Great day on the water…Staff was excellent. Wildlife was a little shy this day. It’s not a zoo. It happens! Thanks for the memories we will be back.

It was a lovely 2 hours. We must have seen hundreds of dolphins!! - Luckily a whole feeding pod and joined by 4 other pods. The captain was very informative, telling us about the different species of dolphins and a lot of information about their lives. It was a very comfortable and lovely time.

A beautiful trip with dolphin antics.

The most memorable was getting into a pod of common dolphins that was over 800 strong. They were so playful and stayed near us for quite awhile. We saw two whale plumes, but sadly no whales although the captain tried very hard. It is always a pleasure to be out on the ocean on your wonderful boat with your friendly and helpful staff.

Terrible service and overbooking even if you make a reservation
Savannah_S
, Jun 2021
So I made a reservation for my husbands birthday over a week before. It sounded great….until I got a phone call TWO hours before the reservation saying they had to cancel due to over booking issues. And they couldn’t take us till 4-5 days later. When I explained it was his birthday and to see if there was anything else we can do. I was told “that sucks” she was rude about it. And didn’t even care about it. And issued me a refund. Broke my heart. We booked for the 5 pm. So it was already too late to make new plans.
