A wonderful experience for the price point, the crew was very friendly as we're the dolphins. it lasted about an hour and a half, the captain made sure to rotate the boat often so all the people on board could get pictures. there were a lot of people but that didn't bother us.

Couple from El Paso Texas whom happened to be passing through Harlingen Tx. Decided to stop at South Pardre Island & we booked this tour. Our tour guides were awesome whole guys. Our captain did a great job, felt safe. Saw Dolphins & they were actually swimming next to us along the front of the boat. The sunset was serene. Definitely recommend taking this opportunity. Was also affordable.

Relaxing Boat ride. Captain educated us along the way of our surroundings. Fun seeing the dolphins. No BIG dolphin jumps but many dolphins who resurfaced frequently. Shipmate showed us a crab and a starfish and educated us about them too! Overall great experience.

Pretty good, saw some dolphins and the sunset was really pretty. We went there in January so the wind was a little bit cold, bring a long sleeve shirt!

Everyone on the boat and working the docks were so kind. The tour was informative. We learned some history and things going on in the area. They also did a sea life exhibit and my kids got to hold some fish, which they were very excited about. We saw lots of dolphins. The crew was laid back and we loved that you could take food and drinks on the boat.
