3.00This tour stays in the banana river and does not go into open water. We saw lots of birds in the mangroves and a few dolphins toward the end of the cruise. The sunset was nice and we even caught a quick glimpse of a rainbow.

5.00The cruise was wonderful. Great commentary from the on-ship guide, Donna, who was great. The pilot, Rusty, was very efficient. We saw lots of manatees and dolphins. And the sunset they manufactured for us was fantastic!
The best!!!

Very disappointed

2.00Saw the top of one dolphin and that’s it. There was nothing much at all to see but when there was then people were standing n front of boat blocking your view. Also the sunset was unable to capture a photo for the same reason. This was maybe worth $5 to me and my family. Sad when a 6 year old says, that wasted our whole night.
Still a great tour!!!

5.00Sunset cruise got interrupted by a super cell storm. The guys on the boat handled everything great. We all were handed ponchos. They kept the energy up and still provided everyone an amazing night.
