Such great fun! Crew AMAZING, 1 hour tour just right, boat comfortable AND super cool looking!! Honestly have done many tours in many places, and for what this was I couldn't recommend it more highly! Dolphins did not disappoint either--very playful right in our wake close to the back corner of the boat! No need to look at other tours if you want a relatively small group for an hour of joy and zen!

It was an exciting experience really I like the view of the ocean… me shouting “look at the dolphins!” I had the best time of my life. Thanks so much team

It was an awesome, amazing experience and would definitely do it again!! And the guides were super cool and informative.

It is always a question whether you will see dolphins. We were lucky that they were already visible at the beginning

Wonderful people and professionals. Some of the best food I’ve had since moving to Tampa.
