angel_D, Jun 2026

I wasn’t comfortable riding on a boat but wanted to give an amazing experience to my kids and their friends and Captain Dan reassured it would be great and it was nothing short of that!! We saw dolphins and a manatee within the first 10 mins!! It was a great family experience and he was so knowledgeable of the wildlife and the history of the area!!

Dolphin Manatee Tour

Stephen_B, Jun 2026

We had such a great time! While it is understood that the guides cannot guarantee that we see the wild animals, on this particular tour we got to watch 5-6 dolphins playing near our boat! What a wonderful experience!

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you for the great review! Yes we cannot guarantee wildlife sightings but we do our best to find all sorts of native animals, and typically do.

A fantastic dolphin and manatee tour

Linda_M, Jun 2026

Lots a room you can walk around the boat. It’s nice and clean the Captain and first mate are well knowledged of the area we seen dolphins and manatees which was really cool. It can be hot if they’re not going fast but it was probably what 95 100° when we went, but when the boat is moving faster. There’s a beautiful breeze. It’s cool you down the water is not deep. It looks really nice. Really friendly place. Everybody was really courteous. Would do it again.

Chill ….

Dawn_K, Jun 2026

May not see dolphins … maybe not a great sunset … but you will enjoy the ride and might learn something about the area. Just 90 minutes of chill time to relax!

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you for the 5 stars. Sometimes mother nature does not cooperate when it comes to dolphins and the sunset, but we do our best to make every tour memorable.

Would return!

Mary_F, May 2026

Captain Dan is such a wonderful guy. I'm in a electric wheelchair and he knew how to handle me very well. He also treated me with respect even with my service dog. He is very knowledgeable and very very funny. All I can say is that you definitely want to be on his boat. I will be returning ang in the winter and I plan to book with him again.

Amazing time

Cathy_K, May 2026

We had a lot of fun, the captain or captains went out of their way to make sure that we all saw what we were looking for whether it be a dolphin or manatee. They had a great sense of humor and made the trip really fun.

Response from Host, May 2026

We have the best Captains around as they love sharing our piece of paradise we live in. Thank you for the review!

Save your Money

Jennifer_H, Apr 2026

We recently took the Fort Myers Beach Dolphin and Sightseeing Tour and unfortunately it did not live up to our expectations. Compared to other dolphin tours we have been on, this one felt underwhelming and not quite worth the price. There is was no action where you are going higher speeds seeing dolphins following the boats and jumping in the wakes since the boat just did a big circle going extremely slow. The pontoon boat never left the bay where we saw 3 dolphin fins briefly, which you can see on your own along the beaches. We actually saw more activity directly after the boat ride right outside our condo where dolphins here jumping and feeding right next to shore. That said, Ryan who drove the boat, was very kind and did his best to make the trip enjoyable. The other couples who were on our trip who we spoke with afterwards felt the same as us that is was basically a waste of our time and money. Overall, it wasn't a terrible experience, just disappointed and I would not recommend to others. The pictures included are from the boat except for the jumping dolphin that was taken outside on the beach from the condo on the opposite side of water where they took you out in the boat and approximately 20 mins after we returned from this trip. In the pictures with the birds you can see what dolphin activity was witnessed on board the boat.

Response from Host, May 2026

We apologize for your disappointment. Some days are not as action packed as other when it comes to wildlife. The Dolphins in our area are resident dolphins and the actually do spend most of their time in the backbay. Typically we find plenty of them but there are those occasional days the move to other areas and do not cooperate. They are wild animals and they do what they want when they want.

Fun Tour… Great Dolphin Sightings

Karen_B, Apr 2026

Saw many active dolphins and manatees. Weather was perfect! Parking lot right on the dock. Beautiful ride over to Sanibel lighthouse.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you for this great review!

Excellent short day cruise

Scott_G, Apr 2026

Went on a daytime dolphin and manatee tour with captains Forest and Blake and had a blast! They’re excellent guides and entertainment. I highly recommend Dolphin Bay Charters

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you for the High Recommendation! Company is Pelican Bay Charters, not Dolphin Bay

Dolphins and manatees

Derek_Z, Apr 2026

We got to see dolphins and a manatee right next to the boat coming up for air which was a awesome video 👍

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Glad you got some good video, thanks for the review!

Al_G, Apr 2026

Our tour guide / captain was great! But very limited activity on the water with dolphins, manatees, etc. We toured around the harbor and saw some nice homes on the”millionaire row,” but fairly uneventful, Ryan had some great restaurant/bar recommendations,

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you for the review, sometimes the wildlife is not as active as other times. These are wild animals in their environment and do as they please.

Dolphins

MAUREEN_D, Apr 2026

We were able to get close to dolphins and get some good pictures. The kids on board loved it. The guide/captain did a great job of finding the dolphins and keeping boat in good position for viewing.
