Fun Cruise!

Fun trip out onto the water! If you worry about getting motion sick, this is a smooth ride. You can move about the boat, and it was fun to go to the front and get a good look at the dolphins.

The crew was amazing! We...

The crew was amazing! We saw a lot of dolphins and they showed us other wildlife as well. We were not out on the water that long before the captain found the dolphins. It was a great ride and will be doing it again when we return!!

Perfect day

Very fun. Captain and crew were knowledgeable about the area. Knew where to find the dolphins. Only 15 passengers. Perfect

Amazing tour

Amazing staff!! So nice, funny, and informative. The crowd was a decent size. The price is worth the amount of dolphins and time we were there. An hour and a half seems long but I honestly wish we were there all day. Would recommend!
