Awesome dolphin cruise - Loved it! The guides met up with another boat, and the dolphins swam in between the two boats! Exhilarating experience.

This was our first time... - This was our first time doing a dolphin excursion. The staff were friendly and attentive to our questions providing knowledge of the dolphins and the area.
We were unable to go out to the gulf due to the roughness but the captain located the dolphins in the bay.
With another boat beside ours, they caused enough waves for the dolphin to put on a show for all of us.
We give our thanks to the captain and crew for such an awesome experience.

Highly recommended 15/10 ! - We sat on the top deck. Once we found dolphins it was amazing to see them jumping and playing in the wake. We got amazing video. When we have family or friends come visit they usually want to take a dolphin tour. This was the best dolphin tour we have been on. My parents were very impressed.

Pleasant surprise. - We were about 45 minutes into our cruise and we looked at one another thinking that we were not going to see any dolphins. But than the captain spoke saying that he spotted some. ( I think they have sonar). Then he teamed up with another cruise and created a spectacular show that we could almost touch the dolphins.

Nice people leading the... - Nice people leading the tour, looked like a family run business with the son counting people on board. 1 good dolphin sighting.
Marketed as 1.5 to 2 hr tour, we were docked to disembark at 1 hr 15 min. Visitors pay for the on-water experience, dolphins or no dolphins, you should keep people on the water long enough to meet their minimum expectation.

Fun and relaxing - This was a pleasant afternoon out on the water looking for dolphins. The tour did not include information about the geography or ecology or history.
