Our third time in SPI and third time as well with Isla Tours and it’s always awesome! We all had a wonderful time at the boat ride and also dolphins everywhere! My daughter loved it so much! Captain Patrick, always great and informative and funny! Angie and Ozzy very nice and ready to offer help with taking pictures! Hopefully to be back again next year!

My husband and I went this evening as part of our honeymoon trip. 10/10 recommend! Captain Patrick was hilarious! Eric and David were so helpful! They asked if we needed anything on multiple occasions, and even offered to take our photo! They knew the perfect spots to see dolphins, and the sunset was breathtaking! Can’t wait to come back next summer and bring our kiddos!

What an awesome experience! We saw dolphins almost immediately after leaving. Captain Patrick is hilarious, and very knowledgeable. David and Eric, the deckhands onboard, were just as knowledgeable and kind! They openly offered to take pictures and they did a showing of stingrays and crabs. Even when dolphins were scarce, they kept that cool island vibe going. Totally get your monies worth!

It was our girls first time ever on a boat and they loved the experience, we got to see dolphins and we were lucky enough to see a baby dolphin with the pod. The crew is fun and very helpful, they take pictures of you and they walk around answering any questions or just being friendly and helpful. They also have a little section during the ride where they teach about marine life and let the kids or anyone that wants to get close enough to the marine life they have with them. It’s a fun and you get to see the island from a different angle. I highly recommend it, it’s worth the money!

The kids were very excited to see the dolphins appear in the water and even more excited when they were right against the boat .

Excellent boat ride. The captain was great. He explained the history of the bay bridge, how the channel is maintained etc. We get to see several dolphins. I would definitely recommend this trip to all age groups.
