Dolphin gone wild! - This is my 3rd time going on this boat. Each time different captains. Each time excellent experience. I’m not so comfortable on boats, but every time I’ve gone on this tour I’ve felt safe and had a blast! 100’s of dolphins each time too!!

Fun day on the Dolphin Quest - Just ALWAYS a great time! Worth the drive! We always bring people who come to visit us and the are always happy we did! Grace was super sweet answering questions we had! Did not see a lot of dolphins, but we still had a great time! Usually we see a ton of them!!! Our guest were not upset at all, because we enjoyed the ride itself! Very relaxing!!

A Perfect Day - We had Dolphins beside the boat from the time that the engine started until we ran out of time. The captain and tour guide were very knowledgeable of the local animals and notable architecture. They were also much more engaged with the people than any other cruise that I have taken out of John’s Pass. Perfect day!

Tour got canceled due to weather 😞 - We were not able to take our tour as there was lightning in the area so it was cancelled. Staff was very nice and professional though and seemed to care about the safety of the passengers. We were not able to rebook as we were leaving the next morning. 😢. Only thing I didn’t understand is why the dolphin tour got cancelled but the Pirate ship set sail literally 5 min after ours was cancelled - thought that was very odd. I’m greatful they are concerned about our safety with the weather though. If we come to the area next year we will definitely be booking - and NOT the day before we go incase it has to get cancelled again.
