Customer Reviews
Very nice your! The boat was clean and with comfy seating. Boats captain was very professional and personable, no rush tour! I would definitely book again, I enjoyed every minute of the ride!
Our neighbors told us about a jet ski dolphin tour they did several years ago so when planning our trip we wanted to check it out. It was so much fun. Our guide Trey was great. We seen a few dolphins. Wish we seen more but that part was out of anyone's control. Our teenage girls had a blast. Definitely worth it!
Captain Steve was fantastic! He made sure we saw dolphins and was pleasant to chat with. He also shared interesting dolphin facts from his daughter. 😍 We enjoyed going fast as well! Thanks again! Enjoyed being on the water and the dolphins too much to take many photos!
