5.00The Captain and crew added to the positive experience. I've been on several dolphin and sunset cruises. For my family that was with me, it was their first. Of all the ones I've been on, this is the one I would recommend over the others.
Fantastic way to spend the evening.

5.00There were five of us in our party - three adults and two small children - ages 2 and 6. It was a fabulous experience for all of us. The most exciting part was the return when the dolphins were surfing in our wake. Mary was our deck hand and provided a lot of helpful information. She was also great with kids. Highly recommend this tour. The captain didn't d a fabulous job as well.

5.00Capt Steve and Mary made this trip fun and super interesting. We saw many dolphins playing, jumping, and surfing! Did you know bottlenose dolphins whistle from their blowholes and blush in their bellies when excited? You’ll learn that and more! So glad we picked this trip.
