Pods of dolphins! - The captain and staff were very accommodating and we saw pods of dolphins just after leaving the dock. It’s a very relaxing ride, educational, and the sunset was beautiful! We definitely recommend this tour!

Amazing sunset cruise - My wife and I went on this cruise recently. Was so easy to book reservations online. The cruise itself was great. Saw a few dolphins but the scenery was just beautiful. Amazing sunset views. Also (and this is important)- the one doing commentary about the area (the captain I think) was excellent. He was extremely knowledgeable BUT didn’t talk too much- just enough to make the excursion perfect. I would highly recommend Vagabond Cruises. P.S.- never knew that a Bay was different than a Sound. Now I do! Love learning new things.

This was our best dolphin boat ride ever. - Ever take a dolphin cruise and you're bored after 15 minutes because you've already seen too many dolphins? Us either until this trip. This was our 6th or 7th dolphin cruises and this was by far the best one we've done. We enjoyed the information and going in the creeks. Would absolutely do this one again and again.

A GREAT experience! - Great cruise. The captain went out of his way to make sure we saw dolphins and spent a lot of time explaining about the habitat, nature and the islands around us. Perfect experience.
