Lots of dolphins and great crew - Great experience! We were not able to book online, so we called Spirit of the Sea at 9 am and were able to book two tickets for the 10.30 am same day dolphin cruise. We saw lots of dolphins on the tour and the staff was very welcoming and helpful throughout to help us get to the upper and lower decks to see the dolphins!

10 out of 10 - big pod of dolphins - crew are respectful of the ocean - We did this a few days ago and were lucky to see a big pod of dolphins. The captain assured us that if we didn't see dolphins we could attend again free of charge which was reassuring to hear. The staff were incredible in ensuring safety, and that everyone got to get a good look at the dolphins. I'm so glad we did this boat trip. 💜 I also loved the respect the staff had of the ocean by stopping to remove litter when they saw it. ✅️ I highly recommend and would do this again if I revisit the island. 🐬

Excellent! - Brilliant! Saw lots of dolphins. Massive pod very close to us. The staff are lovely and very environmentally aware. They took 2 large plastic bags out of the ocean during our trip, and they have photos of turtles they have rescued from discarded fishing nets. They respect that dolphins are wild animals and give a free trip if you don't see any. Well enjoyed and recommended.

Mega! Always happy!! - We drove with our 4.5 year old son. A special highlight for us (apart from the dolphins) was the man with the white beard! He was so child friendly and helpful when walking. Was fun with the little one and our son thawed out with him too, because he is actually very reserved when it comes to strangers. Dolphins have also been spotted many! The whole crew is incredibly nice and we would definitely book here again! Price performance more than top!!

Beautiful experience - We booked the tour at 1.30pm. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Have seen many flying fish after a short time and after about 45 minutes drive also a swarm of dolphins!! It was super nice! After that we went to a short bathing stop and then back again, duration about 2 1/2 hours

Spirit of the Sea - This was my third visit to Puerto Rico, and my third trip out on the boat to see the wildlife in the area. I had a few days to myself this holiday while my husband was scuba diving so booked this trip for one morning. I use this tour operator because they are knowledgable about the wildlife you are seeing, and are conscious not to disturb them too much. They will also stop to fish any rubbish out of the ocean, and on the one trip a few years back they stopped to untangle a turtle from a net before releasing it back. Usually we see a large group of dolphins: this most recent trip was the first time we didn’t spot a lot (you can’t schedule wildlife!) but we didn’t a turtle dive down as we passed it, a whale in the distance that the boat pointed out but advised us that if we got any closer it would dive down as it was a very reserved species. Also saw hundreds of flying fish on the way out to sea. I still enjoyed the 2 and a half hours out on the boat. The company offer a voucher with a years expiration date if you don’t see much in the trip, which they offered this time. I find them to be very respectful of the ocean and the creatures living there, and will probably book again through these operators if I come back and decide to go dolphin spotting again.

Not always lucky the first time. - The first time we hadn't seen any dolphins. Were definitely on vacation. Got a credit voucher free to go again. Went again next day and then they were there. Beautiful dolphins seen.

Overall good activity but the music. - It might be a bumpy "road", best is to sit down. The music onboard wasn't so funny to listen to. Better to hear the waves. Overall We were lucky, we met many dolphins, some was near the boat playing.
