5.00Cindy guided us at every step, which was helpful because Saturday morning’s weather could have gone either way. It was perfect, as were Miah and James who shared historical tidbits in addition to Pensacola’s dolphins. We saw plenty. Very impressed.
A great trip.

5.00We had a great experience with Captain Paul and Mary on our cruise. We saw an amazing number of dolphins in the bay. We have done other dolphin cruises in other parts of Florida, but this one was by far the best. Highly recommend.

5.00Wow! I was extremely satisfied with this tour! Mary, our “deck hand” was very knowledgeable, providing interesting facts about dolphins. She was also very entertaining! I didn’t expect to see so many dolphins, as I know that they have no control over that. But they must know where the pods are located, and they did not disappoint! Of course, I’ve forgotten the captains name, but he was great too. It was an experience beyond my expectations.
Awesome

5.00So awesome! Started with a warm welcome. Mary and Carson were a great team. We seen a bunch of dolphins and they stuck around the boat until it was time to head back to shore. Mary engaged everyone and made us all feel seen and important. She has a talent. I would highly recommend this cruise. It was awesome from beginning to end. Only problem was that it ended too soon. Guess that means we will have to come back.
