5.00Wendy and Captain Kate took good care of us for a beautiful 90 min out on the water. With many dolphins sighted plus a little fun history and sightseeing. We did not have our kids but this is perfect for families. Hope it is sunny and warm!

5.00Nicest boats of all the dolphin tours. Great captain and crew. Really engaged with the passengers sharing local knowledge of the lands and waters. They knewwhere to find the dolphins and the dolphins seem to enjoy seeing them again. I would highly recommend for young and old.

5.00We really enjoyed our Dolphin Boat Cruise. Cpt Craig, Kate and Michelle did a wonderful job and we saw many dolphins. The music was great and helped make the cruise a really fun experience. There were about 15-20 on the tour, which allowed for us to move around for better views when dolphins were spotted. The crew also took pictures of each couple or group with their own cameras, which was a nice touch.
A Great Dolphin Experience

5.00Capt Steve & Guide Michelle were fun & knowledgeable. We saw a lot of dolphins, music was great & boat was comfortable. It was mid March, sunny with 60 degree temps but much cooler on the water. Bring extra layers!!
