I have been on the dolphin racer before and loved it. My husband has never been on one so when we finally made it back to Florida, I had to take him on it. We BOTH loved it! Can't go wrong on the water, dolphin watching, and people watching! Weather was perfect. The energy and "family friendly" jokes from boat staff were wonderful! We will be back! Thank you!

The best way to see dolphins close to the boat and enjoy their jumps is to go with the dolphin racer boat. Amazing show

A great experience and really enjoyed this tour. Captain Dave did a terrific job of explaining everything and making sure to go to areas so he could find dolphins and produced a enjoyable wake for the jump loving dolphins! Highly recommended this tour; it’s a goid value too.

Dolphin racer was cute little adventure. It took us a little while to find them but we did get to see a few. A few tips: sit as far back as possible!! The captain stated that the dolphins will go to the back of the boat and that was 100% true. We didn’t really get a good view except once because we sat in the front. Also bring your own water, they have water but it’s $3 a bottle cash and with as hot as it gets when you’re coming back in and there’s no breeze you’ll definitely need it.

Great boat tour! We took our two daughters aged 3 and 12 and they both enjoyed the ride. The captain was engaging and fun. Watching the dolphins ride the waves at the back of the boat was so much fun. Bring a towel to put over the scorching metal benches and a small cooler of drinks. They do have drinks for sale incase you forget. Hats and sunglasses are a must. Great way to see the surrounding area.

You need to be very alert ,when the dolphins are around the boat, so you can take good video and photos. It was a fabulous experience.

Fun time if you sit in the back. You don’t see the dolphins unless you’re near the back and some people don’t want to share the experience. I guess there’s no way the people in charge can enforce any kind of a rotation for everyone to have the same amount of fun.
