My girlfriends and I had an excellent dolphin tour with Captain Josh and Christina! We saw so many dolphins that played along our boat in the waves…Christina was a wealth of information on shells and had samples to explain the different species. We also went shell collecting and had some incredible finds. Christina gave me the chink of coral she found and we sampled some edible sea plants. We had great fun and wonderful adventure. Highly recommend!

We had a small group of only 8 passengers and our naturalist Savanah and captain Josh. It was an amazing 3 hours. We saw so many dolphins and Savanah told us so much about the wildlife and nature of the area. They played music while we sailed and we just enjoyed a perfect day weather wise and with our hosts. It was top notch. My family loved every minute of it. We couldn’t have picked a better tour!

What an excellent experience! Of course, there are no guarantees that dolphins will come to visit but we had many groups come swim in our wake. We have no less than 200 pictures!😂 Christina was so personable and knowledgeable. She will answer any questions you have. Captain Josh was also very enjoyable and we had good conversation! All around A+ adventure!

An amazing morning excursion! The boat was roomy, clean, ample seating and had a bathroom! Savanal was a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. She provided tons of history and answered all questions, including the best places to eat (Dixie Fish Company). Josh was an ama,ing captain, constantly scouring the horizon for wildlife and getting us closer to see the dolphins! HIGHLY RECOMMEND this tour during your vacation! It will not disappoint!

My granddaughter and I had a wonderful time on this dolphin and seashell tour. I had reserved the wrong day by accident so when we got there they came back in, revised our reservations, were so kind about the mistake, and let us get on! We saw some dolphins and went to a private island where there were tons of shells. One of the ladies who was in charge, found a sand dollar and gave it to me!!! There were two ladies and a young man was our Captain. These people were so knowledgeable and just fun to be with! I say do it!!

Thank you very much for this experience, we were incredibly lucky with today's tour on 01.09.2025. We saw a lot of manatees and among other things a group of 4 animals playing. We have also seen some dolphins. The two tour guides were very good and also told a lot about the animals. The shell collecting was also very productive and great. All in all a 10, even if there are only 5 points as a maximum rating.
