Plan B - when life gives you lemons, go on a dolphin tour! - Such a fun simple activity. Capt Brian was great, great trivia questions and shared fun facts about the area and historical boats around the harbor. Dolphins were playful to watch and didn't disappoint. Easy, 45 minute tour great for all ages.

Amazing great time! - Super fun and Captain Victor was hilarious and energetic! We got to watch dolphins playing ahead of huge ship, jumping up out of the water and there was a baby too! Just fantastic time and totally worth the price. Would have paid more! Thanks for the memories!

Great Experience for the Money - We made this a last minute addition to a girl's trip. The hour on the boat led by Captain Bryan was fun and relaxing. We saw plenty of dolphins - but you have to watch quick - they are in and out of the water before you can catch them with your camera. I found it more enjoyable to put my phone down and just enjoy the trip and the dolphins. Capt Bryan gave great insights into the buildings and ships we were seeing and this view of Galveston Harbor area is worth the price of the boat. Thank you for an enjoyable afternoon. Trip is short - less than an hour, bathrooms on board but only for peeing - no #2. Easy on and off.

Informative and fun! - Wow! Fantastic tour. Highly recommended. The staff was informative and friendly. Toured around the bay and did see dolphins. But just the informative boat ride alone was worth the trip. Went on the sunset tour and it was delightful. BYOB.

We LOVED this Tour! - We had a fantastic experience on our dolphin tour with Baywatch Dolphin Tours in Galveston, Texas. The captain provided great educational insights and historical context. Watching the dolphins, especially a mother and her baby, was a highlight. The boat was spacious and had a bathroom (only for #1), and they offered soft drinks and water for $2. Highly recommend this tour!

Awesome sunset tour - Lots & lots of dolphins. Did not disappoint. Captain did great telling us all about the various vessels in the harbor. We did the sunset tour and was beyond tickled to catch a photo of dolphin in front of the sunset.
