Reviews
The captain and crew provided excellent information about the islands and dolphins. We had plenty of opportunities to see many dolphins during the tour.
It was a wonderful trip where we spotted many dolphins. The captain and crew were excellent. Our entire family, including our 2-year-old, had a fantastic time.
This was a pleasant short excursion. Observing dolphins in their natural habitat was wonderful. The commentary was informative, and there were snacks and a selection of drinks available.
We took an 11 o'clock cruise to watch the dolphins, and it exceeded our expectations. A lively pod of dolphins provided an entertaining experience. The captain and his assistant were both friendly and well-informed, though I apologize for not recalling their names.
This was a wonderful eco tour in Boca Ciega Bay. We encountered three pods of dolphins, with the first sighting happening early on. We spent enough time with them to learn about their habits, habitat, and feeding. The scenery in the bay was also quite beautiful, far superior to starting from Clearwater or the St Pete Pier. The crew was friendly and well-informed. There was enjoyable background music between discussions, and cold drinks were available for purchase. As a local, I highly recommend this experience.
We spotted numerous dolphins during the trip. It was a fantastic experience, especially considering the cost. Plus, snacks and drinks were available on board at reasonable prices.
You are sure to see dolphins, as the crew ensures that every passenger spots some before heading back. The crew also interacts wonderfully with everyone on board. It was a fantastic experience.
The captain was outstanding, and I had a great time on the tour. We spotted dolphins and a manatee, and the view of the large mansions was impressive.
An absolutely fantastic experience with Colin and Kellen. They were both very knowledgeable and brought a lot of fun to the tour. Thank you, guys.
The dolphin experience was wonderful, especially seeing the calves. The crew was fantastic. I hope my grandkids will have the chance to see them too.
