Paid a lot of money and didn’t see a single dolphin

2 Hour Island Cruise/Dolphins - 4:00 PM6 adults2 children

The boat and the captain were nice, however we booked this trip as a dolphin tour. We had our two grandchildren with us who had never seen the dolphins and unfortunately we didn’t see one at all in the two hours we were on the boat. I don’t feel like this is the captains fault, however we got a general overall idea that the company knew the likelihood of seeing them was low and they should have cancelled our tour or rescheduled it. This was a $450.00 trip plus $100.00 tip the the captain and we did not get the experience we paid for. We weren’t even offered a discount or the possibility of booking another trip for a discounted rate. It was very disappointing.

    Disappointed

    1.5 Hour Island Cruise/Dolphins PM • 4 adults • 2 children

    We waited at the marina for over a hour to find out that our original boat we booked was having issues. The lady at Romar Marina was super unfriendly. Then we were picked up by a tiki bar boat (not at all what we wanted). The whole point of why we booked was to relax and enjoy sightseeing of dolphins. It says dolphin cruise, so we were expecting to go out into the gulf and actually see some dolphins but instead, we never left the channel and only saw 1 (thankfully) at the very last minute. It was definitely not worth the money… in my opinion.
