5.00Great boat ride to see dolphins up close, the USS Texas, and the harbor. And you can bring your dog, if you're traveling with one. Don't worry about taking pictures, just enjoy the ride. :)
So worth it!

5.00Fabulous! Not only a dolphin cruise but also a history lesson about the harbor. Captain is very friendly, personable and extremely knowledgeable about the area. He even apologized that we didn’t see more dolphins than we did!
Worth every penny

5.00We arrived late and the boat came back to pick us up. It was a great tour, very peaceful and we got some up close encounters with dolphins near the boat.
More than expected!
