Anna Maria Island 2 Hour Dolphin Tours

Great experience! My daughter, son-in-law, grandsons, husband and I all agree that Captain Bruce gave us a tour that exceeded expectation!! Would highly recommend this experience!

My family and I took a two hour dolphin tour with Captain Bruce and had THE BEST TIME! Beautiful and comfortable boat, we saw lots of dolphins and learned so much about the area. Cannot recommend Captain Bruce enough! Thank you for the memories!

Captain Bruce made sure we had a fun trip looking for dolphins and manatees. He will go out of his way to make it a rewarding experience.

We took a 2 hour dolphin and mantee trip with Captain Bruce. The weather was not in our favor with strong winds and cool temperatures but Captain Bruce did a great job still finding both mantees and numerous pods of dolphins. The boat was very spacious and comfortable for all 6 of us. Captain Bruce's stories and knowledge of wildlife and the area made every minute enjoyable.

This was an amazing experience for both us adults and 2 kids (age 9 and 10). We had so much fun seeing the Manatees, Dolphins, and snorkeling for shells/sanddollars. Captain Bruce also told us alot of really cool facts about the different ocean life and other boats on the water. 10/10 will absolutely book with him again when we come back for another vacation! Couldn't have asked for a better time for all and money well spent!!

What an amazing time!! We booked the 3 hour dolphin and beginner snorkel tour and had the best time! The boat was clean, comfortable, modern and much nicer than any of the pontoon tour boats. Captain Bruce was professional, friendly, funny and a pleasure to work with. He was extremely knowledgeable of all the local wildlife and made the tour both fun and educational! He even helped us find some awesome shells and sea urchin during our snorkeling time. I can't recommend Passage Key Dolphin Tours enough!! Will definitely book again!

On our annual girls trip and took the 3 hour dolphin trip with snorkeling. We seen manatee and many dolphin. Captain Bruce was awesome and taught us many things we didn't know about dolphins and manatee. Very knowledgeable, fun and professional! Best dolphin cruise ever!

Easily the best day I’ve had visiting AMI. Saw several dolphins and a few manatees. Bruce knows what he’s doing! Easy going and friendly is an awesome combo for this dolphin tour! Great for all ages.

We had an awesome morning with Captain Bruce. He was a great captain and tour guide and really knows his stuff. We had 6 adults and the boat was spacious and comfortable. Captain Bruce customized the 2 hour tour to what we wanted to see. He took us to an eagle’s nest, which was awesome, but the highlight of the trip was the dolphins playing in the wake of the boat. Captain Bruce is an expert in knowing how to get the dolphins to surf the wake (see video!). We didn’t see any other tour boats in the area doing that. He was successful in getting them to surf the boat wake several times! So much fun! Spend a few dollars more and get your own customized private tour.

My family and I had a lovely Dolphin & Sunset Cruise with Captain Bruce. We witnessed how mother dolphins teach their little ones how to fish, viewed an Eagle feeding in a nest (on a private, pretty cove) and then the sunset did not disappoint! Don’t hesitate to book this tour. I plan to try some of his other offerings!

This mom and her pair of 16 year old boy/girl twins wanted a fun experience without a crowd. This tour was so much fun for all of us. Bruce and Keiko were fun and knowledgeable. We were looking forward to seeing dolphins and manatee, and we saw many. We had mom and baby dolphins engaged with their boat, leaping and chasing along the wake. Snorkeling at the sand bar was awesome, seeing live conch, snails, and sand dollars. We all had a fantastic time and Passage Key will be at the top of our to-do list the next time we vacation in the area.

I loved the tips and stories that Bruce and Keiko told us. We saw dolphins chase and leap behind the boat, manatees swimming around the docks in brackish water, and plenty of smaller critters in the shallow water. I 110% recommended Bruce and Keiko to be your top pick as your tour guides. They are amazing at what they do, they’ll keep you safe when your touring with them!

This was one of the best tours I’ve ever been on! We had Bruce and his partner and they were so fun!!! We got to see dolphins, manatee’s, crabs, fish, and so much more. I didn’t want to leave!

My husband and I booked the 3 hour beginners snorkeling and dolphin tour with Captain Bruce. He was awesome!!! So personable and knowledgeable about the area. We saw several manatees and dolphins up close!! Captain Bruce even got the dolphins to play with us following the boat waves. Such a cool experience!!! We got to get out and snorkel in about 3-4 feet of water. It was so fun swimming around to find sea urchins, clam shells, conch shells, etc. We even got to take them home with us as a memory!! This tour with Bruce is definitely one to remember!! Highly recommend booking a tour with him! You won’t regret it!!!

We booked a four hour build your own tour for our 6yr old’s birthday and Captain Bruce was excellent! We did beginner’s snorkeling and found sea urchins, sand dollars, and lots of shells! Saw lots or dolphin & manatee, too! Bruce was very informative and fun for our boys. We will definitely be back!

We booked Captain Bruce for a 4 hour boat ride to discover nature and dolphins. We had the best time ever! We went to a sandbar to collect sand dollars - Cap't Bruce was a champ and didn't stop until he had at least 10! (not live, of course). We then saw so many dolphins - he knows how to have them follow a wake and jump! Then we went to bird island to see our favorite pink duckbills. It was a wonderful trip - the boat is pristine and it was such a fun day. We can't wait to do it again.

Bruce and Kaco were great. We did the 4 hour boat tour which involved snorkeling, dolphin sightings, a trip to Egmont Key State Park and we even had a little time left over to do some sightseeing. The snorkeling equipment was very nice and they did a great job at telling us different facts about the island as well as educate us on a lot of different Florida related subjects. They were great company and I honestly don’t think I’d want to do it again with any other guides. The boat was very nice as well. Their price was very fair and it was the highlight of our trip!

Loved it!! Bruce and Keiko were wonderful tour guides. We started off looking for dolphins and Bruce was able to get them to swim alongside the boat for a bit. We then went looking for manatees and Bruce filled us in about the area and who owned some of the beautiful properties we passed. Next was snorkeling at 2 different locations where we saw sand dollars, crabs, sea urchins and more. It was a great way to start our vacation!

We had a great experience with Passage Key Dolphin Tours. We did a three hour snorkeling and dolphin tour. Bruce and Keiko were great hosts and very flexible for our family of six. Bruce and Keiko tailored our experience to meet the needs of our three children and Nana. They were very personable and really made it a fun experience! Bruce even hopped in the water to help teach our kids how to snorkel and helped them find and learn about the marine life. We saw tons of dolphins and a few manatees. The boat was perfect… brand new! lots of space and options for sun or shade. We would highly recommend Passage Key Dolphin tours for any private boating excursions.

I cannot say enough good things about this! There were 5 of us (2 grandparents, a 15 and 12 year old, and myself) Captain Bruce was great. Very informative about the area and what we were seeing. Incredibly clean and comfortable boat. We saw manatees and dolphins and Captain Bruce was even able to get the dolphins to ride our wives. Everyone had a great time. Not expensive at all and having our own boat was worth every dollar!

We did the Two Hour Dolphin cruise with Captain Bruce and his wife Keiko. They were very friendly, knew exactly where to go and as a result we saw a lot of dolphins at various points across the bay. Highly recommend them!

Excellent charter! We had a fantastic day- we found several dolphins- they jumped behind the boat! We also had a great day of shelling at Passage Key. We walked the entire island- it took 1.5 hours or longer. We did have to wade off the boat into 2-3 feet of water and the same back in- just so you are prepared. It was fine- no big deal...part of the experience. My daughter used the restroom on the boat- it was small but clean and served it's purpose! Bruce and Keiko were lovely and a lot of fun. They knew a lot about the area and have a great sense of humor. We just wanted to relax and let them lead the way and they did. We came home with some amazing memories and quite a few seashells. I would recommend and also do another tour when we are in the area again. Great mix of anything that you want to do. Thank you Bruce and Keiko for the highlight of our trip!

Amazing experience with Bruce and Keiko! Our family absolutely loved getting out on the water, we saw tons of dolphins-they even chased our boat for a while. We saw manatees and went to a beautiful spot to snorkel that was shallow enough our four year old even enjoyed it- seeing urchins, sand dollars, conchs etc. Highly recommend!

Had an awesome time with Bruce, saw tons of Dolphins and Manatees! He knows how to get them jumping. The Dolphins, not the Manatees. That would be crazy. Great group activity.

What a fantastic experience! Captain Bruce provided us with lots of interesting details about the area as we cruised through it, and we investigated several places to ensure we saw dolphins AND manatees. Even with less than perfect weather, we had a wonderful time! I would absolutely recommend this tour - can’t wait to go again!

Great 4 hour tour with Capt. Bruce and his wife. Super friendly couple, took us all over, customizing our tour to where we wanted to go. Saw dolphins and manatees. Learned some fun local history, saw fabulous homes, and visited parts of the islands we had never seen. A great day. Highly recommend.

My husband and I and another couple visited AMI last week and we had the pleasure of booking a 4 hour excursion with Passage Key Dolphin Tours. Bruce, who is the owner of the boat and company was our captain and he made the entire experience great from start to finish! We booked our tour online without talking over the phone and when we boarded the boat he asked us what we wanted to get out of our excursion and made sure we were all comfortable. The boat was very comfortable and nice, probably was the nicest tour boat we've ever been on or seen around the island! We got to see dolphins and then ended up snorkeling around some underwater ruins off Egmont key. If you don't know the history of Egmont key i highly recommend doing some research, it's very interesting! Bruce then took us to the beach on Egmont Key and we hiked around the island for a couple of hours and we returned to the boat. Bruce was a great guide and had plenty of fun stories to entertain us the entire time! We got back to the dock a little later than planned because of the headwinds coming back from Egmont Key, so Bruce suggested we visit the "Shore" restaurant on Longboat Key just right down the road from his dock, definitely worth the visit! Overall we loved this experience and it was the highlight of our vacation. When we are back on AMI we will book another excursion!

Amazing 6 hour tour with Captain Bruce & Co Captain Destiny! We saw everything we wanted too! Shelling on Passage Key, touring Egmont Island, saw dolphins & manatee, & a fantastic eco tour my son loved! You can’t go wrong spending the day with them! Super friendly & worked super hard to make sure we had the best day!

Captain Bruce could not have been more friendly, more accommodating or more professional. We had a 2 hour trip to see dolphins and manatees and Bruce scoured the local hotspots for both. When we saw dolphins Bruce ‘drove by’ several times to see if the dolphins would follow us and play (which they did!), and he also took us to a sandbank to look for sand dollars. Much appreciated the excellent service with a fascinating host on an excellent boat - thank you Bruce!

Great day on the water in a beautiful boat! Saw a lot of dolphins and even played with them with the wake of the boat. Captain Bruce very nice and pleased everyone with the trip!. Definitely would do another trip with them.

Captain Bruce and Destiny were awesome. We had a great time on our tour. They took great care of us and we got to see plenty of dolphins playing and swimming. They were excellent tour guides and I highly recommend. We will definitely use them again on our next trip.

We really enjoyed our time on the boat. It was very easy to make our reservation and the follow up and professionalism throughout was appreciated. We saw dolphins, went to two Islands where we were able to get off the boat and explore,collect shells or just enjoy the sand. Bruce was very knowledgeable, accommodating and a terrific captain. The boat had many seating options which made it very comfortable for our group to sit or lounge. We would highly recommend using Passage Key Dolphin tours and look forward to our next boat trip

Captain Bruce was amazing... and had everything best 2 hour dolphin sunset cruise... he took us all over and made sure my 5 year old daughter saw the dolphins. He also educated us about the island and the history... wonderful experience! We will come back to see Captain Bruce again when we visit Anna Marie next year! Thank you... was amazing!!!❤️❤️

We booked the cruise and “Bruce” was the ultimate guide! We were able to see dolphins, key landmarks, got out of the boat on a sandbar and see more marine life than we thought we would! Beautiful sunset too! Packed everything in on our tour! I would definitely recommend!

Captain Bruce is a fantastic guy, made our tour very special. His boat is really beautiful and comfortable. We loved the area and we got to see the dolphins. My family was super pleased. Highly recommend him!

Captain Bruce was awesome. We had a great time and he was very knowledgeable of the area. We didn’t see any dolphin, but did see a wonderful sunset and it was awesome just being out on the water. Thank you and I can say this was the highlight of our trip. Can’t wait to come back and will definitely call you again

From start to finish my family had a terrific time on the boat. We did the four hour trip and it flew by. The boat was a step up from typical rental boats. Plenty of space and it was new. Bruce was professional, knowledgeable, and was so nice to all of us. When we return, we will be sure to book with Passage Key Dolphin Tours.

Don't hesitate!!! If you are considering a boat tour, book now! With anything I do, I investigate, analyze, overanalyze, and investigate some more....the work is done for you. Don't miss your opportunity to take a tour with Captain Bruce. You will experience a top notch cruise on a beautiful boat with an educated, fun, down to earth captain. The dolphins are the icing on the cake.

Me and my family just did a two hour dolphin tour with Captain Bruce. What an amazing experience! We ended up adding an extra hour or so because we were having so much fun. We got to stop and swim at some sandbars and seen a lot of dolphins and got to look at some beautiful houses. You couldn’t ask for a better captain Captain Bruce! Very friendly and very knowledgeable. His boat was extremely clean and brand new. It even has a bathroom!I highly recommend booking a tour with him. He’s a very amazing person! Just sitting there talking with him was a highlight all on its own!

The 2-hour dolphin tour with Passage Key was a highlight of our Anna Maria vacation! Our party of 6 fit comfortably on Captain Bruce's beautiful new boat—it was a treat to get out on the water and cool down in this oh-so sweet power boat... even our very picky teens gave it thumbs up. The Captain shared interesting dolphin facts and information about the waterway (we boated only on the bay side because of winds that day) and area. We were fortunate to see baby dolphins swimming alongside their Mothers! The most amazing part of the tour was when 3 dolphins followed in the wake of our boat for a long time—playing and jumping in the wake on either side of the boat. Everyone in our party was mesmerized and awed watching these beautiful creatures so close-up. Thanks so much for an unforgettable experience Captain Bruce.
