Girls Trip 2026 - I had a very good experience and we saw plenty of dolphins. Dan was a great captain full of information & history. It is important for other patrons to be mindful of the departure. We arrived back to the Marina a few minutes late & it almost caused us to miss the last trolley back to the hotel.

Outstanding - We saw several dolphins and had gorgeous sunset views. There was a wide variety of wildlife including a gator in the marina before we departed AND when we returned. The guides were knowledgeable and funny, the boat was incredibly stable and all passengers could walk around to get better views of dolphins off the different sides of the boat. They were even helpful with parking… a nearby restaurant was hosting a large group as we arrived for the cruise and the parking lot was full, but the crew came out and directed us to other parking spots and made sure everyone was able to get on board. I know you can’t guarantee wildlife sightings on this kind of cruise, but it seems like they are very successful on a consistent basis.

Another fabulous Outside trip! - Every year, we choose Outside HH for our boating excursions, and we are never disappointed. The registration and check-in processes are easy. The staff members are friendly and knowledgeable. Captain Joe gave us a relaxing and fun ride to the end of the island and just a little beyond. We saw several pods of dolphins feeding, and the sunset view was amazing! We can't wait to do it again next year.

Great dolphin cruise - Everything was great - our only complaint is we didn’t have good communication at check in - did not which boat we were on or where to go. No one really announced when it was time to board. Other than that the boat ride was great and the we saw lots of dolphins and a great sun set. Boat was clean and comfortable.
