Fantastic Dolphin Tour - Captain Adam made the experience great. He had an outgoing personality and knew how to make people laugh. He was also very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this experience.

Dolphin Tour on March 23, 2025 at 11 am - Engaging and knowledgeable crew. Good jokes and saw several dolphins up close some of them in small groups.

Galveston Bay tour - Our tour told us about Cruise line terminals that existed and were being built, the SS Texas, and oil drilling platforms. We saw some porpoise, but never really close up. I expected more wildlife and closer views of porpoise. Our captain was courteous and provided brief information on each topic. The cost was roughly $0.50 per minute, so not unreasonable for a tourist attraction.

Okay - just not special - This tour was just okay. It was a beautiful day, the boat wasn’t crowded, and we did spot a few dolphins, but all-in-all there just wasn’t much to this tour. We stayed right in the congested harbor area, which is very industrialized - shipping ports, military vessels, cruise line docks - definitely not very scenic. As I said, it was okay but nothing special.

Viator is a SCAM - DO NOT BOOK WITH VIATOR. They charge for the tour but they do not communicate with the tour operator so when you arrive, your tickets are invalid.
