2.00Saw the top of one dolphin and that’s it. There was nothing much at all to see but when there was then people were standing n front of boat blocking your view. Also the sunset was unable to capture a photo for the same reason. This was maybe worth $5 to me and my family. Sad when a 6 year old says, that wasted our whole night.
Still a great tour!!!

5.00Sunset cruise got interrupted by a super cell storm. The guys on the boat handled everything great. We all were handed ponchos. They kept the energy up and still provided everyone an amazing night.
Storms Didn't Stop Us

4.00It was a nice evening. We ended up having a storm during our trip and they passed out free ponchos to everyone. We had a torrential downpour & the ponchos were a huge help. The captain kept us away from the lightening. We did get some light coming though that made for a beautiful sunset with dark clouds & lightening. They did a great job!!
Fantastic Crew & Experience

5.00I booked the sunset tour with my family. Andrew and Dianne provided a great experience. They were funny and engaging with the passengers. We did see dolphins, manatees, a variety of birds, and an Atlas V rocket launch! Kudos for the crew on making this launch a priority. Everyone on the boat was super excited to see, and then hear, the Atlas V rocket launch. We were very thankful for the crew's efforts. Please note, I would recommend the tour even if there isn't a rocket launch scheduled. The water was calm, wildlife plentiful, and the crew fun to be around. PS: Best way to find the boats at the docks; go to Sunset Bar and Grill. Stand facing the front door and turn right and walk to the docks. Parking is in the lot beside the car wash; not behind Sunset Bar and Grill. Multiple mapping programs were confused on where to go.
Great time! Will go again!

5.00Our cruise was amazing! The guides were prompt and courteous. They have refreshments available to purchase on board (great for the Florida heat!). Our guides were amazing. Very knowledgeable and you can tell that they really care about the environment and wildlife. And they also doubled as photographers! Lol Book with them. You won’t regret it.
Awesome adventure ‼️
