but windy day and a little choppy and cold on the water - they had blankets for us on the boat and that made it very comfortable. We got to see a group of 3 dolphins playing around for a bit. Wendy and Captain chuck were very knowledgeable and friendly - I would recommend!

Excellent experience. - Captain Kate and 1st Mate Audra were great hosts. We took the dolphin tour and had several up close views of the resident dolphins. The experience was informative and kept us entertained, both adults and children. The new boat was comfortable and was great for viewing. Highly recommended this tour. The 90 minutes went by way too fast.

Fantastic experience! - Weather did not permit for us to take the intended Disappearing Island Tour however, a choice to continue with a dolphin cruise was offered and a prorated refund was quickly given. Chuck and Dawn were fantastic guides and made the experience fantastic, ensuring we were able to see dolphins. We will be back to take the Disappearing Island tour next trip. Thank you!

Great tour with great staff !! Must do experience. - Took the Dolphin Boat Cruise couple of days back and loved the entire experience, from the wae of booking the tickets, to check-in and then the boat cruise. Kate and Jackie are awesome and made the cruise fun all along, and kept sharing information about the place as well as dolphins. We all including kids really enjoyed dolphin watching as we could spot them up close to the boat. Kids also got a chance to captain the boat for a min and got their certificates.
