Families, groups of teens, and adults alike report seeing dolphins, exploring sandbars, paddleboarding, and enjoying everything from sunset cruises to bar hopping adventures. The real standout here is the flexibility and genuine care from the entire team. Several reviewers mention how understanding and compassionate the staff were when emergencies required last-minute cancellations or rescheduling. The tours themselves seem perfectly paced, with captains taking great photos, sharing local knowledge about marine life and area hotspots, and creating a fun, relaxed atmosphere.

    We had the best day with Mike! It was a perfect day, great weather, and got to snorkel and find amazing conch, hermit crabs and beautiful shells. We enjoyed the views but the highlight was the animals we saw!! We saw dolphins multiple times but the best part when a family of dolphins rode close up in the waves behind our boat! It was incredible! And to top it off we saw a manatee! We even got in the water and swam near him. Our kids were starstruck and felt so blessed to see everything we did today. Mike was a great captain, sharing great facts about the island and sea creatures, accommodating our needs and was very friendly. We made core memories today! Thank you Island Hoppers!
