Brody was fun and informative! We booked the 1pm on Halloween and saw plenty of dolphins! We also held a starfish and learned so much about them! When we didn’t see any dolphins, it was relaxing and we enjoyed being on a boat!

The boat captain and guide were awesome! We so so many dolphins and the music was an added bonus. I've been on dolphin tours before and they pale in comparison. We were beyond pleased. Be sure to tip them...they deserve it!
This was so cool , we saw so many dolphins and it was an evening tour. Orginally we set to go in the morning , unfortunately to company failed to notify me As they claimed they didn’t have the right number
Great day to see the dolphins. We first enjoyed the dragged net catch of starfish and small sting rays. Then enjoyed dolphins near the boat and running in the front of the boat! With a boat next to us we were able to capture great photos of dolphins leaping in front of their boat. The gentlemen on the boat were wonderful in answering customer questions. Highly recommend.
Very fun and exciting,was exploring and the staff was very nice. Seen alot did know was available in South padre.
excellent. saw 30 to 40 dolphins. some right next to boat and crisscrossing under bow. would definitely do this again.
Bring drinking water & fresh clothing (light) & a hat or cap. Have ur phones or cameras fully charged for pictures!
We had an amazing time on our dolphin boat trip! 🐬 The whole experience was great from start to finish. The crew was friendly, the boat ride was relaxing, and seeing the dolphins up close was definitely the highlight. Highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a fun experience on the water! 🌊
Amazing experience. Captain was able to get the locate the dolphins. Great for families and must do to do
It’s first come first served, so to get decent seats be there early and get in line when it’s announced. Our family of five was split because they have it so crowded. We had to sit in the inside of the boat and once everyone moved around we got to get a better view outside to actually see anything. Overall it was okay. We did see some dolphins.
Really great! We saw plenty of dolphins and the eco show of being able to see, hold/touch, and learn about all the wildlife was so interesting! Would definitely do again ❤️ captain and helping hands on board were so nice and so fun to be around!
We had a lot of fun. Kids enjoyed being able to see and hold a star fish and sting ray during eco session. Had great experience.
Fabulous fabulous fabulous! The tour was amazing. We all enjoyed it very much. Crew was attentive - highly recommend amd great value for your money
Amazing experience. The guys on board are friendly and knowledgeable about the sea creatures. We were able to see a lot of dolphins. The staff made sure we had plenty of pictures. When I come back for another vacation, I’ll be sure to book again. The guys work off of tips, so leave a little tip for them.
It’s was a great experience, the team was friendly and clear in safety directions. We got to see many pods of dolphins and lived the tour
This excursion was great! We saw lots of dolphins in the beautiful water! The crew even offered to take our picture, which I’m grateful for! :)
Great price and great tour. Captain was very friendly and respectful of the wildlife. Highly recommend it
Fabulous experience!! We saw lots of dolphins. There was an eco-show where they taught about different animals and let us touch them. The guide took a family picture for us. The only thing that could be better is if there was a Venmo code to tip them. I never carry cash, so I could leave a tip.
Amazing tour, they explained building on the way to see dolphins and how deep the water was at times. I will most definitely be recommending this to friends and family. The admission fee was $25 per person and most definitely worth every penny.
Booked the 1 pm eco tour/dolphin cruise and had a wonderful time. We saw at least a dozen dolphins. Kids thought it was amazing!
So great watching the dolphins! We had our family of 9 attend and we all enjoyed it! Guides were very nice!
Experience was awesome , all crew members were very attentive to any questions, good info when we were on tour. Will try it again on next visit.
The tour was great, we definitely got our money’s worth. The captain was knowledgeable and found a pod of dolphins for us to view. The deckhands knew about all the sealife they pulled into the boat for us to view, and were gentle with the different creatures. I would definitely go again!
The trip was amazing! We took our grandson. We really enjoyed it! Saw lots of dolphins. I took a little fall and the crew and captain were great! I highly recommend this experience. You won't be disappointed. Oh and did I mention its very educational! Amazing time.
Fun for the whole family. Our kids really enjoyed interacting with the sea creatures. Dolphins were really active.
The boat was not too crowded, we had a helpful crew, and the eco portion offered a variety of sea life to touch in addition to seeing the dolphins.
We had the best time! The guides were great and we got a good dolphin show!
Amazing! The guides were wonderful. The captain was terrific. Saw lots of dolphins and even a sea turtle. Definitely exceeded our expectations. We were thrilled!
Our tour was pretty amazing!!! We’re we sat, the dolphins swam right next to us! Their little pod had two babies. It was pretty incredible.
Saw about 12 dolphins! Well worth $19! The nets caught 4-5 different types of aquatic life! I would highly recommend this dolphin cruise!
It was wonderful! The perfect family experience to wrap up our vacation. The crew was friendly. and the dolphins were showing off. Highly recomend!
Great experience! They made sure we saw the dolphins, workers were very nice and like the information they were giving us
It was so much fun and informative. I enjoyed the caption stopping and engaging with the dolphins...
Nice family outing. Kids and adults enjoyed see the seaside from the ocean. Very family friendly. Nice morning on the water.
Dolphin trip was worth every penny spent. Captain was very knowledgable and crew was fantastic. Saw more dolphins in a 1 1/2 hour excursion than over my entire life.
Get there early for preferential seating. Crew was energetic, informative and enthusiastic. 10/10 experience
Friendly and experienced staff. We really enjoyed the dolphin watching .
It was fun, the captain and crew were very informative and cooperative. My kid enjoyed a lot an Eco session was very detailed and they let my son to touch fishes and stars fish. Dolphin views are awesome they responded us that’s was fun.
Every year we take this same tour, now that should say something! This tour, along with the company who runs it, is top notch F-U-N & fabulous! The crew is knowledgeable about the marine life, friendly and caring. They make sure every member of the tour gets to see (and maybe touch) the findings dredged up from the depths! It's a marine learning class with hands on involvement! Perfect for ALL AGES! Do NOT wait, BUY your tickets early, this tour is VERY POPULAR and sells out quick! We've learned this from experience!
The crew mates were very knowledgeable about the sea life in the area. They were all very friendly and professional.
First time for everyone. Wonderful service. Wonderful ride. Captain and Randy entertainment was super. Worth for the money
A great place to bring the family I really recomend it .The crew were AWESOME !! We had a great time ..
Perfect.. Loved it!!! Very informative!!!
The tour was fun and informative. The kids really enjoyed being able to learn and hold some of the sea life that was picked up along the way.
Staff was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. We got to hold blow fish, squid, starfish and rainbow stingray. Great trip would definitely do again!
It was a great experience all very impressed by crew members they were very knowledgeable excellent experience thanks
It was a dolphin and eco tour. The tour just made a few circles in the Bay and only a few dolphins were seen at a distance. They did a decent job catching and doing a show and tell with some interesting fish from the bay. For the price I was expecting a bit more. Overall it was disappointing. My kids are young and enjoyed.
Everyone on the crew was knowledgeable about the Marine life. Kids loved holding the fish we caught in the net. Dolphins were amazing swimming next to our boat.
Awesome experience kids got to hold a bunch of different see creatures and we got to see bunch of pods of dolphins will definitely use them again when we visit next
The boat was so overcrowded it kept tilting not only that, but we only seen like 10 dolphins The staff on the boat was really sweet, but it was definitely not worth the money at all
