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.

This was fun for the kids. More time would have been nice. We barely got a chance to see the dolphins once they appeared.

Boat operator was great. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience. We got to see several dolphins in several different areas. Our boat operator was great about giving us history info on Galveston along with the info on dolphins.

This was my first time on a dolphin excursion, and I loved it. Our captain was wonderful. I loved the way he included the kids and let them steer the boat.
