Great fun seeing Dolphins! - We had a tour to see the Dolphins. Couldn’t find the exact one in the drop down. However our trip was just a Dolphin tour. Jackie and Kate did a great job on our tour. We got to see so many Dolphins and they were very knowledgeable of the area. Great job! Would definitely go again.

Get your feet wet! - Captain Kate and first mate Lisa were terrific. A bit of science and history was welcome on our ride to the disappearing island. And yes, we did see several groups of dolphins.

Family friendly crew - Kate and Jacky were awesome. They were kind and patient, they played music and had tons of information for the area. We’ve used other companies for the disappearing island and this company was the most family friendly and enthusiastic group. We'll definitely come back to them.

amazing time looking at dolphins - the views were amazing and we did see several dolphins. they dont come real close to the boat like in the picture because of the engines. you cant feed them so that was a bummer. i wanted to lure them closer. Still had a great time. tour guide and captain were awesome
