Highly Recommend - Captain Sarah was FABULOUS! She was very knowledgeable about the area as well as of the “where and what” caused the dolphins to be in the area of the tour. Difficult to determine how many dolphins we saw (as some may have been seen more than once) but we saw many! Great trip. Easy to obtain reservations either on line or actually at the little office on the dock.

Fun ride, saw baby dolphins! - Captain Sarah did an outstanding job in looking for dolphins, and filling us in on some of the history of the island.

So glad we booked this tour! - Wonderful experience! We saw a lot of dolphins, but even if we hadn't caught sight of them, the boat ride was fun. Dress for wind and speed or you'll lose your hat and sunglasses!

Was able to see the... - Was able to see the dolphins, other rides we’ve been on were friendlier with the kids and families. But overall not a bad experience.

Good, but could have been better - Overall, we had a pleasant experience. It was windy, so we only saw a handful of dolphins, but it was a beautiful day. We were lucky enough to have the tour to ourselves! Our tour guide was friendly, but only shared information about the location and animals if we asked. He was on his phone while driving the boat and he ended the tour about 20 minutes early.

Very disappointed - The weather was nice. The boat had no covering. It was very low budget looking and the company doesn't even offer water to their guests. The driver did not communicate on the boat ride, and he drove entirely too fast. I would not recommend.

Very unhappy experience - Very unfriendly experience with the boat driver. He almost never talks to us and we actually paid him tips at beginning of the trip.
