Anna Maria Island Dolphin Sightseeing Adventure

It was so amazing. Ben the guide was so funny and nice. He was full of information. Best experience ever

We enjoyed the trip but it was very choppy waters and so it was difficult to spot the dolphins compared to calmer waters. Our guide was great and maneuvered the boat as best he could to get close to the dolphins we did see. It was a long ride for not many sightings but understandable.. A few shark fins spottted and one ray.

The boat ride all around the whole island was nice. But we expected to see a lot of wildlife. We were really disappointed that we only saw a part of 3 dolphins bodies that were feeding and the top back of 1 manatee. The captain only told facts about the surrounding area and didn't really interact with the 30 or so people on the boat. It was kind of dull. I have been on several of these boat trips in other areas of the gulf and eastern Florida. This trip was the least entertaining and most disappointing of all 4 dolpin sighting trips. We weren't even able to take any pictures or videos of wildlife.

Great experience. Bring sunglasses and sunscreen. The captain provided water if you wanted it. We went at 9am and saw several dolphins and a few manatees.

Andrew was an awesome guide and gave us a great dolphin experience! Best tour ever! Highly recommend this tour!

Me and my family had a splendid time. The captain made this experience extra memorable, spinning the boat around letting us have a perfect view of watching the dolphins, stingrays, and manatees. There weren’t many people in the boat , which didn’t make it too crowded. The atmosphere was gorgeous, and there weren’t too many waves. With the captains dedication we were so close to seeing mermaids lol!

Benny, our captain was great. Had a good time, got to see several dolphins and a few other interesting things. He gave us great info about the dolphins, AMI, and restaurants.

We had a wonderful experience. We were able to see a number of dolphins and explore the beautiful waters.

We had a wonderful experience on our dolphin tour. The crew did a wonderful job finding dolphins for us to view and providing us with lots of knowledge about the island. We recommend taking a tour when visiting AMI.

the entire boat was shaded, which was nice! there were 6 of us in my group and we each got our own bench to have great views the whole ride. we went in the middle of the day between thunderstorms and were still able to see ~10-12 dolphins! our guide jake was knowledgeable and kept us entertained the whole ride. recommended!

We had fun exploring the waters and dolphin watching around AMI! We had several sightings of dolphins in multiple spots! Andrew was very informative :)

This was a fun tour. With wildlife, you never know what experience you’re going to get. However, our guide was knowledgeable and the wildlife was on full display! We saw dolphins, many of which would come near the boat and jump in the boat’s wake. We also got lucky and spotted a sea turtle, bonnet head shark, another shark we couldn’t identify, and many fish. It was a great time for us and our three kids!

Great tour ! Captain Mike was awesome ! We saw lots of dolphins and manatees ! Perfect morning.

Jake was a very good tour guide. He gave us a lot of information about dolphins and we were able to see quite a few of them.

Andrew was our captain and provided us with the best experience I've ever had on a dolphin cruise. He was personable, professional, and knowledgeable. I gained information while seeing numerous dolphins, a manatee, and many sharks. It was an experience of a lifetime!

Luke and Jake were great boat captains. Saw lots of dolphins. Chilled out at jewfish island sand bar. It was great!

My trip got canceled due to not enough people signed up and so far they haven't refunded my money. I wouldn't recommend this company at all

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the area and we were able to see a ton of dolphins!!!!!!

What a great trip and we found many dolphins. Jake was very friendly and knowledgeable

I think we got really lucky and had the perfect day. Calm water, a little overcast with pockets of sunshine so it wasn't too hot. We got to see dolphins with new babies, a manatee and a few sharks. Fantastic tour!

Great crew that made sure we got those dolphin sightings.

Our team had an amazing time in the dolphin sightseeing tour. Our experience with the staff from booking all way through the actual tour was seamless. There professionalism, service, friendliness, and knowledge made for an excellent excursion. They took us right to the dolphins! And boy did they put on a show! Almost as if they were hired to entertain us! My team thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely do it again! I highly recommend The Salty Dolphin Anna Maria Island Dolphin Tours for your next excursion.

Enjoyed this sightseeing tour with a boat full of my friends and coworkers as a staff appreciation outing. The vessel was clean, comfortable, and in good repair. The staff on board were friendly, professional, and knowledgeable about the area and wildlife. We enjoyed cold water and ambient music between the numerous dolphin sightings. Great experience! Highly recommend!!!

Hats blow off and have the camera ready when the Captain stops. It was a great experience. Captain Bob was entertaining, knowledgeable but most of all humorous.

The boat company was very efficient and welcoming. Boat captain & crew were very helpful and knowledgeable and friendly. We saw dolphins swimming, jumping and playing. Learned about some dolphin habits and instincts. We went birding and enjoyed the entire trip.

We had an incredible experience saw lots of dolphins up close as well as manatees. Our captain Andrew was amazing and very knowledgeable he worked hard to get us the best experience. Highly recommend.

Great ride w/Mike our Captain wished for more dolphins but there were a lot of boats out, very relaxing ride and the tour was well guided, Thanks Mike

Chad was the best tour guide!! We had only been on the water a few minutes when we saw dolphins. We were able to also see baby dolphins, manatee, a shark and various types of birds. He gave us lots information about the area. I highly recommend this boat tour.

Excellent Tour Great Boat Saw lots of dolphins - Guides were friendly informative and professional- It was an excellent day !!!!!

They contacted me two hours before our scheduled trip and canceled it because there weren’t enough people signed up. I think that is wrong!

The tour was amazing. We saw manatees and dolphins, and captain ‘Andrew’ was very nice. Amazing experience. Thank you !

It was fantastic. A Dolphin boat tour. We saw 20 to 30 dolphins, even a new born.

It was well worth the money. Saw plenty of dolphins and our captain, Chad was amazing and so knowledgeable.

Captain Mike was welcoming, knowledgeable of the area and history of Ana Marie Island. He also made sure to engage the attendees go to the areas where dolphins and manatees were sited.

It was a great time. Nice boat that held 40 people, captain Mike and staff was great, we saw about a dozen dolphins close up, and nice boat trip around the island. Enjoyable ride to spend an afternoon.

The 2 hour dolphin tour was awesome. We set sail right at the appointed time. The boat was clean and comfortable, we were able to move about the boat while it was sailing. The captain was friendly and extremely knowledgeable! He shared a wealth of information about the dolphins and their lifestyle. We saw at least a dozen dolphins and learned a bit about how to identify them. I would highly recommend this tour, it is an excellent value, tons of fun and educational!

Our tour guide Mike was a great guide. He was great at pointing out local sites. He made sure to slow down and stopped giving everyone a chance to see the dolphins. We even got to see manatees. Very nice ride and great site seeing.

The captains, Mike and JD did such a great job. They worked very hard to make sure that we saw dolphins and we even experienced the dolphins at play! What a fun trip for all of us! The age range of our group was 67-8 and we all loved it!

The guide was very knowledgeable and shared great information throughout the tour. However, we only saw one dolphin, which was disappointing—especially for my children. The experience was advertised as guaranteeing dolphin sightings, so we had expected to see more.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Ben at the helm. Second time we’ve done this and it does not disappoint. Enjoyable ride watching dolphins play very close to the boat. Would recommend.

The Anna Maria dolphin tour was really fun. Captain Ben was very knowledgeable and we saw lots of dolphins. Just a beautiful day.

It was very nice! Captain was awesome!

Very enjoyable morning out on the water. Two hours perfect amount of time to be on the water watching for Dolphins. Captain and crew made sure we found the best spot to view. Water on-board. Went on the early side (noon). Full boat.

Wonderful time with captain Mike. He worked hard to find plenty of dolphins to view, along with some manatees! Very well organized and professional!

We had a fantastic time with a party of ten on the big boat with Captain Mike. He was able to put us on a group of dolphin that we followed for a long while and they were jumping in the wake of the boat, which was exciting. We also saw manatee, tarpon, and shark. A little site seeing and local knowledge of the are was added as well.

Captain Mike was very professional & knowledgeable! 10/10, would book again!! Can’t wait to come back 😁

The guide was awesome. The boat was comfortable, with just the right number of people. The check-in process was so easy, with excellent communication. Would highly recommend this company.

We really enjoyed our trip. The captain was very informed on the local waters and very attentive to where the dolphins were. Our visitor enjoyed it!

Our host was great, super informative, and very kind. Thank you so much for this great experience. It’s a mommy-daughter experience to remember ❤️
