Highly recommend!!!! - Very pretty views, nice staff. It takes about 30-40 min to get to the area with the dolphins but it’s 100% worth it!! We saw so many it was amazing! And then watching the sunset on the way back was a peaceful and enjoyable ride. There is an air conditioned area on the boat if you get too hot and snacks and cocktails for purchase.

Great trip and fantastic price - The dolphin tour was enjoyable and the staff exhibited exceptional friendliness and helpfulness. The Captain took the time to greet tour participants, address questions, and share his knowledge of the area. We spotted several dolphins. The boat was clean and the tour commenced punctually.

Great crew! Awesome family experience! - Incredible trip! The crew (Sheldon, Corbin, & Seth) were so much fun and very friendly! We learned so much about dolphins and the surrounding area through the info shared throughout the cruise. Our 8 year old loved Seth, the boat captain! We were on the top deck and had a blast with him! Thanks again for such a great family experience!

The dolphins enjoy... - The dolphins enjoy playing. They swim beside the boat, breaching and splashing and having a good time.

Fun, fun, fun. - We definitely saw dolphins, lots of them! We stayed in the canal/harbor so no need to worry about big waves or anything like that. Our only complaint was that we couldn’t hear the captain speaking when on the outside deck.

So Close! - The dolphins were so close, I could reach out and touch them, If I wanted! It was really cool. Ive never seen that many dolphins together at one time.

No dolphins, nice staff - We only saw jellyfish. Other companies guarantee dolphin sightings, but they apparently don’t. The staff was very friendly. The men’s restroom wasn’t functional and the ladies’ restroom smelled so horrendous that our daughter vomited. It was pretty rundown in looks and the advertised “sandwiches” weren’t actually true so we were starving by the time we were done. But, again, all of the staff were extremely nice. I don’t think we’d go in another cruise with this company, but we’d possibly consider it.

Fair - We traveled a short distance into the bay. Dolphin were seen in limited numbers for a brief time. The boat was rather crowded.

Meh experience. - Boat was crowded on deck rails, limited to 16 passengers on upper deck, when boat had over 100 loaded on. We only went to see pods swimming, no jumping or having dolphins chase us. No wake zone inner waters only, no Gulf open water cruising. Line for refreshments was long, and being last ride for the day, they were out of many items. Hard to hear over PA system with music still playing while they are talking. Much prefer the dual boat rides over this one.

Do not reccomend - Air conditioned 2nd floor observation deck very hot. Did not see dolphins. Did not see a sunset (was advertised as sunset dolphin cruise). Sound system very poor could not hear captain pointing out points of interest. Sat for 45 minutes just outside of jetties not under power I guess to save gas and induce seasickness. Did not play beach music. Would not reccomend ever.
