Traveler reviews
The captain and guide...
The captain and guide were very good at spotting the dolphins and guiding boat toward them. Just make sure that Space X is not launching because finding a parking space will be a problem.
Loads of dolphins!
Super fun and loads of dolphins!! The two guides were pinch hitting for the regular crew and did so well!!
Worth every penny!
Roy was an excellent captain. We saw so many dolphins and the boat was not in any sort of hurry, so we had lots of time to enjoy the views.
Great Activity!
The guides were so good and even though it was overcast, everything was still so beautiful. Saw a bunch of dolphins and had a great time. Highly recommend!
Sisters trip 2026
The captain and his mate were very knowledgeable on where to see the dolphins and how to get them to swim next to the boat with us. They also have lots of insight on the history of South Padre.
