Really fun outing. Captain Kevin and crew Mary did a great job getting us to where the dolphins were playing and making the whole experience enjoyable. We had a really nice afternoon on the water. Good job and thank you!

Exceptional, informative, and Curt was a delight! In spite of the weather, our captain proved his experience dolphin guide. Took us to an amazing spot where dozens of dolphins were feeding. I’ve been on other dolphin cruises and none measure up to this one.
Great

It was amazing cruise. We saw lots of dolphins right away. Our captain did a great job and Mark taught us all about dolphins. How they sleep, what they eat among other interesting tidbits. They were very funny also and the music was great. Everyone had a great time!! The boat itself was comfortable with cushion seats which I appreciated due to a troublesome lower back issues. I would choose the Jolly Dolphin tours everytime.
Good experience !

It was a very good time ! Our daughter really wanted to see dolphins for her birthday and Jolly Dolphin was exactly the experience we wanted . We got to see baby dolphin with mom, and many other dolphins that were actively hunting and chasing after fish . It was entertaining! Captain Roger and Mary were really nice ! Mary is a sweetheart who’s amazing with kids and adults alike . They kept it interesting the whole time! Music was good . Conversations interesting . Sailing smooth . Weather was beautiful!
