AMAZING!!
I can’t say enough good things about this boat trip. It was perfect for our family of five consisting of kids ages 7-13. The amount of dolphins we saw was unreal. We even had the friendliest dolphin come up to our boat! Seashell Island was the best part. Absolutely breathtaking! We ran around, explored, collected seashells and enjoyed the breathtaking views! We reeled in a couple of fish while cruising the water also. Captain Jeff was incredible. He was so kind, flexible, and knowledgeable.

Best trip ever!
We had the best time with Capt Trent! We got to see and do so much and he is so knowledgeable about the different areas. We saw dolphins, hunted for sand dollars, snorkeled around Shell Island and took in the views along the way. This trip was perfect for our kids (two 8 yr old boys and a 2 yr old). We will definitely book again with Trent. You will not regret spending some time on his boat!

Dolphin Trip with Capt Rob
We weren’t sure what to expect, but Saltwater Safaris PCB exceeded everything. Within the first part of the trip we were already on dolphins swimming right beside the boat. After that, we explored around Shell Island and got in the water for a bit. The best part was that nothing felt rushed—it was just our group and the captain made it all about what we wanted to do. Easily the highlight of our trip.
