Memorable - Great communication through calls and texts. The Frisky Mermaid Dolphin Tour made our whole trip. Even though it was only 58 degrees, we still seen dolphins. LOVED when they swam with the boat. Make sure to tell them before hand if you are celebrating a birthday! Thank you Captain, Ali, and Franky!

Frisky boat tours is like no other experience on this body of water - This is our 2nd time we have toured with these guys and I will say once again WHAT A BLAST!! Seen numerous dolphins and learned a lot about the mammals and about the bodies of water. We had 4 in our group along with other's the boat was not crowded like other tour boats are. The tour is worth way more than the price for sure. We will definitely book again. As far as wondering if the tour is worthy YES IT IS!! They have a restroom and sell munchies and different things to drink like soda juice and water. Don't forget to tip on your way out and off the vessel. Well worth all of it!! Don't hesitate just do it and youll see the fantastic time you will have on the water. M.j was our narrator and she is one of a kind. ENJOY YOU'LL LOVE IT
