5.00The captain and first mate were entertaining and very knowledgeable. The book with unique dolphins and their names and bond partners was fascinating and fun. We saw several dolphins up close and each were known by name by our first mate! The cruise itself was comfy and spacious, smooth and peaceful with island music in the background for the island vibe, which I love. They even offered to take family photos with our own devices. Great experience and great value.

5.00We were lucky to have the absolute best weather! The cruise proved to be full of dolphin sightings, an entertaining captain with knowledge of some of the large homes on the barrier islands. We enjoyed our cruise tremendously! I suggest reserving your cruise directly through Hubbards, they're the best! We reserved ours through Trip Advisor - big mistake! They gave us erroneous information and we almost missed the cruise! But Hubbards made sure we were accommodated. Kudos to them!
Fantastic tour and worth the price
