⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was by far the best dolphin tour I’ve ever been on, and I’ve seen dolphin tours in different places. The number of dolphins we saw was absolutely incredible. They were everywhere, and it felt like they were putting on a show just for us! The captain and crew were knowledgeable, friendly, and made the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. The ride was smooth, the views were beautiful, and there was never a dull moment.
It was a great experience, the tour guide made it so much fun. I will definitely book this trip again.
Higly Recommend this tour. Our family enjoyed a lot. Sugfestion: Adding hand rails over head to hold on while standing/ walking in the move would be helpful.
Great time with Ben's knowledge and humor. Seen quite a few dolphims!
Captain Ben was a fantastic guide. He found a huge group of dolphins and educated us on their life in the harbor. Best dolphin cruise I’ve been on!
Great captain and boat ride he was very funny and knowledgeable and was very kind to the kids on the boat. We seen over 50 dolphins! Very nice boat with a bathroom on it!
Captain Ben was fun and informative. Allowing small children to drive the boat on the way back in was icing on the cake.
Great tour! Brief history the ships and harbor. We saw sooo many dolphins! Best part was the surprise that involved all the kids on the boat! Our kids ranging from 10-18 loved the tour!!!
Loved this ride. Capt Adam was funny, and very informative! And my daughter loved it when she got to guide the boat! So fun!
We are a family of six (hubby and I and kids ages 5, 7, 16, 17) and we all had a blast! Captain Adam made the experience fun and family friendly! He had a wealth of knowledge and we all got a great up close view of the dolphins! All of my kiddos got to help drive the boat as well! Would highly recommend the historical tour for families! It was one of the highlights of our trip and worth every penny!
