I had the most incredible experience on the dolphin tour! The dolphins playing in the boat's wake was amazing. Being in a smaller boat makes the experience up close and personal with the dolphins. Captain Nick's knowledge about the mangroves and sea life was impressive and added to the tour. It was definitely the best dolphin tour I've ever been on, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable marine adventure.

Tour was awesome, we got to see grandma Curly (60 yr old dolphin), shelling was fun and watching the sunset 🌅 on the water. Captain Nick was great.

Nick was an excellent captain. My six year old loved learning about the shells and we got to see lots of dolphins too. Our second year we have been on Nicks great tour!!

Shelling was great- you couldn’t move on the beach without stepping on shells. Nick knew exactly where to find the dolphins and one swam in our wake for several minutes. Sunset was beautiful as well. Amazing trip, knowledgeable guide. A little cold so just check the weather and remember it will be colder with the wind from the boat. Thanks, Nick!

Nick was a great tour guide. We had an exceptional shelling experience & saw a few dolphins a long the way. Highly recommend!

Nick was an amazing guide who took time to share his knowledge of the area with us and had great patience answering any questions the kids had. He knew the area well and was able to educate all of us of the various types of shells. We had an absolutely great time!
