Captain Daniel was fantastic! The walk from the parking lot to the boat took longer than expected and that time came off our actual boat time. That was disappointing. Also the area where we went snorkeling was beautiful but the water wasn’t very clear and there wasn’t much to see underwater.

An absolute amazing experience visiting Raccoon Island and snorkelling with our fab captain Monica! The best part of our boat trip was without doubt seeing the dolphins - just amazing. Our trip was made all the better as we were able to meet and feed the raccoons (don’t forget to take some nuts for them)Thanks again to our host and Captain Monica who made the trip so much fun. 5* TRIP

From the description, we were expecting an actual tour. With some history about the area and different things to look at. We didn't feel like we got anywhere close to a tour. Our captain showed us the island where Tom Brady and Jeff Bezos have houses. And she showed Dexter’s place (from the show) and that’s abt it. The description made it sound like we’d see all sorts of marine life. We didn’t see any! It was very disappointing. When we snorkled, all we saw was sand. Oh and exoskeletons of snakes and snake holes, which kind of creeped us out. So really what we got was a very expensive boat ride to the sandbar. Not worth it!! I would highly recommend just renting a boat to drive yourself where you want to go.
Complete Rip Off. Do NOT waste your money

This was completely false advertising. We paid $750 ($550 to Viator then another $200 as the "Captain's fee" and all we did was ride around. There was no visits to islands, there was no "nature immersion" as advertised, and there was no marine life where we were taken to snorkle. Most times if snorkeling is advertised, they at least take you where you might see fish. This was a complete waste of money. The captain was texting while driving the boat, talking on the phone at other times, and gave minimal information about sites we were supposed to see. I will never use Viator again and truly feel like this was such a rip off that it's criminal level.
Amazing experience

Monica was great and the trip was so much fun! She made it a perfect day even when we were faced with rough weather. And of course, the raccoons were definitely a highlight for us!
Ask for Captain Monica!

Captain Monica took us to Raccoon Island for my fiancés birthday. The boat ride was so fun and safe! She even stopped and took us to where some dolphins were swimming. It was amazing! She’s also so knowledgeable about the island and the raccoons. I definitely recommend her if you’d like to visit!

We rented a boat with Dolphin Water Sport to take a tour to Sandspur Island this past Monday. Captain Monica took us around the area, she was a great time, very funny and easy to talk with, we were all joking around, it made things a lot better for us. The raccoons didn't stick around as long as we hoped but we still had a lot of fun. We ended up walking around the island a little bit to check out some of the other wildlife. Our tour was four hours, rather than the two that seem to be more common, and Monica didn't seem like she was rushing us at all to move on, it's really nice that it seems like she enjoys her job. We would definitely book again with them in the future if we're around the area.
