Great experience for young and old. - We were lucky enough to see dolphins up so close. A very informative tour, the time seemed to fly by. Well worth the money.

Search for dolphins - The trip was well organized and the skipper was very friendly and had a lot to tell. At the beginning you drive through the harbor and can look at old sailing boats and boats that are being restored. Then you drive into the estuary and first see old ships in the "ship graveyard". There are also supposed to be dolphins in this area. Since the number of dolphins in this region is manageable, it seems to be down to luck that you get to see any. Unfortunately we didn't see any. We wouldn't do the trip again, there was too much harbor and too little nature for us.

Sadly disappointed - A dolphin cruise (cost $80) that sees no dolphins ... in an area that's basically the cess pool of years of industry - beautiful day to be on the river - but I counted $1440 made (ie 18 X $80) on a "Dolphin tour" that didn't see one single dolphin ... clearly the extremely low tide was the reason... Tides are recorded and known well before the date - why then offer tours when tide is extremely low. Disgusted and appalled this operator can get away with it... I was even told to move out of my seat...
