Dolphin Fun - Chad was fantastic; he knew exactly where to go to see dolphins. No guessing where to hopefully see them. He had great information and history, too. We had a relaxing, great time!

Thank you Chad! - Chad is an awesome person. Very informative, intelligent and easy going! Saw tons of dolphins, learned about their environment and how they move about the area. As a bonus, we also learned more about the Port Aransas area and surrounding islands! Cannot wait to go back!

Clean Beach - We visited the beach in Port Aransas on a Saturday. A lot of people were on the beach we did not feel crowded. The beach was clean, the water was free of seaweed and it was pleasant to be in the water. Most people, including us, took our own canopy, small table, chairs, and cooler. Several people flew kites. We did see one man-o-war. Seagulls and pelicans flew over. I recommend a visit to this beach. Be prepared for quite a wait to board the ferry to get to Port Aransas.

Best Tour in Port A ! - My friends and I were celebrating a bride to be this weekend and the boat was our highlight of the weekend. The dolphins get so close to the boat you could almost touch them. The captain let us jam out to our music and was very friendly and chill. Definitely book the tour you will not regret it !!!!
