45-minute dolphin cruise
Galveston
Baywatch Dolphin Tours has been operating out of Galveston Harbor for over a decade. Our goal is to offer affordable fun for all ages on our 45-minute Dolphin watching excursion. We’re located at Pier 21 in front of Harbor House Hotel. Just two blocks from the historic Strand District in downtown Galveston. We have four vessels in our fleet that were built with Dolphin Tours, Burials at Sea, and private events in mind. We are now offering enclosed and heated tours, with a 360° view for the ideal dolphin watching experience.

It was mostly enjoyable with the exception of the music being played loudly. It's nice to be out on the water and enjoy that without being blasted. Our 13 year old granddaughter said the same and had a headache afterwards. We saw a decent amount of dolphins and got a nice overview of some of the Galveston Bay points of interest. Just cut the music.

This experience is totally worth it. They tell you that you will see dolphins and you do! They work very hard to point them out for you. Plus they also tell great stories about the area.

Take a sweater or sweatshirt. The wind can have a cooling effect on open water. Alonso be prepared for a little turbulence from the wake of other passing boats. The staff was helpful, very knowledgeable, and patient. Well worth the effort to take the excursion.
