A must do trip! - We had such a great time with Captain Grant! We had 4 adults and 2 kids (8,5) on board. He was knowledgeable and engaging with everyone. We were able to see dolphins and aviary wildlife throughout our tour!

Would Absolutely Recommend! - Captain Matt and Sean were fabulous! Matt had tons of knowledge about the area, dolphins and the flora and fauna. We were lucky to see several dolphins feeding, manatees, and roseate spoon bill. The boat was clean and comfortable. We were provided with cold waters. It was a great experience!

Great Captain - We came for our 30th Anniversary and had an Excellent time. The Captain was very informative, friendly and made us feel at home. We saw lots of dolphins and a baby dolphin. The bay was beautiful. He showed us different birds and info about them. I highly recommend this. It was well worth the money.

Great tour for nature lovers - One of the best dolphin/nature tours! So much more than just looking for dolphins..and there were many. Loved the smaller boat with just a few other people. Dean is an amazing captain and so knowledgeable about the salt marshes, animals and history. He is also very personable and makes sure everyone has a great time, even the kids.

Good time, great value. - My wife and I signed up for a 10AM tour. We were in a small boat with 4 other people and our guide, Sebastian. Sebastian was very informative with a good sense of humor. We saw several Dolphin and a variety of birds. A very enjoyable tour at a very reasonable price.

Not what i expected - We were expecting to see more wild life and more of the natural beauty. It was more riding around in a boat chasing dolphins. Rather than watching them.

Bad experience - Our issue was not with the tour bit booking through Viator. I tapped the bar for the 3:30 tour and unbeknownst to me it booked for 8am. Inspite of my calls to the tour group itself and Viator I was told I would have to pay again for the 3:30 tour, which we didn't want to do. Very poor customer service on both sides.
