Personable and knowledgeable local captain on small authentic boat.
Bob will go the extra mile to make sure you have a great time. We go it all: beautiful bay views, Shell key exploration, bird watching, sunset and dolphins!
Wonderful sunset boat ride! Saw dolphins, native birds, picked seashells and an amazing sunset! Learned about the local history and had a nice relaxing 2+ hours. Thank you!!
The sunset dolphin tour was an amazing experience! We got to search for seashells, watch a beautiful sunset, and enjoy drinks and snacks on board. The crew was incredibly kind, welcoming, and knowledgeable about the area. We had such a great time and would definitely recommend this tour! It’s a FAMILY family business!!!
This was an amazing Experience!! I saw lots of dolphins some cool birds and even got to stop on an island to take photos!! My friends and I got lots of sunset pictures on the boat to post on Instagram and the captain didn’t seem bothered about our photo shoots lol . It was a great relaxing experience I highly recommend!!
Amazing experience! Seen lots of dolphins, learned a little St Pete history, and even collected some shells to bring home
It was great. We saw sights and our tour guides were great (im sorry, im bad with names). We saw dolphins and had a beautiful sunset. It was great!!! I would 100% do it again.
My wife and I went out on this tour with our boys who are in their 20s. The crew was knowledgeable, fun and friendly. We saw lots of dolphins and a nice Florida sunset. A very laid back, enjoyable experience. Would definitely recommend.
I took my daughter for her 16th birthday and we had a great time. Would definitely recommend. Even got off the boat for a bit and got some shells! Saw a pod of dolphins playing and was able to watch them for quite a bit. Overall great experience
It was a beautiful cruise! The captain & crew were very friendly and knowledgeable. They took us right to where the dolphins live; we took some incredible videos of them swimming in pods with their babies. The bird sanctuary island was amazing to see as well! We didn’t know what to expect, or if it would even be interesting, but we could not believe how tranquil it was there… or how many birds were perched in the trees! It really was as exciting as the dolphin experience! We went to a perfect spot to watch the sunset, and the crew even take photos for you.We highly recommend going with this crew for a cruise!
Loved this experience!! 10/10 recommend if your looking for a tour to do. We saw so many dolphin and even got to visit shell key preserve to watch the sunset. Both of our tour guides were great and knowledgeable!
Very fun experience! Nice workers and amenities. Didn’t see many dolphins due to the time of year, but did see a shark and a manatee. Would recommend!
It was great, staff were so friendly and a must do in St. pete. My kids enjoyed the views and dolphin watching.
