The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the dolphins and area. The captain done a phenomenal job making sure had several encounters with the Dolphins. I was able to get great photos and videos.

Everyone, including the crew as well as the ticket booth person were great! Although we only saw one dolphin, it was a very nice ride with a lot of knowledge from Candace which we appreciated greatly! Overall, it was a very good experience and we will be recommending it to everyone! Thanks again! 😊

This was a last minute idea and boy, was it a good one. We had a great time. We saw a pod of about 6 dolphin for over 1/2 an hour and the rest of the time was an enjoyable boat ride. The crew was informative, fun, interactive and really nice. Highly recommend.

Booked tickets online on same day. Arrived and greeted with a smile and check in was simple. We took the 2:30 cruise. We boarded at 2:15 and left right on time at 2:30. The crew was fantastic! They were always asking if everyone was okay or if we needed anything. There are two bars and you can buy a drink package before your board. The tour was great. From the minute we started the tour, our guide was great! On our way back, we saw a pod of dolphins. The captain turned the boat around and we followed them for a good bit. Everyone on board was able to take photos and videos. Our guide educated everyone about the dolphins. It certainly was the reason we took this tour and they did not disappoint. I would definitely be taking this tour again.

The dolphins stayed with the boat for a long time. It was a nice relaxing ride out to the dolphins. The staff was very nice and knowledgeable about the attractions/celebrity homes in the area. Very nice time! Would recommend this trip to others.

The crew was great and really took good care of all of us on board! Sam and Eric and the captain made sure that we were well looked after. Ashlea at the front was great!

We had a great time and there were many dolphins to see. I thought we were going out on the Gulf farther.

The people were friendly, the cruise was not crowded allowing for plenty of time at the railings to enjoy the spectacular sunset. There was a little confusion about the drink package, but all in all a pleasant experience.
