This was a fantastic excursion! My friends and I were scheduled for the 3:00 tour originally. However, I got a call the morning of the excursion saying there weren't enough people to make the tour and asked if we would mind going at the 5:00 excursion. That was one of the best decisions we have ever made on any of our girls' trips!
Tommy and Jonica were our captains and they were very entertaining. We ended up seeing a fairly large pod of dolphins and Tommy kept us out for quite a bit so we could watch them play. On the way back, at 6:30, he stopped the boat so we could watch the Blue Angels fly over! This was their practice time and such a huge treat for us! We were so thankful Tommy was considerate enough (and knowledgeable enough with timing of practice) to let us watch them.
I highly recommend this tour. It is the smaller of the boats and I really liked that. Not crowded as I saw on a couple of others that were also out there to see the dolphins.

The lady tour guide was so knowledgeable and skipper was very accommodating! Worth the money!!!! Saw 3 dolphins perform and swim around the vessel, saw lots of stingrays too

Hello Hester, glad to hear your dolphin cruise was a fun time for you. Thanks for your review, and for cruising Jolly!

I agree with a prior review that the tour is closer to one hour than two, but I didn't really care! The captain very considerately did his best to keep us dry on a cold day for a Florida April and we found two areas where there were dolphins, so goal achieved!
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Hi Robin, thanks for taking the time to leave your review. The dolphin cruise generally is at least an hour and a half, sometimes longer depending on where the dolphins are found. And yes, on cold or choppy days we may run shorter if dolphins are found in close, to keep everyone comfortable! Pretty much all the tour operators do the same. Glad you had fun on the dolphin cruise, thanks much for coming out with us.

This dolphin watching was amazing !! Not long into the boat ride we saw a pod of dolphins . They also had great info on dolphins and their habits
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Hi Tari, we're pleased to hear you had such a good time on the dolphin cruise. Thanks for your review, and for cruising Jolly!
Lisa_A, Apr 2024
Experience says it is hour and a half (1 hr at best) positive we did see dolphins.
Hard to write about this excursion as there wasn't much that happened.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Hi Lisa, sorry that your tour wasn't quite as long as expected. We usually do cruise at least an hour and a half, and sometimes close to two hours, every tour is different. Sometimes if the conditions are choppy, we may come in earlier, especially if dolphins are found in close. We appreciate your feedback, and thanks for cruising with us! You may enjoy a private tour next time, which runs a full two hours as conditions permit, for more of a comprehensive tour.
