5.00Captain Adam was fantastic. I would recommend him for sure if you go on the baywatch dolphin tour. Me and my boyfriend had a fantastic time. Took lots of videos and pictures, Captain Adam was very informative about the dolphins. 10-10 recommend if you're traveling through here. Definitely both of our favorite parts to our Galveston trip. Not very expensive at all.

5.0016 hours ago New We had a group of 12 people get on the boat with CPT Adam and he was GREAT. My 4 year old had the time of his life. We saw so many more dolphins than we normally see as well so that was a bonus! It won’t let me add pictures but he let both of my kids drive. Made my son feel so special!💙

5.00Plan to pay for parking. Construction currently makes it a bit hard to get around. The tour was good and we did see a number of dolphins. Captain Adam also pointed out other landmarks and ships while on the tour. Captan Adam also made it a fun time. He even volunteered to take pictures of everyone which was great!
Great time and value!

5.00Had a great time on this tour with my daughter! We spotted dolphins in several different locations, which made the experience even more exciting. The captain was hilarious and kept everyone laughing throughout the trip. The tour was a generous length for the price, and overall it was a fun, memorable experience that offered excellent value. Highly recommend!
Highly recommend!

5.00We started with the sunset cruise the night we came in. The weather was perfect and the sunset was amazing. Captain Adam did an amazing job. He was very knowledgeable of the area, professional, and full of dad jokes. We had so much fun we booked a dolphin tour for the next afternoon. We then booked the haunted harbor tour for later that night. If you’re ever in Galveston, I highly recommend taking all 3 tours. It is well worth the money.
Family fun!

5.00These tours are the best! They are perfect for relaxing and taking your mind off stress. That is why I go on these dolphin tours. These particular boat ride always are the best. The captains are so entertaining and very very nice. Each time, I’ve always needed help getting in the boat and boat guys always help us older ladies. They never rush us and make us feel safe and welcomed. I highly recommend this company. Very pet friendly! Took both of my small dogs.
