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.

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.

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...

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!
