Worth the time and money. - Our tour guide Mike was a great guide. He was great at pointing out local sites. He made sure to slow down and stopped giving everyone a chance to see the dolphins. We even got to see manatees. Very nice ride and great site seeing.

Great experience - The captains, Mike and JD did such a great job. They worked very hard to make sure that we saw dolphins and we even experienced the dolphins at play! What a fun trip for all of us! The age range of our group was 67-8 and we all loved it!

Dolphins in AMI - We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Ben at the helm. Second time we’ve done this and it does not disappoint. Enjoyable ride watching dolphins play very close to the boat. Would recommend.

Enjoyable Experience on the Water - Very enjoyable morning out on the water. Two hours perfect amount of time to be on the water watching for Dolphins. Captain and crew made sure we found the best spot to view. Water on-board. Went on the early side (noon). Full boat.

2 Hour Dophin Tour - The guide was very knowledgeable and shared great information throughout the tour. However, we only saw one dolphin, which was disappointing—especially for my children. The experience was advertised as guaranteeing dolphin sightings, so we had expected to see more.

Disrespectful boomer - The dock master can keep his mouth shut and be respectful worst experience ever.

Not good - The dock master was very arrogant and said I wasn’t allowed to fish when the hotel stated it was okay to do so. He was very rude a threatening.
