Very comfortable boat. Captain Bob knew the names of all the birds, plants trees and fish that we saw. Encountered many dolphins on our tour in various locations.
This was amazing!! Saw dozens of dolphins within a few feet of the boat. The pontoon ride alone was fun and we stopped at a marina for treats. The captain was fun and knowledgeable. Highly recommend this.
My husband and I had a great experience on the tour. We saw quite a few dolphins throughout the time and even a sting ray! It was interesting learning about the local birds and even seeing the bridge that pivots because of how low the bridge is that boats are unable to go under it. We both had a great time and would consider doing it once a year since each time would be a different experience.
Amazing, our guide was professional, and funny. Smaller group was a treat and made the tour a 5 star experience.
No one ever showed up. Never picked up a call or even communicated with us. Sent us sketchy pictures of orcas? and the meeting spot. Very unprofessional. DO NOT BOOK!!!
Super friendly and knowledgeable guide. Got to see dolphins and educated us on other wildlife and the surrounding area.
Capt. Bob gives a great tour of local waters, we saw many Dolphins, including a baby and one that came right up to the boat. It was very comfortable, it is Fl so bring sunscreen if you need, we brought a small cooler. He had a great knowledge of all of the wildlife and waters. Great highlight of any trip! A++
Captain Bob was great! We saw a lot of dolphins and learned about wildlife. He was on time and was everything we expected . Great day to be on the water!
Such fun! Our grandkids were enthralled with seeing many dolphins splash playfully! Our tour boat captain was so knowledgeable about all the birds and wildlife, and he made it a fun and memorable experience!
Wonderful excursion. Saw lots of dolphins and shore birds. The captain was very knowledgeable.
It was excellent,we saw dolphins,manatees and tons of birds. The captain was very nice and informative about everything was saw.
I do not recommend this company. My family of 6 wanted a private tour to see dolphins and manatees. Booking the tour was cumbersome and took a number of emails and phone calls to accomplish it. Not being from Melbourne, we depended upon GPS to get us to the launch site, but Google Maps does not recognize the address and steers you wrong. I spent about an hour the day before the tour trying to verify the launch site, and there is no signage at the location. When I called the company, I got only voice mail. I emailed, and Captain Bob sent directions for a new launch site considerably farther away from where we were staying. The directions in the email did not match the street address given in the email, and as a result we were waiting at the opposite end of a long parking lot from where the boat was waiting. I called Captain Bob and figured out how to find him. What I was not expecting when we found Captain Bob (only about 5 minutes later and still before the scheduled time of departure) was an immediate scolding for having waited at the building that had the street address printed on it that was in Captain Bob’s email. No greeting. No pleasantries. Just a lengthy harangue from our host. I finally had to ask him why he was trying to make me feel bad, at which point he tried to pass his conduct off as a joke (it wasn’t). The first hour of the tour was a close up look at real estate along the Indian River. We eventually found a pod of dolphins and he spent a good amount of time letting us view them. His attempt to find manatees was very limited, and we saw none before it was time to go back. His comparing Nancy Pelosi to the age of dinosaurs interjected politics that did not match our own into a wildlife tour. The scolding I received before ever getting on the boat set a negative tone for the whole experience.
Excellent experience! Very comfortable boat and smooth ride. Bob is very knowledgeable about the area and Florida wildlife. We were able to see a lot of dolphins today. Highly recommended!
This was a great tour! We saw lots of wildlife including many dolphins. We had a nice, relaxing boat ride and the captan was very knowledgeable about the area!
Very knowledgeable and good rude, saw dolphins and lots of birds. Great price for activity. Would recommend. No manatee
They canceled me as I was walking out the door. I was so excited to go. They offered me to go next day but I was leaving so I couldn't. VERY disappointed 😞
Awesome tour. Very comfortable accommodations. Seen lots of dolphins and very informative about the area. Will do again in the future with guest visiting.
Saw lots of dolphins, there were no manatees where we were taken, so 50% great and 50% bummer (we especially chose this tour to see manatees). Nice information shared about the birds, and the locals (captain knew a lot about many of the house owners).
Saw so many dolphins! But captain also showed us burds we've never seen before and had no idea we're native to Florida. Highly recommend this tour!
Captain Bob is a great tour guide! He is super knowledgeable and does a great job!! He knows so much information about the wildlife and surrounding areas. He is always able to find the dolphins and even showed us a baby dolphin this year! Thanks again for another fantastic tour!
Lovely. We saw many dolphins, no manatees but that didn’t matter. We had a great time! We certainly would recommend this for anyone who enjoys being on the water.
Capt Bob knows the area extremely well. His knowledge of the area and the wild life is great. I suggest the tour for any family with children. Great value for the budget minded.
Do NOT BOOK!!!! We had tickets for this morning and NO SHOW!!! Called and called left messages. Finally captain Bob called back and said trip advisor never told him and to their up with them! Called them and they said he was informed. Called and called again conveniently no answer. Thanks a lot thus was our vacation!!
My kids and I had a great time!! Unfortunately we didn’t see any manatees, but we were able to see a ton of river dolphins and aquatic birds.
Great! We saw many dolphins, more than we expected, and feeding pelicans, and anhingas. Captain Bob shared a lot of interesting facts about the animals as well as the splendid houses, boats and bridges we passed. What a great way to get out on the water and hear from a knowledgeable local. The boat was small, so there were only seven passengers. Intimate and personable! Thanks, Captain Bob.
We had a great time on our Dolphin tour. We saw many dolphins, birds and big houses. The Captain was very knowledgeable about the area and the wildlife. We will likely do this tour again.
We had a lot of fun and saw so many dolphins. The captain was a nice guy and would definitely go back again.
My husband and I absolutely love this boat ride: Captain Bob is so friendly and knowledgeable about the whole area. We love seeing the different variety of birds, and of course the dolphin sightings are amazing. We do this boat trip numerous times a year. Just the boat trip is awesome. I thoroughly recommend it *****
Great trip as always: we book this boat ride every time we're in Florida: Captain Bob is awesome, very knowledgeable and entertaining. Great customer service. Would thoroughly recommend *****
It was very crowded on the boat.. We were all squished together. The captain talked the whole time. I wouldn’t do it again.
It was great seeing the dolphins and learning more about them. It was also interesting learning about the mix of the fresh water with the salt water
We went on the dolphin tour with Captain Bob gave us an extremely amazing experience. It was awesome to check out Florida waters
Saw the dolphins and a manatee. Boat was comfortable and Captain Bob was great. The weather was nice the trip was informative.
The captain was great! Kept the ride smooth which was great for the little ones. The captain was extremely knowledgeable of the waters and all the area surrounding it. Kept us entertained by teaching us about all kinds of wildlife that live in the area. Put us on lots of dolphins and manta rays. Highly recommend. We will book this tour guide again next year.
