Justin "Captain" was very kind and welcoming. His mate who is also a CG certified Captain was amazing. She served cold drinks and took care of all the dolphin watchers. Their knowledge of the waters, wildlife, and historical area are immense. Justin kept us positioned to have a perfect up close view of two different types of Dolphin. He also did a great job navigating other boats like the shrimp boat "Lisa Suzanne". That was an interesting part of the trip learning about the seafood industry in the area. Great job captain and crew. If you are looking for an excellent way to watch the beautiful HHI sunset, this is the one. DO IT! Jim G

90 minute tour just before sunset on beautiful water what’s not to like. Our captain did a great job of narrating and finding the dolphins. Thought seeing mom and baby together was great until the highlight near end of ride when two dolphins rode our bow for quite a while. Fun afternoon
The dolphins and sunset did not disappoint!
