5.00We had an amazing dolphin watch experience at South Padre Island! Captain Brady and his crew were very friendly and knowledgeable about the area, making the trip both fun and informative. Seeing the dolphins swimming and playing in their natural habitat was absolutely incredible. My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The views were beautiful, and we were lucky enough to see several dolphins up close. This was truly one of the highlights of our trip, and we highly recommend it to anyone visiting South Padre Island. A memorable experience and 100% recommended!

5.00Our boat captain tour guide was very knowledgeable and interesting. We learned a lot about the island, Space X, the Queen Isabella Memorial Bridge, the ocean & bay around the island, the local dolphins, and much more. Everything was fun and relaxing and never rushed. It was a very enjoyable experience for my husband and me. We will definitely be back!
