Glad we did it. - Had a great tour with Captain Dan. Saw a bunch of dolphin and coastal birds. Good commentary on cultural and ecological history. We've seen hundreds of dolphins and really just wanted to be out on the water. We got that plus the dolphins!

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!
