We decided to plan this little adventure last minute. The trip was absolutely beautiful and amazing. We saw many dolphins. And the crew was absolutely incredible. We got lit and the crew had fun with it also. Will definitely book again when we come back down

Great time spent

Biswajit_S, Dec 2023

It’s definitely worth the price. Crews are friendly. Boat tour was quite a while taking us to the Gulf of Mexico. I will recommend everyone to have this tour. We were not lucky to see many dolphins but the captain tried his best to give us a glimpse, may be due a bit cold weather!

Response from Host, Jan 2024

It's fantastic to hear that you found value in our tour and enjoyed the friendly crew! Our team always aims to make the journey memorable, even if the weather or wildlife sightings are a bit unpredictable. Thank you for your recommendation, and we truly appreciate your understanding about the dolphin sightings. Hopefully, on your next visit, the weather will be warmer and luck will be on our side for more dolphin encounters!

Great Value and lots of fun!

Alec_S, Dec 2023

It was a cold and windy day but the sites were beautiful. The Captains were very nice. I wish we saw more dolphins but they are not on a schedule. I would highly recommend the tour. It is a long walk (3 to 5 minutes to get to the catamaran as well.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Thank you for joining us on what sounds like a chilly but picturesque day! We're glad to hear you found our captains accommodating, although we understand that wildlife sightings can be unpredictable. Your recommendation means a lot to us!

Please go with Paradise Adventure.

Okay

Benjie_D, Sep 2023

Seen alot of dolphins friendly and helpful staff the music was very inappropriate for the young people on the boat. The trip was supposed to be 2 hours long it was only a hour.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

We're delighted to hear that you had the opportunity to see a lot of dolphins and found our staff to be friendly and helpful. However, we apologize for the issues you mentioned. We understand your concern about the music not being suitable for all passengers, especially for young people on board. We will certainly take your feedback into consideration and make adjustments to provide a more inclusive music selection in the future. Additionally, we apologize for the trip being shorter than expected. We will review our schedules and ensure that our advertised trip durations are accurate to prevent any further inconvenience for our guests.

Dolphins are neat, rest was meh.

Jody_M, Aug 2023

It was alright. It’s always nice going on a boat. Music was boring. Not vacation music. Girl 80’s early 90’s music just doesn’t set a “let’s go have some fun vibe”. We did see some dolphins which was neat.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

We're glad to hear that you enjoyed being on the boat and the exciting sighting of dolphins. However, we apologize if the music selection didn't quite match the "let's go have some fun" vibe you were looking for. We value your input on this matter and will consider offering a more diverse music selection to cater to different tastes in the future.

Nice adventure

My friend’s spouse away about 4 months ago so it was nice to see this outing put a smile on her face. She was adventuresome and sat in the netting. This picture is before she got wet but she loved it!!!

Dolphin tour

Jermonica_G, Apr 2023

The captain got us so close to the dolphins. Everything was nice. The bartender was pleasant and kept the drinks coming. The captain was very experienced and kept us informed. The boat was not as big as I would like but we were comfortable.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Thanks for sailing with us! If you're looking for something bigger, we recommend trying our 78-passenger vessel next time!
