Angie was great! We had a good time! Well worth the price. Even after finding out it was cheaper to buy tickets at the ticket booth. But I wouldn't have wanted to take that chance of it being overbooked.

Great tour in the bay and saw so many dolphins. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. It was a fun experience. The water was choppy but it didn’t stop us from having a great ride. Learned about space x and history of the island in that area.

Very knowledgeable presentation of the area. Family enjoyed the sea life exhibit and touching the starfish. We saw several dolphins even a few mother and babies.

We really enjoyed seeing the dolphins and other marine life. Nothing bad to say about the cruise, just wish they wouldn’t allow smoking on the boat.

Great time with Capt. Mike and crew Angie and Devon. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Great time finding dolphins. 10 out of 10. Also awesome to have the littles be able to see the sea creatures little show and tell.

My kids loved seeing the dolphins. The cruise narrator was quirky and fun. The energy on the boat was very high, there was singing and dancing and it was a good time, even for me who tends to be a wallflower. I would 10/10 recommend.

The captain and crew really worked hard to.make our trip enjoyable. The crew is always walking around helping you to spot the dolphins and offering to take pictures of your group for you. I have been on this cruise 4 times and we always see at least a dozen dolphins. When they "surf" the boat wake it's so fun to watch them having fun with us! If you go on the 3pm trip you will also enjoy seeing what they net from the waters. The puffer fish is so cool! Don't worry, they let them go! During the 90 mins the captain narrates sights along the route and interesting information.
