Captain Dave was great. We saw lots of dolphins and enjoyed swimming in the ocean. The pontoon was comfortable and we were grateful to have water which they provided.

Roger was a fantastic captain, very knowledgeable and made sure we had a great experience. We saw a lot of dolphins feeding around the sea walls, and even saw a manatee briefly. The water near Shell Key was rough and it had stormed the day prior, so snorkeling unfortunately wasn’t in the cards, but shell picking was awesome. Many large intact shells and even found some sand dollars. I would highly recommend this trip for families, as only six people are allowed in one boat making it a little more private/intimate than the other dolphin tours we saw around in much larger boats with many more people.

We had so much fun and we were so comfortable on this tour. Justice was our captain and he was so informative, professional, and joyful. There was shade as well as sunny areas on the boat. Shell key island was super pretty and we saw lots of wildlife including a dolphin! Highly recommend and we will do this tour again next time!

A fantastic trip. It was rescheduled from thr previous day because of bad weather, and we're so glad they did. The conditions were perfect, and going out at 9am meant we several groups of dolphins, including one group of three dolphins that traveled with the group for several minutes. Captain Justice was kind, polite, friendly and professional throughout- we would absolutely recommend this to anyone thinking about a similar cruise in the Tierra Verde area!

Highly recommend. Saw lots of dolphins- Some right next to our boat. The snorkeling isn’t anything crazy but fun for the kids (ages 8-11). Our tour guide Captain Roger made the trip- very fun and knowledgeable. We even found some shark teeth (just enough for each kid 🧐). Overall well worth the $ for a couple hours of fun off the resort we stayed at.
