Captain Chris knows all the best spots where you can spot dolphins swimming near the boat, giving you the unique opportunity to observe them in the wild from a safe distance. You may even see other wildlife, such as rays, sharks, manatees, and sea turtles, during your journey. Enjoy interesting facts from an experienced guide.

During your tour, he will be sure to share interesting facts about these amazing creatures and provide funny dad jokes.

5.00I can not say enough good things about Flippin' Awesome Adventures! From seeing the most beautiful views I've ever seen, to learning fun facts about marine life, and the dolphins showing off, this has been the highlight of our vacation! Thank you Captain Chris! We will 100% be repeat customers! Also having to add, we were worried about how our 1 year old would do, and she freaking loved it!
This was unreal!!

5.00Well what can we say? Answer; THIS! We booked with Chris owing to the rave reviews already present for all to see and we are just so glad we did! We are a family of Brits visiting the area for the October school holidays so the weather for the week was changeable but pleasant. The first thing you notice about Chris is his cheery demeanour putting us all at ease. Two of us are not the most confident seafarers so a friendly and confident Captain was exactly what the doctor ordered. We saw so much and learned a heap which was certainly a pleasant bonus. Chris was the perfect host ensuring and safe and enthralling trip. I don't want to spoil the trip for any future guests but we did get to see the most wonderful dolphins up close. It was truly magical! It sounds obvious but Chris just knows where stuff is! Jelly fish? He's on it, diving it and carefully bringing two out. Fish? , "over there look!" Dolphins? "Here's four of the b*stards, dancing right in front of you!" Then we got to explore Shell Island which is the most gorgeous beach with white sand and perfect waters. We were lucky enough to see hundreds of amazing shells which we most certainly did not steal! This boat trip is an absolute must and anyone who takes it will agree. The price is fantastic considering the length of the trip, thorough learning journey and breathtaking experience. GET ON A TRIP NOW! From Dan, Cara, Ted and Reggie

5.00Captain Chris was fantastic. A genuine human being that brought out the best in our group. Not only did we just thoroughly enjoy the boat ride out to specific spots along the bay, but he gave us a marine tour of any critter we could find. He gave us tips for best safety practices in and out of the boat, showed us where to find the best seashells 🐚. Our tour also included history of the local area. I felt like this was so much more than we ever expected. Will be returning, for sure.
Unique and personal experience!
