100/10 experience!! - This was such an incredible experience! We saw so many dolphins and our guides were amazing. Got to learn so many cool dolphin facts, the complimentary wine was delicious, the sunset was gorgeous, and of course seeing so many dolphins was the highlight. We would 100% do it again!

Amazing sunset and Dolphin viewing with free beer and wine. - We had a great experience on the Hubbard dolphin sunset cruise. The day had been very foggy and it was still foggy over the gulf when we took off. We first toured the bay and the staff gave great information on the area. It was a beautiful relaxing cruise with free beer and a fun staff. Then the fog started to clear and we went out into the gulf for an amazing sunset! On our return to the bay we were greeted by dolphins swimming right by the boat.
