Enjoyable Dophin Watch and Fireworks Cruise - My husband, adult daughter, and I really enjoyed this cruise. It's become a tradition to take a cruise when we go to the beach. Our captain educated us on various islands, ships, etc in the area and he was knowledgeable about where to go to have the best chance of seeing dolphins His efforts paid off. We saw multiple dolphins and one had 2 5-month old babies. They ended up racing our boat! It was great.

It was spectacular! - Our captain was the perfect tour guide and DJ. We had a real boat party and the fireworks were spectacular. The cruise was so worth it. My family and I enjoyed seeing all the beautiful sights. It was truly the best tour I've ever been on.

Disappointing - My family and I just went on the Fireworks Dolphin Watch cruise. What was advertised was a family-friendly cruise for dolphin watching and then a fireworks display. Unfortunately, we only saw 1 dolphin (obviously not the cruise’s fault, but still disappointing). The music was a nice variety. THEN it seemed like the entire vibe of the trip changed. The music switched to some decidedly NOT family friendly club music and a group on the cruise began drinking excessively, dancing in a way that made my kids pretty uncomfortable and spilling their drinks onto other passengers. This unfortunately continued for the remainder of the cruise. The fireworks were the only real highlight of the trip. Had the party atmosphere been advertised, we would have chosen a different trip for the whole family.

Worst company on the island - This is the worst experience we want to be on a dolphin watch and see fireworks. The company calls me the day of the experience about 3 hours before having to be there amd tells me something is wrong with the boat and it's canceled. This is ridiculous I guess this company doesn't do preventative maintenance on its equipment just waits for it to break and then cancel everything planned if you are planning on scheduling something to go do. I definitely recommend go to another company do not use this one at all you will be disappointed.
