With a stellar reputation built over 15+ years, this outfit clearly knows how to deliver memorable dolphin encounters and eco-tours. Captain Ty, Josh, and Mike lead tours alongside knowledgeable naturalists like Ashley, Christina, and Savannah, who bring the local wildlife and ecosystem to life with fascinating details about dolphins, birds, manatees, and mangrove habitats. Guests consistently rave about seeing multiple dolphin pods, often playing in the boat's wake, plus spotting ospreys, bald eagles, and other wildlife. The shelling island stops are a particular hit with families. The crew's friendly, professional approach stands out across reviews. They take time to answer questions, accommodate special requests (like hunting down manatees for an eager kid), and create a relaxed atmosphere on clean, spacious pontoon boats. Parking can get tight, so arriving early helps. While one tour had exceptionally abundant dolphin activity, the captain honestly noted that experiences vary, though every review suggests wildlife sightings are reliably impressive regardless.
We had a blast with Captain Mike!! We saw a manatee , a family of dolphins , amazing birds , and a sting ray ! Amazing bang for your buck !! Highly recommend this company !!
