2 Hour Dolphin And Sightseeing Tour

From start to finish our tour was top notch. Captain Carey took great care of us. He was knowledgeable, pleasant and just fun to be around. He was so patient with our curious 11 year old. He answered every question fully and thoroughly. The dolphins in the area seem to know him well. We got to see quite a few showing off in the wake of his boat. Would highly recommend this tour and captain Carey to everyone. Probably the highlight of our trip.

Wonderful fun filled day for the family. Captain Karie is fun and knowledgeable about the area and the wildlife. He also is able to draw the dolphin in to play. We had dolphins following our boat for about 10-12 mins with lots of jumps and entertainment. Captain Karie also involved the kids letting them drive and teaching them how to steer the boat. The boat is easy to get on and off but requires a big step down/up so some assistance maybe required for younger kids.

We had a wonderful day filled with memories that will last us a lifetime! Thank you, Captain Karie!

If you want a guaranteed dolphin tour this is your charter! He is determined to get the dolphins to play in his boat wake. My family and I internally gave up, but he came through on his promise and boy was it a highlight. Not only did this make it one of the most memorable experiences for my three children, but also for my parents. My parents couldn't stop raving about how unforgettable and memorable the experience was - one of the best things they have ever done on vacation. My children can't stop talking about how they saw dolphins up close - like they were smiling at us. Truly spectacular. Also, he took us to a sand bar where we found cool seashells, touched live hermit crabs, and saw a baby hammerhead shark! So cool! Not to mention how knowledge the captain is about the ocean and wildlife in the area. We loved learning about the area from him. So much fun, highly recommend!!

Explored Midnight Pass - fascinating. Had dolphin jumping in our wake in Big Pass. Great trip.

Captain Karie was great with the children. We saw dolphins within the first few minutes and he called them to the boat so they could jump through the wake of the boat. Highly recommend this experience. Thank you Captain Karie we had a great time!

The most relaxing and fun tour and Captain Karie is the best. Dolphins 🐬 sited and performed in the wake.

Captain Karie is the best! This was our second time doing the dolphin tour with him. He always finds the dolphins and gets them dancing in the boat wake. I highly recommend him and his tours! Thanks for another great day on the water, Karie

Very relaxing and knowledgeable

Captain Karie gave us an experience that was so much more than expected. I have been on sea life sightseeing tours before that promoted a plethora but saw a fish or two, Captain Karie was a Dolphin whisperer for sure. It was as if he had a personal relationship with the dolphins 🐬 & they wanted to perform for him & his guests. The dolphin’s were practically jumping in our boat. That is not all, from the minute Captain K greeted us it was a great experience. He took our bags, ensured we got on the boat safely, drove smoothly. & provided snorkel gear at the amazing sand key that he dropped anchor we swam at. It was a wonderful few hours spent outside of reality. Thank you Captain Kairie Nicole & Diane Hudack💜

Actually did the 4 hour excursion this time. This was our 3rd trip with Captain Karie - and again he never disappoints. Dolphins, manatees, sandbars and sun - what a perfect day! Thank you Karie for making my daughter’s graduation trip extra special!

Our experience was breath taking! We couldn’t count the dolphins there were so many. Captain Karie Daniel was awesome, he showed us manatees, birds and many dolphins. Highly recommend him for this tour!

What an amazing tour! We were hoping to just see a dolphin. We never expected them to follow the boat, ride the wake, and do all kinds of jumps! It was just our family on a very comfortable boat with a great captain who we could talk to, learn from, and who pretty much seemed to know the dolphins personally! It was easily the highlight of our vacation!

We had our grandaughter and a friend visiting for a few days and needed to keep them entertained. Didn't think twice about booking AGAIN with Captain Karie. He always provides a fun adventure and really knows how to get the dolphins jumping! The girls loved it, but honestly so did we! A dolphin tour with Suncoast Adventures is worth it every time and a must when you have out of town guests.

Loved the tour. The captain shared great info about the Intracoastal beaches, wildlife, and Midnight Pass. He knew exactly where dolphins hang out.

Very fun experience and captain was super friendly!

Had a great time seeing the dolphins. Karie is a great captain and very knowledgeable on the wildlife as well as important landmarks. Book with him for an all around awesome experience!

the coolest experience, with the nicest captain!

What a wonderful day ( 4 hours) with Captain Karie! We were a group of 6 including 2 teenagers and everyone said it was the highlight of the trip! He took us to a sandbar where we saw a stingray and he has the dolphins jumping out of the water following the wake of the boat! We saw a giant manatee, spoonbills, iguanas, and we saw some beautiful homes along the way. We will definitely book again when our next guests come down!

We had a truly fantastic time and we got to see a lot of wildlife, much more than I think we had bargained for. We got to see manatees and a pot of dolphins played around our boat and in the wake for about an hour. It was amazing!! I would highly recommend this tour, 10/10. The boat was also super clean and well equipped.

Captain Karie was incredible! He showed us a ton of wildlife and was an amazing guide. The whole tour was great but the dolphin experience was truly unbelievable. I would absolutely book again!

The BEST dolphin tour you can find, honestly! We debated between the bigger pontoon boat tours, and are so glad we went with Captain Karie and his private boat tour- the views of the dolphin pods tailing the boat were unbeatable. Super kid friendly and you don’t have to navigate other tourists fighting for views. We’ve booked with Suncoast tours now twice, about 3 years apart and have had the same impeccable experience both trips! Even saw a manatee as we were docking in the marina. Would definitely recommend!

This trip was a birthday gift for our son-in-law from our daughter. My wife and I were thrilled to be invited. The four of us were greeted by Captain Karie and welcomed aboard his pristine 24 foot deck boat. His knowledge of the area cannot be overstated. He knows where to find dolphins, rays, various bird species and giant iguanas. He can tell you the names of blossoming plants and trees. History of the area homes and who lives there and their value. He knows the best sandbars for snorkeling and what kind of shells you find and the crustaceans that inhabit them. The names of the canals and the cuts in between the keys and every great eatery and area attraction. Our family will be taking about our trip for many years. I recommend his charter 100%.

It was a great trip with lots of up close dolphin sightings and unusual bird sightings I. Their nesting habitat. I highly recommend having Karie as your guide. His boat was immaculate and comfortable. Wonderful fun!

We had the best time on this 2-hour dolphin tour! It was such a fun experience for our whole family. Captain Kerry was fantastic—so knowledgeable about the area and the dolphins. He truly seemed like a dolphin whisperer! Because of his expertise, we were able to see so many dolphins up close, which was incredible. Our kids had an absolute blast and were smiling the entire time. The tour was the perfect length, relaxing but also really exciting with all the dolphin sightings. If you’re thinking about booking a dolphin tour, I highly recommend this one—especially with Captain Kerry. It was definitely a highlight of our trip!

We had an awesome morning with Capt. Karie last week. Amazing dolphins, and more dolphins...and more dolphins...! And a beautiful stretch of herons, spoonbills, and egrets. Nice views of Sarasota from the bay, and ended with a peaceful float around Midnight Pass. Highly recommended!!!

This was my daughter’s first time on a boat, and it was such a special experience for us! The captain was so personable and made sure we saw lots of dolphins. He really made the trip fun and memorable. We had the best time and would definitely recommend it!

We had a great time with Capt Kari. We saw lots of dolphins and Kari had the boat create a wake so that they jumped and surfed on the wake- it was great fun!! We even had a baby dolphin jumping with us!! We also went near a bird island and he pointed out all the different birds. He’s got a great sense of humor and made the trip enjoyable. Also loved the restaurant recommendation for lunch!

We had an AWESOME and AMAZING experience with Captain Karie Daniel. He is the best dolphins whisperer we have ever encountered. His ability to call the dolphins is unmatched. Seriously the highlight of our trip!

Capt. Kerry was great. He found dolphins and got them to play in the wake behind the boat. We went all the way up to Sarasota Bay. It was a fun afternoon, and we will book him again.

It was a great experience would recommend it to everyone

Captain Karie Daniel was amazing! Made sure we saw the dolphins at every opportunity. Just enough conversation. It was a beautiful, exciting day!

Captain Cori was amazing! He took us on a beautiful boat ride where we saw multiple pods of dolphins. It was evident he knew the waterway, and how to attract the dolphins to follow his boat, giving us such a fun-filled day enjoying his boat and the beautiful scenery. Highly highly recommend!! Thank you Captain Cori!

Captain Karie was a wonderful tour guide and host on our dolphin tour. We say so many dolphins - and so much other wildlife. Karie was knowledgeable, personable, and obviously is passionate about what he does. The boat was in pristine condition, too. You're in for a treat with this dolphin sightseeing tour! Thank you, Captain Karie for a wonderful time!

What an incredible adventure! Captain Karie was kind & informative & gave us the BEST dolphin experience! Several dolphins ,including a baby,swam & leapt in our wake for a long time. He also pointed out a sea turtle & eagle nest! Our family highly recommends Suncoast Adventure Tours!

Captain Karie gave us an amazing excursion! We saw numerous dolphins, he played great music and was a great conversationalist. My hat flew off while we were sailing and he even went back and pulled it out of the water for me! Amazing

We had an incredible time on the boat tour and were lucky enough to have dolphins jumping alongside us on two separate occasions, each lasting several minutes. It was truly a fantastic experience, and we will absolutely be booking again. Captain Karie gives a wonderful tour and made the whole trip even more enjoyable

Karie was a fantastic captain and owner. He was very personable and friendly. His boat was beautifully maintained and pristine. He was informative and knowledgeable about the dolphins in a way that makes the experience very enjoyable. He was patient, and engaged with my two grandchildren. He even let them “captain” the boat. I highly recommend…you won’t be disappointed.

Great day on the water with Captain Karie! Boat was clean and comfortable. We had lots of fun and Karie was very knowledgeable about the area and wildlife. Saw Spoonbills, bald eagle, dolphins and lots of other birds. The dolphins were super playful in our wake. Would highly recommend booking with Captain Karie!

Karie was an amazing guide that made the evening outstanding. He showed us several dolphin and a beautiful sunset. It was an exceptional experience and I Willy’s highly recommend him to anyone in the area. Actually, I sent his business card to some friends that live relatively close and said, “you must do this!”

Our charter boat trip was an absolute blast! Captain Karie was friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable. The boat was pristine, with comfy seating, making for a great viewing experience. The captain ensured a safe, smooth ride while pointing out stunning views and wildlife. Highly recommend this 5-star experience!

Took Captain Karie’s dolphin excursion tour for my birthday. One of the best birthdays I have ever had! When the dolphins were being a little shy, Captain Karie didn’t give up. He found some who wanted to play and oh what fun it was to watch. Can’t wait to take my kids and their families next time.

We had the best day with Captain Karie on our dolphin tour. Captain Karie was welcoming the second we arrived at the marina, was super knowledgeable about the ocean,area and marine life, and he made this a lasting family memory. He even let our son captain the boat and that made his whole vacation! Our 3 year old has been playing imaginary boat tour since we got home and pretends to be Capt Karie. We will definitely be back and book with Captain Karie every time we come down to visit our family!

Had an absolutely amazing time on the dolphin tour today. Captain Karie is so knowledgeable about the wildlife, the area, and knows where to find all of the dolphins! They were within feet of the boat and jumping into the wake. We even got a bonus manatee sighting. All around superb trip, we will be back to book with him again!

We had such a good time and captain keri knew exactly where to find the dolphins even did his little whistle and they were playing following the boat

Very nice adventure and very relaxing. Our captain was very informative and we enjoyed his stories of the area.

Captain Karie is amazing! This is our second time going out with him. He is so personable and friendly. We enjoyed seeing the dolphins again and having a nice relaxing time just the two of us. He is also a friend of the environment and the animals. Captain Karie goes above and beyond to make sure you have an amazing time. Core memories were made! We plan on coming back next year and booking a trip with our boys. Thank you Captain for making our morning so memorable. Looking forward to seeing you again in 2026!

Such an amazing experience! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a boat ride tour. We saw so many dolphins! Thank you for such a great experience!

The trip was phenomenal! We booked day of and Karie was very nice! We had a great trip around for 2 hours on the Dolphin tour! We saw dolphins, manatees and a bunch of birds and wildlife! He was super knowledgeable of the area as well as how to drive the boat in congested conditions! Strongly recommend!!!
