Up close with the dolphins - BEYOND a wonderful experience. Our entire family had an amazing time on our boat tour. Captain Hunter got us up super close to dolphins. Then we just hopped right off the boat in with them. We never felt rushed and we were constantly asked what else we would like to see or do . While checking in we met the owner who you can tell takes great pride in the business and making his customers happy. We will most definitely be returning next year!

The best Dolphin Tour Ever - The best Dolphin Tour! I would definitely recommend you ask for Captain Thomas Brady (Tom Brady). Not only was he extremely knowledgeable and kind but it was all around great vibes and he will get you as close to the dolphins as safely as he can. He made this tour the best part of our trip and we will definitely be coming back.

Dolphin experience - Our energetic guide Thomas was focused on finding pods of dolphins. He did just that and we were able to jump in when he spotted them. Thank you Thomas for making it a memorable day!

We saw a ton of dolphins.... - We saw a ton of dolphins. We didn’t swim with them, I’m assuming, cause the water was very choppy. Our guide, Thomas, was really great. He was super nice and fun.

Phenomenal Experience! - Captain Hunter was absolutely fabulous! I couldn't be happier with our experience. We had multiple opportunities to swim with large pods of dolphins, which was truly unforgettable. We had opportunity to swim/snorkel at beautiful Shell Island. Everything was well-organized, and you could tell how knowledgeable and passionate he is about what he does. Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for something unique and amazing.

Salty Fins is a great Adventure! - Joe, Joe our captain was fantastic! Found a huge pod of dolphins for us right away! Our kids had 3 occasions to swim with them. Then we anchored at Shell island for the kids to snorkel, he supplied everything including small nets to catch creatures and he would educate them on what they caught and if alive to return it to the ocean. They came home with lots of shells and so excited with their experience! The “kids” were 25 yrs old! Enjoyable st any age. Life jackets for all!

Captain Hunter is Phenomenal - Captain Hunter was phenomenal! I’m so above and beyond content with this trip. He took us to a few different places. We were able to swim with a pod of dolphins in a few locations. We then went to the island where we snorkeled around and played in aquatic wildlife! My family was so happy they did stop talking about it for the rest of today! If you are thinking about booking this, don’t hesitate jump on it! Completely worth it! Captain took awesome videos and photos as well!
