5.00We loved the dolphin watch cruise. We saw plenty of dolphins and learned a lot about the area. It's a fun thing to do if you are vacationing in the St. Petersburg beaches area.

4.00Parking is across the street from the tour company's meeting place. I didn't know the area and wound up parking in the very expensive ParkMobile-serviced open lot just across the street to the side of the much more reasonable parking garage, which I did not see until I'd already paid ParkMobile. Please include in your reservation information the location of the parking garage, so others don't have this happen. If I missed it in your reservation message, my apologies for complaining!
Great dolphin cruise!

5.00We had a great time on the dolphin cruise. We saw lots of dolphins and I like that they do not feed or unnaturally lure the dolphins over to the boat. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable.
Wonderful Time Spent

5.00The captain was very nice and funny loved to joke around. Very informative about the area and tried to show us as many wildlife birds and dolphins as possible. Showed us many beautiful homes and boats and their history It was cooler today and windy so he tried to keep us out of the wind as much as he could. Had a very nice experience.
