    With nearly 2,700 reviews and a stellar reputation, this dolphin cruise operator clearly knows how to deliver. The crew consistently gets called out by name—Ryan, Trey, Mike, Chelsea, Jacob, and others—which tells you something about the quality of people running these trips. Guests rave about how knowledgeable and accommodating the staff is, even managing to make foggy conditions fun and memorable. The dolphin sightings seem to be the real deal here. Multiple reviewers mention seeing 30+ dolphins, pods breaching the water, and close-up encounters that exceeded expectations even during off-season months like January. The sunset cruises on their catamaran get particular praise for the relaxed vibe, comfortable seating, and live music that sets the right atmosphere. Families with kids and couples alike report having fantastic experiences, with many becoming repeat customers. The consensus is clear: great value, expert captains who know where to find wildlife, and a crew that keeps the drinks flowing and energy high.

    An incredible experience! My parents took my sister and I on this, and I had so much fun taking pictures! Liz and Ryan did a great job. Luckily, there were many dolphins, and even a ship passing through that the dolphins played in front of! I would highly recommend this trip!!
