Great experience, will absolutely go again. My wife and I went on the Isla Dolphin and Eco tour with our 3 girls on 3/18/26 while in Spring Break, and let me tell you, they or should I say we all had a blast. Patrick or captain was super friendly, funny, knowledgeable, and great with the kids. His crew Brandon and Eric were also really great. We really enjoyed seeing the dolphins swim along the boat and also loved how Brandon was really knowledgeable and the marine life he had on deck and showed the kids and allowed them to touch and hold them. I highly recommend this dolphin tour to everyone... you won't be disappointment. We will definitely be going back for another tour.
