2 Hour – Sunset Dolphin Tour

Brother’s lemonade

VERIFIED

The weather wasn’t ideal, so we weren’t sure how the trip would play out…the brothers stepped up and helped us make the best of the trip! We seen lots of dolphins, learned a lot about dolphins including how they sleep (not with both eyes closed 😂), learned about the area and got to see a semi sunset! It was an awesome experience despite the uncooperative weather 🤪…we made lemonade out of lemons 😂

2 Hour – Dolphin Tour (3:30 PM)

Had a great time.

My family took the 10:am trip. Our guide was friendly as was the Captain. They found an area that had so many dolphins. They were literally everywhere you looked. The dolphins were playful which was fun to watch and several came up to the boat. Got to see two baby's too. It turned out to be more than we expected. We had a really fun time the whole trip!

Great Experience! So many dolphins!

VERIFIED

Our captain and mate were fantastic, especially for just being a substitute crew. Couldn’t have asked for a better time, except for maybe the city history part that was supposed to be part of the trip. But they delivered on the dolphins and that’s what we were there for. We truly enjoyed the experience!
