Captain Steve and mate Grace were great! They were both very knowledgeable and entertaining! We saw a mom and her calf for quite some time. We also got to see some beautiful homes, a tiki boat and pirate ship along the way. It was a great experience, I highly recommend this tour!!

Today’s Dolphin Quest experience was the best we have had yet. We have been on it at least 10 times over the years and today was the most enjoyable largely due to Kirsten and Captain Jim. They were fun and very knowledgeable. We saw quite a few dolphins and the music playing was just loud enough to be enjoyable without being annoying or distracting. Very affordable drinks and snacks available. Highly recommend!!

Very professionally ran. Captain did a great job handling the boat and the other crew member was Dr. Dolphin. Couldn’t have asked for a better adventure.

Wonderful day on the Dolphin cruise. The Captain did a fab job navigating (& a great sense of humor). The First Mate was so informative & knowledgeable. It was a successful cruise sighting & coming upon dolphins especially the pod with the new calves which we all enjoyed for a good amount of time.

Wonderful family friendly experience!! Captain has much knowledge and keeps everyone smiling! ...We did experience a jet skier that was rude on the water yet, Captain and first mate took their job seriously and keeping safety first took appropriate action to make sure they were reported! Great job! Continued tour 💯 professionally! We will be back!!!

Saw a few pods of dolphins & learned a lot about them. Took a little ride around the area. I enjoyed the low key ride but my teens prefer the speed boat rides.
