Energetic - Great vibe, very upbeat, staff engaged and got others engaged as well! We were unable to see any dolphins, but we do realize that is not the fault of the tour. I absolutely love the music.

Spectacular Tour - This was by far the best boat cruise in South Padre that my family and I have been on. The level of customer service was excellent! Not only did the captain take the time to explain various details of the island and surroundings but he actively engaged with the riders. His assistant Ethan, was spectacular. I watched him move all around the boat to ensure that everyone was enjoying themselves. Ethan asked riders if they had questions and even engaged with us. While watching the firework display which was GREAT, Ethen danced with us on the back of the boat. All I can say is that my family and I enjoyed ourselves. The price is most definitely worth the it! I would recommend to everyone to go on this boat tour! Great job to captain and Ethan!

Dolphin and firework cruise - We had a blast . The environment was good for people wanting to party and also fun for us as a family with a teen daughter. Captain made sure we got a great spot to see the fireworks . It’s a great way to see the ocean at night and all the bars along the ocean!

Booze, music, dolphins and fun! - The cruise was fun, music great got to see dolphins but waited over 30 minutes and no fireworks! They said there was a malfunction and it had happened before! Little disappointed! Bring your cooler with plenty of adult beverages and water! 😊

Great experience, beautiful sunset! - The ride was 3 hours long, loved being out on the water with great music! Great trip, saw lots of dolphins. Gorgeous sunset. We parked for the fireworks and they were cancelled due to a mechanical issue.

Party Cruise LOUD Music - If you like LOUD Obnoxious music this is the cruise for you! But if you are looking for a peaceful boat ride to enjoy watching the Dolphins and the fireworks avoid this cruise at all costs! The music only stopped for the fireworks. The people drinking caused onboard fighting. The “seats” are very small there are other boats that offer the same cruise with regular sized seats.
The fireworks lasted about 5 minutes and the show was nice. The cruise lasted a little over 2 hours. This is a party cruise, not a relaxing cruise keep this in mind before booking.
