Expect lots of fun and exciting Dolphin encounters on our tour! From time to time, we have water battles with several other vessels that we encounter while out on the water (rarely on the Sunset Cruise). If the Dolphin are feeling playful, they often surf in our boat wake while we are cruising, so have those cameras ready! Cruise time is 1 1/2 to 2 hours

Pleasant ride, even on a windy day. Beautiful sunset at the ending of the evening tour. From inside the cabin you are close to the dolphins at times.

This was a great experience with our family- kids aged 9 and 16. The crew was good with the kids and very talkative even sharing some building facts along the way. We got to see some dolphins in their natural element. The on hand snacks to purchase was a bonus for the kids. I accidentally booked a future date and they accommodated me without any problem. We felt very safe. The crew interaction made you feel you were on a ride with family. Highly recommend!

Parking and check in were easy. The cruise was comfortable and we saw lots of dolphins. Janine was very helpful sharing info about the area and dolphins. We even saw the blue angels do a flyover! It was a great cruise for all ages.

Started out slow, but we eventually got some dolphins racing along with us. Jake & Janine were great; funny & informative. We got to see a beautiful sunset as well. Dolphin trivia on the way back in was a good time. Great for families.
