3.00The Captain did a great job of being enthusiastic and pointing out various items in the bay such as the ships and the docks Saw a couple pods of dolphins breaking the water - so it came through as advertised. In the end, we might have just taken the ferry for free and seen the same stuff.

5.00I had such a great time with Baywatch Dolphin Tours! From start to finish, the experience was relaxing, fun, and well-organized. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, making sure everyone felt comfortable and engaged throughout the ride. Seeing the dolphins up close was definitely the highlight—they were active and playful, and it felt like such a special, unforgettable moment. The boat was clean, the atmosphere was enjoyable, and everything ran smoothly. If you’re looking for something peaceful but still exciting to do on the water, I’d definitely recommend this tour. I truly enjoyed it and would go again!
Great tour
