beautiful tour to take in the evening to enjoy the sunset.

5.00We booked this tour through Viator a few days in advance. The team communicated ahead of time that the departure time could change or even be canceled due to weather. Our tour ended up being moved to an earlier time the day before. I did receive a couple of different text messages about the start time, which caused a little confusion on my end, but the crew communicated well and kindly waited for us before departing. The address synced perfectly with the GPS to the departure location. Parking was free and available right by the dock area, although note this will likely vary during peak tourist season. The tour itself was lovely. We had beautiful weather, and the crew was attentive and knowledgeable, sharing interesting history and stories about the bay throughout the ride. We saw dolphins and were able to capture plenty of videos and photos. This would be an especially beautiful tour to take in the evening to enjoy the sunset.
Wonderful small boat...

5.00Cindy guided us at every step, which was helpful because Saturday morning’s weather could have gone either way. It was perfect, as were Miah and James who shared historical tidbits in addition to Pensacola’s dolphins. We saw plenty. Very impressed.
