Sandbar & Dolphins 4hr (PM) • 6 adults • 2 childrenWe have four boys ages 11,12,18, and 19, and they love nature. Thanks to Isander, we saw dolphins, found sea urchins, sand dollars, whelks, starfish, brittle starfish, blue crabs, hermit crabs, and more. They went snorkeling and used a paddle board for the first time. It was such a relaxing day and was absolutely the highlight of our trip. Islander was very knowledgeable and kind, and I would book the trip again in a heartbeat.
Response from Charter operatorThank you for giving me and Bay2Bay Tours the opportunity to host a fun experience for the family! I'm glad everyone had a great time, and I look forward to next time 🏝️☀️🐬

2 Hr – Stunning Sunset Cruise • 2 adultsWhat a fun way to celebrate my birthday! We chose the private option and it was so worth it. We cruised around and then headed to see the sunset. We had charcuterie board with champagne. Lots of special little touches were added and Isander and Ruth were the perfect hosts! And Ruths cupcakes ...unbelievable and we spotted 2 dolphins after sunset. What a wonderful birthday memory!
Response from Charter operatorThank you for a nice review and we are very happy you both enjoyed the experience while celebrating the special occasion. It was great being able to host the trip, but a bigger pleasure meeting you both. We look forward to a next time!

6 Hr – The AMI FULL Experience • 5 adults • 1 childThe captain was a great guy and was very friendly to me and my family. He was very knowledgeable about all things marine related and took us to some excellent spots. We had such a fun time snorkeling, paddle boarding, looking for shells and just hanging in the water. As a bonus, we also saw some dolphins that came within 20’ of our boat!!
Response from Charter operatorI'm glad I was able to host a great experience for your family, and I enjoyed having everyone onboard! Thank you for choosing Bay2Bay Tours, and until next time! 🏝️☀️🐬
