Glad We Took this Little Adventure! - Highly recommend the sunset boat tour! The guide was knowledgeable about exactly when was best to depart to see the sunset over the lighthouse. We saw many dolphins and had an enjoyable evening with our teens.

Relaxing Ride - Thorough,clear communication about details beforehand via text. BYOB/ food. Open clean big boat to ourselves, and a wonderfully calm captain Chad who shared facts about the surrounding area. Saw tons of dolphins right away and throughout (was so skeptical). Pleasant music, nice volume, wonderful experience.

The Best - This was one of my familys favorite parts of our trip! We saw Dolphins 5 minutes our tour! The kids were so excited and loved every minute! Our captain was great with the kids. You could tell he was making sure we enjoyed our experience. He also was good at making sure we were safe, and didn’t get hurt. We will be coming back to do it again this summer with more friends and family.

Bay Ride - Chad knew exactly where to take us to watch the Dolphins. We even got to see a baby dolphin. It was a pleasant experience and Chad was a gentle driver. We will be back. Thank you Chad for a wonderful time.

Fun time with little kids - We had a great time! The private tour was perfect for our little kids (1, 3, and 4) since they were able to walk all over the boat without us having to worry about them bothering other tourists. They loved seeing the dolphins and just cruising around. They even had a chance to drive the boat. Definitely recommend.

Dolphins at Sunset - Captain Banks did an awesome job. While the dolphins weren’t overly participating by showing up. He kept a sharp eye on the horizon and managed to point out some sightings to our crew. As well as tell us about dolphin antics. He was easy going and provided a lot of extra tidbits about the landmarks we passed by. It was a great excursion!
