Four Generations Enjoyed Donuts and Dolphins - Kids in our family from 1 to 92 enjoyed Dolphins and Donuts very much. Mary and Paige were very informative and encouraged all participants to get involved. Grammy walked with a cane and our granddaughter is in a wheelchair. Extra care was taken to get all 14 of us on board safely. In fact, Safety was key throughout the entire ride. We were on the 8:30 am ride and saw many dolphins on all sides of the boat. The donuts were fresh and quite a variety and the drinks were very cold. We learned so much about dolphins, about the marsh areas, and other islands nearby. What a great family trip!

Fabulous!!! - Captain Spike and Michelle were just absolutely wonderful guides. We saw more dolphins than I can even count on both hands while leaving the marina! It was amazing. I loved the music, the vibe, the history; it was definitely an adventure worth taking.

Donuts & dolphins cruise - Cruise was nice. Didn’t see a lot of dolphins. Wasn’t easy to eat & drink on the boat. Didn’t feel it was worth $55.

Beautiful Day on the Ocean - We had a wonderful time with our captain/tour guide, Mary. She was so knowledgeable and shared some great stories with us. We would recommend you ask for her if you take this cruise. Not only was she a great captain, but she made sure we saw lots of Dolphins. The donuts were just a bonus!
