5.00Captain Steve and mate Grace were great! They were both very knowledgeable and entertaining! We saw a mom and her calf for quite some time. We also got to see some beautiful homes, a tiki boat and pirate ship along the way. It was a great experience, I highly recommend this tour!!

5.00I had such a great time on the Dolphin Quest! The crew, especially , were so friendly and made the whole trip enjoyable. We saw so many dolphins, including moms with their babies, which was amazing to watch up close. The boat was comfortable, the views were beautiful, and the staff made sure everyone had a wonderful experience. Highly recommend this tour if you want to see dolphins!

5.00The other people were noisy so I couldn’t hear everything she was saying. Since this was my second trip this week, I generally knew most of the information.
A nice tour to go see and learn about dolphins

5.00Omg it was so nice!! The captain ( I forgot his name, so sorry )and the host Kirsten were so friendly, knowledgeable and kind, better than I expected! We saw many dolphins and learned so much! All that and they even brought blankets to cover ourselves if it got cold further from the shore. This is a must in the area, thanks a lot for this nice experience

Wonderful Dolphin Watch Cruise in Winter

4.00A great and relaxing cruise for Dolphins watch in St Pete Bay. We saw a lot of dolphins. The tour guide lady and the captain are very nice. A negative side is too cold during the cruising due to the particular chilly weather on the day of 12/30/2025. Also one-hour earlier arriving at the dock seems unnecessary.
