Expect lots of fun and exciting Dolphin encounters on our tour! From time to time, we have water battles with several other vessels that we encounter while out on the water (rarely on the Sunset Cruise). If the Dolphin are feeling playful, they often surf in our boat wake while we are cruising, so have those cameras ready! Cruise time is 1 1/2 to 2 hours

Great time. Tour guides were great and the time was well worth it. From start to finish. Guides were knowledgeable about the area.

I keep getting asked to leave a review, so here it is. I did not get to go on a cruise as they cancelled due to too few people signing up for our chosen time slot. I wish there was a way for that to be relayed to Viator, so they’d stop pestering me.

Fire!!! Best experience I’ve ever had. I’m a Mississippi man that’s the coolest thing I’ve ever seen better than a zoo

Enjoyed that there were deck areas to watch from as well as a seated interior area. The staff would make sure to point out any spotted dolphins or sea life so everyone had a chance to move to the area and look. We were lucky enough to see a mother dolphin and her baby. Some dolphins were riding on the wakes of the boat and playing alongside us. Great experience!

This cruise was the icing on our spring break trip! Saw tons of dolphins, they even played in the wake behind the boat! Very professional and friendly crew, kids loved the experience (and the adults too!)

Jake (I think that was his name) and Jen made the tour great with their humor, wit, and knowledge! Obviously the star of the tour 🐬🐬🐬 came out and showed us some love! 10/10 recommend!

Pleasant ride, even on a windy day. Beautiful sunset at the ending of the evening tour. From inside the cabin you are close to the dolphins at times.

This was a great experience with our family- kids aged 9 and 16. The crew was good with the kids and very talkative even sharing some building facts along the way. We got to see some dolphins in their natural element. The on hand snacks to purchase was a bonus for the kids. I accidentally booked a future date and they accommodated me without any problem. We felt very safe. The crew interaction made you feel you were on a ride with family. Highly recommend!
