    Things to know

    Resorts may charge a parking fee that is not controlled by the operator. You may need to step into water up to knee to thigh height during boarding and unloading.

    Cancellation Policy

    Full refund with 24 hours notice of cancellation. Full refund if the operator cancels due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances. No-shows will be charged the full price of the reservation.

    FAQs

    Arrive at least 30 minutes before your scheduled departure time. If you miss your pickup’s departure time, the boat can’t return for you, and there are no refunds for missing the boat.

    Pickup timing depends on your selected location: Postcard Inn departs 20 minutes before the set departure time, Sirata Beach Resort departs 15 minutes before, and Dolphin Beach Resort boards 10 minutes before.

    Board directly on the beach behind the resorts. After you park, walk onto the beach and look for the yellow roof hut near the water.

    With an exceptional rating across thousands of reviews, this operation clearly knows how to deliver memorable water experiences. Customers consistently rave about the friendly, knowledgeable crew who create a welcoming atmosphere from start to finish. The sunset cruises are particularly popular, featuring stops at Sand Dollar Island for shell hunting and frequent dolphin sightings that guests describe as magical. Captain Justin gets specific praise for being responsive and accommodating, while crew members like John and Bailey stand out for their local knowledge and attentive service. The variety of activities is impressive, from parasailing adventures to jet ski tours and boat charters. Reviewers mention great music, well-stocked boats, and crews who strike the perfect balance between informative and fun. The booking process is described as seamless, and many guests specifically note they'd return on their next visit. At around $125 for the boat tours, travelers consistently feel it's money well spent for the quality of experience they receive.
