Big hassle booking through TripAdvisor. A TripAdvisor issue, not tour issue. Speaking to the tour company directly, they were helpful. As far as the tour itself, it was rather disappointing. We saw a handful of dolphins in the first 5-10 minutes and then never another one. It got long with young children & not seeing many dolphins.

Had a great time - saw several dolphins and learned a lot about the area. Was a great way to see more of the surrounding area Easy to book and very reasonably priced.

Was definitely worth the price, nice relaxing trip around the island waters, seen plenty of wild life and dolphins. Captain talked about the history of parts of the island. About an 1 and 45 minutes tour, family friendly, water was perfect, easy location to find the meet up point.

What a lovely tour! For an hour and a half we enjoyed the beauty and sights in the water and along the shore and the excitement of the dolphins playing in the water and chasing after the boat! Patrick and Brandon did a fabulous job of interacting with us on the boat. While Patrick guided the boat and shared infomation with us, Brandon walked around the boat talking with us individually and in small groups sharing stories and information about the dolphins and other sea animals he's seen in the bay and gulf. We really enjoyed being able to talk with Brandon, hear his stories and ask him questions in addition to Patrick's commentary and information which was directed to the whole group. The music in the background was carefully selected to blend in with the sights around us also. It was a great way to enjoy the water, race with the dolphins and watch them play, learn some new things, and get some moments of zen when the boat slowed down for us to just soak in the vibes. When we docked, the sun sank below the horizon making it the perfect ending to a lovely little cruise! Thanks to the great team of Patrick and Brandon and the playful dolphins who accompanied us. I highly recommend this tour. We'll definitely return for another ride.

Two thumbs up for this excursion! The Captain and crew were knowledgeable of the sites to see in the area and gave us a great tour of the bay. We saw a lot of dolphins who come close to the boat and frolic in thier environment. You can’t beat the value for what you get on this tour.
