100% book this trip - Scott, Monica and our other crew member were all amazing. We had a tough time finding dolphins but they went above and beyond to make sure we had an enjoyable trip and an eventual sighting, the clouds rolled in so the sunset didnt cooperate, but it was still very memorable.

Dolphin boat tour - Captain was knowledgeable and found a fairly large pod of dolphins Rest of the crew was pleasant I’ve been on other dolphin tours, this one was really good w lots of dolphin contact. As I understand the deal, if we had not spotted dolphins another tour would have been free.

Great tour, lots of dolphins - This was our second year taking this tour, and both were fantastic. Captain Lynn and crew are knowledgeable and fun. The frozen drinks are delicious. The boat is comfortable with plenty of shade for those who want it. We saw lots of dolphins and sea birds and other interesting sites. My kids even got to drive the boat. We definitely recommend Cetacean Cruises!

Just what we were looking for in an evening dolphin cruise. - Our experience on the sunset dolphin cruise was great! Captain Lynn, Justine, and Monica were so friendly and knowledgeable. We saw lots of wildlife and plenty of dolphine. The boat and crew made the trip enjoyable and were accomdating to folks with special physical needs as well as small children. It’s a good long trip (2 hours) and great value for the money. We would go back again.
