Traveler reviews
Fun and informative!
We booked the 7 pm Dolphin Tour. It was both entertaining and informative and we had a great time. The Capt. Kept the " crew" engaged and it was thoroughly enjoyable. Spotting the đŹ was fun. I enjoyed the time of day for the tour. Early evening, not too hot.
It is a great experience...
It is a great experience one of the most fun trying to see the Dolphin ,we saw many of them also the captain the History of the place I will come back.
Wow
We had a fabulous outing on the water with nature and history galore. The dolphins were inquisitive and fun. The guides were, too. We had a family from France on our boat and we were proud to share the beautiful golden isles with them.
Great experience
The couple who runs this tour is fabulous and friendly and funny. The price for the tour was totally reasonable considering it's a 90 minute excursion. We really enjoyed the humor and knowledge of the captain and the narrator. We felt safe and comfortable the entire time and would highly recommend it! We saw quite a few dolphins and even saw a man catch a bull shark on the pier as we went by. We were not disappointed! The tour was not overcrowded and although we had one crying toddler on board it is still a totally appropriate trip for kiddos. If you go on sunset tour be sure to bring an extra sweater it does get chilly as the sun goes down.
Great time!
Booking is easy and it's nice that it won't let you book a trip that doesn't have enough available tickets for everyone in your group. Our tour guides were fantastic. Very friendly. The history and knowledge they had was very interesting. We were able to see several dolphins and they gave us plenty of time and different viewing opportunities. Our only regret was not doing the tour sooner. We waited until the end of our trip and they had recommendations for several other great sites we weren't aware of.
