This was our first time on a dolphin tour and it was simply amazing. Captain Zach was very knowledgeable and friendly, and took us to the best dolphin spots in the area. It's mid-February so we weren't expecting too many sightings, but we ended up seeing so many cute dolphins! It was a fantastic experience. Highly recommend if you want a peaceful and private tour with friends or family.

Tom was a great captain. He found a pod of about 30 dolphins. Got to see them jumping & playing. Super cool experience!

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING, first the generosity shown due to an unfortunate mishap with our original booking was very gracious. And once we FINALLY arrived Captain Tom was the best ever. On top of the Dolphins giving us a VIP show and treatment definitely NO complaints here. HIGHLY recommend and can't wait to bring the rest of the family for the experience. If I could give more than 5 stars I would...

Saw a few dolphins at first but toward the end we hit the jackpot. A bunch of dolphins close to the surface! Awesome adventure.
Zach was a great captain and knew what he was doing. Safety uppermost.
I'd do it again.
