I had a great time on the Dolphin Boat. We saw lots of dolphins and the Captain was friendly, knowledgeable, and showed us some history. It was the highlight of the trip.

Loved the boat, Cpts Adam’s humor and explanation of surroundings. Loved the dolphins close up. And the background music. Will definitely go again on this cruise. Thank you Captain Adam.

This was fun! The ride is smooth, the boat captain was smooth, and the dolphins were cooperative. The captain gave us some interesting facts about the local area, and about dolphins. We saw lots! More than I’ve ever seen on any other tour in other places. Highly recommend, well worth the admission price.

My sisters-in-law and I went and had a great time. The 3 of us got to experience this for $117.68 including tax. We were on the boat for about 45 minutes. Captain Adam was great, he was funny and excellent at showing is the dolphins. He made jokes with everyone and even let the kids onboard steer the boat. I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to have an amazing experience. It is relaxing and kid friendly.

The captain was very good and entertaining (though a bit factually inaccurate!) we enjoyed it very much.

The crew cracked a few decent jokes, we got to see all the things in the bay, and there were dolphins everywhere. I highly recommend!
