Great Tour and Knowledgeable staff. - We were super impressed that a Marine Biologist was provided to give us real insight into the dolphins and other habitat. Our captain was also able to entice the Dolphins to chase our boat and perform aerobatics. It was awesome. I highly recommend this tour.

The only dolphin cruise to book - Captain Ty and Ashley were phenomenal! They taught us a lot about the history of FMB and the Calusa culture. They were also able to attract the dolphins and get them to jump the waves

Good wildlife observing experience - We saw a manatee and dolphins. The boat captain did a good job of finding them and staying near them so we could observe them. The naturalist on board gave some good information
