The Dolphin Watch experience was fantastic, with the dolphins being quite lively that afternoon. The beach, which is approximately 8 miles long, is stunning. Shelling was enjoyable, and we were provided with a bag to collect our finds.
The tour matched the description perfectly. We enjoyed a 75-minute boat ride to the island, spent an hour there, and then a 45-minute return trip. The boat was comfortable and included a small bathroom. The captain and crew were knowledgeable and attentive. The island was beautiful and peaceful, with few people on the beach. The water was calm, and we were lucky enough to see dolphins, as the captain kindly stopped for everyone to take a look.
It was a relaxing experience where we observed plenty of wildlife and had a great time shelling. The Captain and mate were both friendly and provided a lot of helpful information.
This morning was ideal for my sister, who has special needs. She enjoyed the boat ride, spotted wildlife, and collected beautiful shells on the beach. The highlight was dolphins swimming beside and in front of the boat on our way back, adding a perfect touch to a wonderful experience. Captains Dillon and Bobby were exceptionally knowledgeable, kind, and respectful, and my sister seems quite taken with them both.
Both guides were excellent—engaging, friendly, and full of useful information. We truly appreciated the entire experience.
An enjoyable experience that was perfectly timed—not too lengthy or too brief. Our captain provided great insights throughout the tour.
The amount of time for shelling was insufficient, and there weren't many shells to find. We spent too much time looking for dolphins, which was disappointing. Additionally, the directions to the location were very poor; I had to call for help to get around the confusing 6th Ave S signs.
We encountered numerous dolphins and birds, and the private beach was fantastic for gathering shells. It was just the right duration for young children and those with lighter skin tones.
The island was stunning; it's like a dream, and the people were incredibly friendly. I was fortunate enough to see dolphins and eagles. I highly recommend this experience.
Captain Chris was fantastic. We had a perfect day for our ride, and Keewaydin exceeded our expectations. We spotted various wildlife, including a dolphin, and gained valuable insights about the area. I will absolutely do this again!
