Great experience! Captain Daniel was professional, fun and skillful behind the wheel. Tanya was also excellent keeping the trip fun. The most highlight was seeing so many dolphins around the boat. I have never seen so many dolphins in my life. The sunset view was phenomenal. We took lots of sunset views. Would strongly recommend Bikini Bottom tour to friends and family.

We had a great time! Daniel and Tanya kept us thoroughly entertained. the music was great. We got to see a lot of dolphins. All-in-all it was a great experience and all 5 of us that went would definitely do it again. Best excursion in Destrin!!!

Really fun family run business. Truly entertaining and we saw the dolphins. Had some good music and dancing too.

This was super fun from beginning to end. Both Daniel and Jessie were a hoot. We are locals and this will now be on our "must do" list whenever we have visitors from out of town!

This tour was so much fun! We saw so many dolphins and spent the majority of our time on our feet watching them! Daniel and Tanya were very knowledgeable and energetic! They had great music, funny jokes, and made everyone feel welcome. They also took time to take pictures of our whole group a couple times (on was even with the sunset behind us.) I highly recommend this tour!

Crystal_H, Apr 2026
They just get it. Good music. Peaceful vibes. Dancing, singing and dolphins were our crews specialities. Brought my husband and 5 year old son and I truly believe this is appropriate and a must do for everyone (if you want to have a nice night out on the water/at sunset with dolphins swimming in the background😉).

Captain Daniel and Tanya were the best 10 out of 10. They went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience ever. They are family owned so that makes it even more appealing.

Thank you so much!!

This was an amazing trip! There were so many dolphins to see. The Crew was awesome! They were so friendly and entertaining. They even danced with people on the boat when we were trolling into the harbor. They took pictures of all the families at sunset. There are really no words to describe the look on my teenage daughter's face! Does a mom's heart good!

This experience was so amazing, the captains dale and Jesse were so fun! Dale was dancing with our 11 year old and let both of our kids drive the boat. The music was awesome as well. And we saw lots of dolphins! They know this water very well! I cannot recommend this more! We had a blast!

Thank you!!
Tom_B, Apr 2026
Absolutely the best! We planned on enjoying ourself on the boat and a little sightseeing on the water, maybe seeing some dolphins, but Captain Daniel, and his mate Tanya, were exceptional made it absolutely fun the entire time for everyone on board and there were probably about 20 to 25 people. We saw many dolphins including a huge school of them and had a total blast! 5 star all the way!

I wish there were more stars to give. This is something everyone needs to do! Daniel and his crew were amazing! Truly the highlight of my trip. If you are thinking of doing a dolphin cruise dont do it with anyone other than Bikini Bottom! The trip was fun, the music was stellar and this family ran company made sure to keep it personal and interactive!

We had an amazing time on the Awesome Dolphin Cruise! 🐬🌊 The whole experience was fun, relaxing, and memorable from start to finish. Captain was the absolute best—friendly, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel welcome right away. You could tell he really loves what he does and knows exactly where to find the dolphins.
We saw several dolphins and had plenty of time to enjoy the views and take pictures. The ride was smooth, the atmosphere was great, and Captain made it entertaining with stories and local insights.
Highly recommend this cruise if you’re looking for a great time on the water and a chance to see dolphins up close. We would definitely go again

We had an incredible time cruising and dolphin watching with the team aboard the Bikini Bottom. The music, the energy, and the overall vibe made the experience unforgettable. There were plenty of tour companies to choose from, but I’m so glad we picked this one. The sunset was absolutely breathtaking, and the family memories we made are forever etched in our hearts.
