5.00We took the 3:30 tour on March 31, 2026. Our trip was phenomenal. Our captain and guide provided just the right amounts of science, history, and humor to keep everyone attentive. They confessed that the dolphins were a huge help. Dolphins treated us with feeding, acrobatics, and wake riding. We viewed dolphins for almost our entire tour. We had a blast!

5.00Matt Roger's and his mate were amazing. We saw probably close to 100 dolphins and learned way more. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.
A must see

5.00We had an amazing experience on the dolphin cruise. The boat was clean and newer and we felt very safe. The crew was knowledgeable about dolphins, where to find them and even recognized when the dolphins wanted to swim in the boats wake. We were so fortunate to encounter so many dolphins this day. What a wonderful adventure. Price was very reasonable. I would love to try the Blue Angels cruise next time I am in town!
Highly recommend this tour
