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!!

Nice tour with dedicated staff - We took this tour after spending several days at our accommodation in Johns Pass without having seen a single dolphin. Promised dolphins were found quite soon after and the captain together with his colleague did a good job of entertaining us. They told us about both houses and accommodations in the area, as well as other sights and animals. We had some pretty annoying tourists on our trip, who ran back and forth on the boat to take pictures and almost pushed themselves in front of others. It was a shame that the staff couldn't tell them in a good way, because these people spoiled the experience a bit for the rest of us. An elderly lady with mobility difficulties next to us got several times some crazy tourists who stood right in front of her which hindered her vision completely. Combined with the warm weather, this was a nice tour with fun staff. There are light snacks and drinks available on the boat (cash though!) Recommend.
