5.00The ride was fun. We saw many dolphins and Ben was very informative. Besides seeing dolphins, We saw the battleship up close and got to see the ghost of William on the side of a building.

4.00I went with my adult daughter. I grew up going to Galveston regularly since the 70's, but I still learned things. I knew I could see dolphins just taking a ferry to Bolivar, but this definitely gave me some info I didn't already know.
Wonderful experience...

5.00Wonderful experience going on this dolphin cruise! Our captain gave us a very informative speech about how the dolphins interact with each other and that there are mom and baby dolphins in the nearby Gulf!! Would love to recommend this type of cruise!
