Wonderful Sunset Dolphin Tour with Isla Tours - Patrick and Eric did an awesome job! Patrick was very quick to point out any dolphins. Eric gladly helped in any way, including taking pictures of our group! This was our 4th year with Isla Tours and the Sunset Dolphin tour. The first year there were lots of dolphins. Unfortunately, in 2023, inclement weather canceled it. In 2024 we only saw 1 dolphin. This year we saw a lot of dolphins. I must have taken a dozen videos. (Now to edit them!) I would recommended this trip to anyone going to Padre. We will see you next year!
