Absolutely worth the time to go. Amazing sites - awesome dolphins!! Great Captain - very informative and interesting. You should go.
It was so cool! There were so many dolphins just playing, families, babies, it was like a movie. The scenery is beautiful, the staff were very nice and helpful! The captain was informative and seemed very chill. The lighthouses were beautiful to see and the islands were as well! Well worth it, and it's not expensive! My two daughters loved it as well! Great picture opportunities!

It was really nice and relaxing and the food was good. Saw a lot of dolphins which made the trip that much better.
Dolphins were easy to see. But you don’t get much of a tour of the island. I did like that we saw a baby dolphin.
Great trip. Relaxed, and respectful of the area and the dolphins. Knowledgeable and engaging Captain was entertaining but not over the top. Understands their audience and purpose.
Amazing views and plenty of dolphins! My kids loved this trip and were in awe of the number of dolphins they got to see!
It was wonderful. However disappointing that 2 in our party didn’t get to go. They could not find a place to park. Valet lot was full too. Needed a Handicap spot. Hoping to get a refund for the 2 who couldn’t make it.
A nice and relaxing ride also informative
Captain Justin told us many interesting facts about the area and dolphins. Saw many dolphins right away. Nice sunset
Enjoyed the sunset and watching many dolphins. My kids had fun seeing Dolphins play. I would definitely visit again and recommend this cruise. Captain was very nice and informative.
It was a very boring experience unfortunately. We just sat and had very little movement, and the captain repeated himself. I definitely expected a lot more from my experience
Bring hat and sunglasses. Also arrive early to get parking. Very relaxing and beautiful views and sunset
Great experience. Arrive early to get a front of boat seat. What a relaxing and beautiful setting. Watch the dolphins and just enjoy a beautiful scenic tour.
It was great! We saw a lot of dolphins! The only thing I will say is that it was about to storm and it was lightning and I feel like the captain didn’t end the tour sooner. We had already saw a lot of dolphins at the point so me and a few others were kind of anxious and ready to get off the water with it lightning that bad. We were safe in the end and it was a fun!
Cost is to much. Understand need to charge for expenses but didn't seem concerned when it lightened!
Beautiful trip through the harbor. Lots of dolphins and a beautiful sunset. Boarding was quick and easy, seating on the top deck provided a great view.
It was alittle crowded... the snacks are priced high but Everything in life is priced high.... it was fun
