So fun to hear! Thanks for the awesome review. See you next year

Didn't get to go 😞 not...

Nickole_M, Aug 2025
Didn't get to go 😞 not enough people for the trip.. they texted me in the morning and cancelled.. I am still waiting on my refund..

Response from Host, Aug 2025

I do apologize that we did not have enough people to go out however I don't believe this is worthy of a 1 star review as the refund was issued within 24 hours of cancellation. Refunds do take time to process especially when being booked through a third party. This is out of my control. I hope you will reconsider the negative review on a small business and give us another chance in the future when we do have enough people to go out.

Book this Tour!

Book this tour! Fun atmosphere and great staff. We stopped at a private island, saw a dolphin and lots of nice relaxing water time. We will definitely bring other guests back.

Disappointed

Shania_V, Jun 2025
Me and my fiancée were so excited to do this trip, this boat trip was the one I was looking forward to the most. So you can imagine my disappointment when we were stood up. We were never told they it was canceled we arrived ready and all and no one was there, I had to call them to find out the canceled last minute.

Awesome. Will do again

Victoria_M, May 2025

Best Dolphin Tour

Alicia_S, Jun 2024
Erica and Phil were amazing! Phil & Erica knew exactly where to spot the dolphins & sailed right up to them. They were outgoing and fun. Phil sailed up to the private island & Erica took our glamorous photos. Would recommend 10/10
