Absolutely amazing experience. I would do this time and time again. The crew aboard the Dolphin were great, the snacks were very tasty, and the drinks were great. Being able to take a break and jump in the water for a while was also amazing. The sunset was mesmerizing. I recommend the Dolphin sunset cruise to everyone who gets a chance to go. You will not be disappointed.

We had a great time! The whole thing is very well organized. Check-in was easy and the boarding process was smooth. The drinks were what you would expect on a cruise like this. Not great. Not bad. We had a great sunset to watch, but every sunset there was amazing. I would recommend this excursion for sure.

We had a wonderful and unforgettable sunset experience on the boat! The views were absolutely breathtaking as the sky filled with beautiful colors over the water. The atmosphere was peaceful and magical, making it the perfect way to end the day. The crew was warm, attentive, and made the entire experience even more special. It’s truly a moment we will always remember. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a stunning and relaxing sunset at sea!

Drunkfest

Scott_K, Apr 2026

There was nothing about the sunset in this cruise. It was a bunch of late teens early 20's getting drunk on fee booze and swimming. The Captain and crew were more concerned about their tip and getting us off the boat than anything else. About 8 people actually got to see the sun set, do to the captains inability to operate his vessel so we all could see it. I do not recommend this to anyone looking for a "sunset cruise".

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Hi Scott, Thank you again for your feedback. As mentioned on your google review as well, we’re sorry to hear the experience did not meet your expectations. This is not the experience we aim to provide, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention. Once again we kindly request you to please reach out to us directly to share some more info on the specific crew on your trip, so that we can take action from our side.

Would definitely recommend!

Linda_S, Apr 2026

The sunset catamaran on the Dolphin II was very enjoyable. The captain and crew were excellent. I was one of 5 couples and we all would recommend this excursion.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Hi Linda, Thank you so much for the recommendation! We are thrilled to hear that all five couples had a very enjoyable time on the Dolphin II.

Catamaran, Sunset, and Adventure

Bonnie_P, Apr 2026

This sunset catamaran tour was an absolute highlight! The views were stunning, especially as the sun set over the ocean. The rope swing and slides into the sea added a fun, adventurous touch, and the snorkeling around the reef was incredible—so clear and full of life. The captain and crew truly made the experience, bringing great energy and making sure everyone had a fantastic time. It was the perfect mix of relaxation, adventure, and unforgettable scenery. Highly recommend!

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Hi Bonnie, Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that the sunset catamaran tour was a highlight of your trip.

Fun lively experience

Charlene_S, Apr 2026

Was a fun night my experience just know it is more of a swimming and party boat which I did not know so wasn’t dressed for that also didn’t know we had to get on a dingy to get to the boat

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Hi Charlene, Thank you for joining us! We’re so glad you had a fun night out on the water. We appreciate your feedback regarding the 'party and swim' atmosphere and the dinghy transfer. We always strive to make our boarding process and trip style as clear as possible in our descriptions, but your comments help us realize where we can be even more explicit so our guests know exactly what to wear. We hope to welcome you back again, next time with your swimwear ready!

Great sunset cruise!

Britt_S, Mar 2026

Well-organized, professional staff at check-in, very friendly and knowledgeable staff on the catamaran. This was a fun cruise!

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Hi Britt, That is wonderful to hear! We strive to be well organized from check in to the crew on the catamaran, so your comment about our professional and knowledgeable staff is greatly appreciated. Thank you for choosing us for your fun cruise!

Fun!!

Linda_Q, Mar 2026

Lots of fun & highly recommend it BUT we did not know you could swim. We would have worn bathing suits. Others on the boat said the same. The Viator description said nothing about stopping to swim, jump off rope or slide. Also, the food was tuna salad wraps & chicken salad wraps. I wish I knew that before, I would have packed cheese and crackers.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Hi Linda, Thank you for the recommendation and for sharing your experience! We are glad you had a lot of fun on board. Regarding the swimming and the rope swing, we actually include those details in both the 'Overview' and 'What to Expect' sections of our Viator listing to help guests prepare. We’re sorry if those parts were easy to miss! We also appreciate the feedback on the lunch menu; while our chicken and tuna wraps are favorites, we’ll look into making the specific menu even more prominent so everyone can plan accordingly. We hope to see you back (with your swimsuits) next time!

10/10 bring a swimsuit

Dominic_A, Mar 2026

Beautiful sunset and a great end to the night. Make sure to bring a swimsuit as the rope swing will be available. Hut is easy to find and the guides are great!

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Hi Dominic, Thank you for the wonderful review! We are so glad you enjoyed the sunset and had a chance to try out the rope swing, it’s definitely a highlight for our adventurous guests. It’s also great to hear that you found our check-in hut easily. Our guides work hard to make every trip a great experience, and I’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to them. We hope to see you again soon!

Syndee_S, Mar 2026

I love this lil trip… if you’re looking for a 2 hour sunset cruise that includes a slide/swing/platform to jump off, this is well worth it. Our group had a variety of ages and the kids loved the swimming and also the boat ride and view.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Hi Syndee, It sounds like you had the perfect afternoon! Our crew loves seeing families enjoy the platform and the swing. We take a lot of pride in keeping the energy high and the views gorgeous for our 2-hour sunset cruises. Thank you for joining us and sharing the love!

I would recommend to wear...

Debbie_M, Mar 2026

I would recommend to wear flip flops because when departing or arriving back you will be walking in some water and carrying your shoes to get on or off the boat.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Hi Debbie, Thank you for the great tip! You’re absolutely right comfortable footwear like flip flops can make boarding and disembarking much easier. We really appreciate you sharing this advice for future guests. We hope to welcome you back on board again soon!

Great crew guys, foil boarders want your drinks

Neil_R, Mar 2026

Wear a swim suit if you want to get wet. We spent 25 min on a mooring and many folks did the trapeze.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Hi Neil, Thanks for sharing your experience! Great tip about wearing a swimsuit things can definitely get splashy out there. We’re glad you got to enjoy the stop on the mooring and see (or try!) the trapeze it’s always a crowd favorite. Hope to welcome you back onboard for more fun soon!

The crew was friendly and...

Bad service! And the boat stinks!

Shanti_S, Mar 2026

AWFUL STAFF! They don’t interact. They’re very rude! The music is very low! The boat STINKS! Al you small is the bathroom nearby. Very boring ride. This isn’t my first party boat. But this was my first boat ride with no partying! It’s the staffs job to get us going. Very small boat as well, not as big as I expected. I’m glad it was just $59!

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Hi Shanti, thank you for your feedback. We’re so sorry to hear the atmosphere and boat didn't meet your expectations. We take hygiene and guest experience seriously and will address your comments regarding the music and maintenance with our team.

A little over crowded and the site specifically said only 45 people. Bartended was great and friendly. Snacks were a little lack luster and checking in the lady was not super friendly.
