Highlights
- Pleasure Island Tiki Bar at Sportsman Marina - Expect lots of fun and exciting Dolphin encounters on our tour! From time to time, we have water battles with several other vessels that we encounter while out on the water (rarely on the Sunset Cruise). If time allows the crew pulls a crab pot up to see what the daily catch is to show the kids. And don’t forget about the Hermit Crabs! The kids love to interact with them! If the Dolphin are feeling playful, they often surf in our boat wake while we are cruising! Cruise time is 1 1/2 to 2 hours

Absolutely the best time! - My son and I went this past Saturday, and I have no complaints!! My son is autistic, and the crew understood and were super helpful! We saw so many dolphins from close up and far away!! My baby even ended up falling asleep because he was so relaxed lol Would definitely book with them again!

10th Anniversary - The whole trip was great! I liked that we got a chance to stop by the Tiki hut before departure and grab a bite to eat. The experience on the boat was perfect, sailing was smooth and we got a chance to see the dolphin pods. The scenery was great. And not to forget the cookies and cream dippin dots. Lol

Book it now and show up early - Kelseyville was very patient and knowledgeable about the dolphins and the cruise. We had a blast with my sisters and 7 and 9 year old sons! It was a great experience and we can't recommend it enough! The dolphins were amazing and played with the boat! So cool. If you are prone to sea sickness and you can get wet if you want...maybe not for you as we were in a roller coaster on the Gulf! Loved it and would do it again!
