A great place to bring the family I really recomend it .The crew were AWESOME !! We had a great time ..
Perfect.. Loved it!!! Very informative!!!
The tour was fun and informative. The kids really enjoyed being able to learn and hold some of the sea life that was picked up along the way.
Staff was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. We got to hold blow fish, squid, starfish and rainbow stingray. Great trip would definitely do again!
Thank you, Sonia! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your eco tour and dolphin watch.

Thank you!!! We appreciate your review, Ricardo!
It was a dolphin and eco tour. The tour just made a few circles in the Bay and only a few dolphins were seen at a distance. They did a decent job catching and doing a show and tell with some interesting fish from the bay. For the price I was expecting a bit more. Overall it was disappointing. My kids are young and enjoyed.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the experience didn’t fully meet your expectations. As with all wildlife tours, dolphin sightings are never guaranteed, and because they’re wild animals, they may sometimes be farther away than we’d like. We always do our best to locate them while respecting their natural behavior and habitat. We’re glad your family enjoyed our hands-on marine life presentation. One of the highlights of our Eco Tour is giving guests the opportunity to see and learn about local sea life up close, making each trip both educational and memorable. We appreciate your comments and are especially happy to hear your children had a great time. We hope you’ll join us again on a future trip when the dolphins are feeling a little more social!
Everyone on the crew was knowledgeable about the Marine life. Kids loved holding the fish we caught in the net. Dolphins were amazing swimming next to our boat.
Thank you! We appreciate your 5-star review!
Awesome experience kids got to hold a bunch of different see creatures and we got to see bunch of pods of dolphins will definitely use them again when we visit next
Thank you, Zachary!!! We appreicate your review!
The boat was so overcrowded it kept tilting not only that, but we only seen like 10 dolphins The staff on the boat was really sweet, but it was definitely not worth the money at all
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear you found our crew to be friendly and welcoming—they work hard to ensure every guest has a great experience. Our vessels are Coast Guard-certified and operate well within their approved passenger capacity, so while the boat may naturally lean at times as guests move around to view dolphins, safety is never compromised. Because dolphins are wild animals, every trip is different. While seeing around 10 dolphins is actually considered a good sighting on many tours, we understand that expectations can vary and we’re sorry the experience didn’t meet yours. We appreciate your feedback and hope you’ll consider joining us again in the future for another opportunity to enjoy South Padre Island’s incredible wildlife.
Our first time ever experiencing this, and it was so amazing loved every bit of it even a tour guides, and they captain himself.
AWESOME! Thank you for the 5-star review! We love to hear from our valued guests!
