Wendy and Kate were great guides! Their enthusiasm and excitement kept the kids (ages 9 and 11) engaged the whole time. I definitely recommend this experience.

Kids in our family from 1 to 92 enjoyed Dolphins and Donuts very much. Mary and Paige were very informative and encouraged all participants to get involved. Grammy walked with a cane and our granddaughter is in a wheelchair. Extra care was taken to get all 14 of us on board safely. In fact, Safety was key throughout the entire ride. We were on the 8:30 am ride and saw many dolphins on all sides of the boat. The donuts were fresh and quite a variety and the drinks were very cold. We learned so much about dolphins, about the marsh areas, and other islands nearby. What a great family trip!

Make sure to track the weather. Our captain and first mate did a wonderful job of getting us back to shore quickly when a storm was upon us, but it was scary!

Cruise was nice. Didn’t see a lot of dolphins. Wasn’t easy to eat & drink on the boat. Didn’t feel it was worth $55.
