The ultimate dolphin experience. Saw lots of dolphins and Mike even got them to play in the waves of the boat. So fun! Better than expected!

A must do on your trip to Southwest Florida! Captain Mike is great. Wonderful experience watching the dolphins. We loved the private charter. Captain Mike found one dolphin within a minute of us being on the boat. Because it is not one of the big sightseeing boats with a lot of people, he was able to get into the more shallow areas where the dolphin was feeding and follow it. Then, on our way to Wiggins Pass, he found 2 dolphins that were jumping and playing in the wake of the boat. Beautiful to watch. I will be booking another trip with Captain Mike when I have my family with me in a couple months.

Unfortunately, the weather was not perfect, but still the tour was a great experience. We've seen a lot of dolphins. The boat driver was very friendly.

Our guide was awesome! Let my son do some fishing, and found dolphins to follow the boat while jumping out of the water! My teenagers absolutely LOVED this tour.

We had an amazing dolphin tour today! Captain Mike knew where the dolphins might be and we were fortunate to see many dolphins swimming and chasing the waves that the boat was making. He took us to many locations to ensure that we successfully saw dolphins and manatees. Captain Mike was very nice and we enjoyed talking with him.

Mike was very knowledgable about where the dolphins were. He also ran the boat in a way where the dolphins all swam after us. Great guide, great excursion thanks!

This was the most spectacular Dolphin tour ever!!!! Captain MIke sure knows how to find dolphins and get them to follow the boat. Our family saw many dolphins ( not quite sure but probably 15 -20) performing like we were at an aquarium performance. One time there were 5 dolphins performing on both sides of the boat . Our family returned home with a wonderful lifetime memory by going on Captain Mike's tour. As my granddaughter said. " Best Day Ever"!!!!!!
