5.00The Captain and mate were great!! They made sure to get to the area where the dolphins were. We were very excited to see the dolphins up so close. They made sure everyone on board knew what would happen next. There was several children on board. They made sure they were safe at all times.
Awesome

5.00The weather was perfect and we saw plenty of dolphins. The Captain was very friendly and helpful. His “First Mate,” Mary, was a bundle of energy and was especially good with the kids as well as the adults. I would highly recommend the cruise to anyone who’s looking for a delightful time.
Book this tour!

5.00Great for kids of all ages! We saw several pods of dolphiins. The captain and tour guide/dolphin expert made it a fun! Bring a jacket if you go on a windy day.
Worth every penny and then some!

5.00Fantastic experience! 10x better than the last dolphin cruise with a different crew. Only suggestion would be to add a cash app scan code to tip the captain and first mate! Really wanted to tip but dont carry cash. We'll definitely be back!
Great Trip On The Water!

5.00My family loved this dolphin cruise! We saw so many dolphins, even a baby dolphin the size of a football. Mary was a great tour guide and kept the children entertained the whole time. I highly recommend Jolly Dolphin Cruises!
