    This part of our family spring break was fantastic. We enjoyed getting to get on a glass bottom boat and view the shoreline from the ocean. There were many dolphins and even a hammerhead shark! The best part was we were "high-class" at half the cost! Thanks trip-shock for making our vacation memorable.

  • the cruise time changed and we were not notified so we show up 2 hrs early. we had to walk around the harbor with three kids abd we all got sunburnt. when we were about to board we got our tickets and noticed that there were only reservations for four. when we told the cruise office they said the boat was full and i had to argue to get an extra ticket. it was an aweful stressful experience and next time i will call the cruise directly instead of using tripshock because they didnt get anything right!!!

    Management Response
    Hi Casey,

    Sorry to hear about your experience. Due to "Spring Forward", the time change occurred right during your trip and we were not informed until the day before that the cruise times were changing. We had over 500 guests cruise with us that day and we were busier than normal. A lot of our team members at the harbor are new so there is bound to be some mistakes. Your reservation was received from TripShock correctly so there is no reason to discount their service. We hope you would consider cruising with us again and we welcome your feedback. It is best to always confirm your trips at least 24 hours in advance so you have the right time upon arrival.

  • Awesome Dolphin Cruise

    I was about to cancel this due to questionable weather, but I'm glad I didn't, weather turn out pretty good and the cruise was really worth every penny my family had a great time and good Dolphin Video and pictures. Advice video record if you see the Dolphins unless your camera is really good, I wasted alot of camera shots
