Voted #1 Small Dolphin Tour on the coast, we deliver a stand out tour searching for pods of bottlenose dolphins rather than repeating a pre-determined route and a spiel.
Once we find a dolphin pod, we hang out while calling them over to the boat. You will become part of our quest to reconnect with the individuals we know and love. Your experienced captain, Kelley Burnett, knows these waters inside and out and specializes in dolphin watching, eco tours, scenic boat rides, and breathtaking sunset cruises.
Whether you want to relax on the bow sundeck, enjoy the shade under the bimini, or spot playful dolphins in their natural habitat, there’s something for everyone.
You’re welcome to bring drinks—including alcohol and red wine—and children and pets are more than welcome aboard, making this a truly family-friendly adventure.
Yes, we only have 2 reviews on this site as we are brand new here but check us out on Google maps under Dolphin Connection Ingleside, and you will see we have a
4.9 rating with over 245 5-star reviews.
We do require our passengers to be in fairly good physical shape as you will be stepping down into the boat to board. If you can't walk up and down stairs or get up on your own off the floor, then you should book a bigger boat.
From peaceful coastal exploration to unforgettable wildlife encounters, your day on Dolphin Connection Ingleside will be one to remember. Don’t wait—book your trip today and get ready for the adventure of a lifetime!

Kelly was awsome! She is very flexible and welcoming. I was very hesitant at first cause i have a 1.5year old but it was awsome! The whole family enjoyed the experience. She has an open dialogue with you throughout the entire experience and it was a lot more personal which made the experience that much better. we saw so many dolphins with their babies and saw multiple pods of dolphins. We were also able to see a dolphin jump in the air with a fish in its mouth. definitely recommend. Follow the dolphin connection signs when you go. I was initially confused because the ad says dolphin dreams.
Thank you Beronica!!! I so enjoyed the friendly and warmth of your company and I’m glad you liked our dolphins!!!❤️🐬❤️🐬❤️🐬❤️🕺❤️🐬❤️🐬❤️
Today my husband and I had an incredible journey with Captain Kelly )))) This incredible lady immediately met us with a smile and created that incredible feeling when you meet someone for the first time in your life, but it seems as if you have long been close friends))) She showed and told us about dolphins, about ships that were nearby. The conversation was very interesting, but the main thing, of course, is dolphins! We observed how these incredible creatures were busy chasing fish, saw a newborn dolphin with its mother and much more. Thank you very much to Captain Kelly for a fun and quality pastime. I recommend her tour to everyone))) You won't regret it! 10/10
Thank you so much Alsu and Lorne!!! You two made my day!!
My daughter and I came for a gymnastics meet and wanted to find something we could do the morning of her meet. Captain Kelly was amazing. There was a dense fog when we had it booked and she called me to postpone it until the fog lifted. It was great communication. She called me about an hour later, told me it had lifted and waited a good 45 minutes for us to get there. We saw some amazing pods, she even told us about the shrimp boats and we watched them pull their shrimp in. I highly recommend taking this tour if you get a chance!!
Thank you Ashlee and Emma!!! I was so glad we caught the shrimper and got to see a brand new baby newborn. Ya’ll’s enthusiasm was catching!!! Thank you!!!
I'm starting to think Captain Kelley knows the dolphins. We went out saw them almost immediately and then went on to find a pod of 8 or so dolphins with their babies, swimming all around our boat. she was very personable and my family and I had a great time.
Thank you soooo much Ryan!! I thoroughly enjoyed ya’lls company!!
Capt Kelley was very willing to work around the bad weather so that we could get in our excursion. Our family of 4 had a great time. We saw dozens of dolphins including a momma teaching her baby how to fish. Highly recommend!
Thank you Katy!!! I’m so glad we got to see some babies and mommas!!! Thank you so much for choosing us!!

Kelley restarted Dolphin Connection when she retired from teaching to live in Ingleside by the Bay in June 2020. Kelley has been trying to get close to marine life as long as she can remember. She joined the Oceanic Society for two tours near Grand Bahama island to study the Atlantic Spotted Dolphin. In addition, Kelley has certified twice as a scuba diver. Her hobby -when she's not after dolphins- is gyotaku, the Japanese are of fish rubbing. Kelley confesses that nothing compares to spending time with the dolphins on their trips.
