Dolphin Watching Tour (4:00 PM)
Best boat trip ever!
I took my kids and granddaughter on this boat tour to see dolphins. There were six of us. It was nothing short of miraculous!! We saw dolphins, many species of birds, and learned some history as well. Chad was the most amazing, friendly, and knowledgeable person for this, our first time endeavor. I can’t say enough about how wonderful Chad was, and how special this experience was for our family. I highly recommend this boating experience to anyone who loves the water and the nature it holds.

Sunset Boat Cruise (7:00 PM)
Just book it!
We had the best time on our sunset boat trip! Captain Chad was awesome—super friendly and made the whole experience easy and fun. The view was incredible, and the smaller, more intimate boat was such a nice change from the big crowded ones. Our kids had a blast, and honestly, so did we. Would definitely do it again next time we’re in town! Highly recommend it if you’re looking for a fun and relaxing evening on the water.

Great Dolphin Tour!
We chartered the boat to search for dolphins with our two small children. Liam was our captain and he was fantastic. He knew all the tricks and spots on where to find dolphins. The highlight was watching the dolphins jump in front of the tankers coming into the channel. Our children (3 and 5) thought it was awesome! We will definitely book with this group again.

Boating with Chad
Chad was so nice and he made every effort to get close to the dolphins. It is a private family ride and my granddaughters loved the trip. My phone died and he got his charger set up for me so I could continue taking photos. Thanks Chad for the special tour and local inside information!! We will see you again, the Wimberley crew.

Great Dolphin Tour
We had a great time on our dolphin tour with Captain Chad. We must have seen 20+ dolphins. The best part was seeing mamas with their babies encouraging them to surface for air. Captain Chad had a lot of interesting history to share. It was all so special for a birthday outing with family.
