Excellent trip

2 Hour – Sunset Dolphin Tour2 adults1 child

The captain went out of his way to make sure everyone saw the dolphins up close. My granddaughter loved it. Everyone was so excited to see them. The ride back was so peaceful. Thanks to all!!!

Response from Charter operator

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that your July 8th, 6:00 p.m. dolphin cruise was such a memorable experience. Our captain always enjoys making sure everyone has the best opportunity to see the dolphins, and we're so glad your granddaughter loved seeing them up close—it truly makes the trip special. There's nothing quite like a peaceful evening ride back on the water after an exciting dolphin encounter. Thank you for choosing to spend part of your day with us, and we hope to welcome you and your family aboard again soon!

    Overall a very enjoyable ride

    2 Hour – Sunset Dolphin Tour3 adults

    We did get to see dolphins and the sunset which was awesome and the highlight of the trip, but going out was kind of a slow boring ride, I think the captain could have cracked a couple jokes or something, tell us a little bit about the outer banks islands, what we were looking at or something

    Response from Charter operator

    I’m sorry you felt this way. A pontoon is definitely a leisurely ride. Sometimes when the wind is blowing it is hard to hear everything the captain and crew are saying.

    Boat left

    2 Hour – Dolphin Tour (3:00 PM)3 adults2 children

    We were there at least 15 minutes early along with 3 other people and the boat had already left. We did not reschedule due to our limited time on vacation. This was extremely disappointing for my 2 children. The captain needs to make sure he doesn't leave until the time that is scheduled. We would not recommend this tour to anyone. Fortunately someone finally figured out how to give me a refund after three people finally called to get the ok. This was a horrible experience.
