This was a great excursion. We enjoyed the kicked back sunset trip. The crew was friendly and helpful, and seemed very interested in making sure that we had a good time by telling stories and interacting with the dolphins. The other participants were all chill and friendly. Good price for an hour and a half on a boat in the Laguna Madre.

Great guide & tour! We got to see a handful of dolphins, but the best part is that we learned a lot about them and the history of the area.

Antonette_L

Awesome experience! Captain and mates were the best! We enjoyed seeing the dolphins, Space X off in the distance but visible) and more……

Boat ride was great. When I booked it and it said it was a dolphin tour I figured there would be a small chance of seeing dolphins but I was pleasantly surprised since there was multiple sightings. We went with a party of 15, plenty of space. Crew was funny and welcoming. Would book again!!!

This was an awesome tour. The music added to the experience and was so much fun. Oz, Devin, and captain patrick made sure we had a great experience and were very friendly.

Awesome way to spend a few hours! Dolphin sitings were amazing. The crew was friendly and accommodating, also super knowledgeable. Seeing the live catch - guitar fish!- puffer and starfish was a great unexpected bonus. Shout out to Devon and Oz - you really made us feel at home on your boat. Captain Patrick - thanks for sharing your family legacy and your “dad jokes”. :)

The guys were super nice and had a lot of local knowledge. I felt like I saw plenty of dolphins but they added the ecology (eco) portion to our tour since they said we didn't see many dolphins.
