Amazing trip - Amazing captain. Fun, educational, safe, well run operation. We came with three kids (8, 5, and 3) on a cold February afternoon. Saw lots of dolphins and the kids and adults had a blast. Thank you!

Great way to see something different - Went on the dolphin Eco tour for New Years day- it was wonderful. Captain Birdy and Captain Jenna- both did a great job. We got to see the river front and a few huge cargo ships, along with the water ways and salt marshes of the area. If you want to see some some unique and interesting ecology of the area this tour is great. The whole family can enjoy looking for dolphins, and a spotting wildlife in the marshes. We did see 2 Dolphins in the river, and we spent time watching them and following them, the Captain does a great job of spotting them and staying by them. We really enjoyed getting out on the water and seeing dolphins and nature.
