Customer

The people running it were great.  Have been on other dolphin/ whale watch with snorkeling and I felt because of the quality of the water,clearness etc it wasn’t as fun for the kids.  Again the personnel were great. Friendly and professional.

We had the perfect time as a family with 3 young kids. It was the perfect amount of chill and adventure. The boat ride was fun in itself being on a big catamaran and getting up close to see dolphins. And then getting out to explore shell island, swim around, look at beautiful shells and hermit crabs, snorkel, make memories! Kids and adults alike loved it. Highlight of our vacation hands down.

Perfect family experience

We had an awesome time!  We enjoyed feeding the birds, the tour,  seeing dolphins and  dancing.  Nice extra was the full bar, snacks and the ability to bring food truck food onboard.  Music was fun and the all around experience was fun from age 10 to 50 plus!  The only negative is that it would have been nice to see the dolphins more out in the open water area.  We would go again!

Definitely a good time! Going to add it to my list to do next summer also, seen dolphins, a hammerhead shark and found some amazing sand dollar on our trip

Amazing time!

We had a great time - stopped at Shell Island for awhile and spent time at beach and collecting shells, The best part of the trip was all the dolphins we saw - group of about 10 - captain was awesome - he’d follow them with the boat and turn the boat so they were very close to us. Not too expensive either. Would definitely recommend!

Shell island and dolphins tour

We had the best time on our trip to Shell Island on the Grand Mere!  The captain and crew were super friendly and helpful and the drinks were amazing.  Shell Island was beautiful and we saw plenty of dolphins and a few sea turtles on the way there and back.  My only complaint is that the trip wasn’t long enough:).  We’ll definitely book again next time we’re in Florida!

Kerry from the first minute we met exceeded our expectations. He was kind, knowledgeable and an overall great host/captain. I would definitely book with him again if I’m in the area.   Great value for the cost.

Awesome ride

Thanks Captain Kerry for such a fun time. Loved seeing the dolphins and checking out shell island. So beautiful!! Plus he lots of interesting info on the surroundings

We had an amazing time on the jet ski tour. We even got to see dolphins! We checked the jet skis right on the beach and they were $100 for 30 minutes. This was way worth the extra $28 dollars for about 2 hours! I will definitely be doing this next year as well!!!

Jet ski tour AMAZING!!!!

This experience was one of the highlights of our vacation. Dolphins,  Shell island, and beautiful blue waters made this tour a blast. Going 45 mph on a jet ski while seeing it all just added that much more to this experience. I’m surprised it only costed as much as it did, well worth your time and money.

Worth it!!!

I would book again in a heartbeat  tour guide was awesome   a must do in pcb

Awesome !!

We were in town for my nephew’s 3rd birthday & decided VERY last minute to book a dolphin tour excursion. Found these guys through a simple Google search & couldn’t be happier with the service from start to end. Not only were they the cheapest option, but we also got a private boat & very friendly/knowledgeable captain. Saw several dolphins very upclose, some even jumping along nearby boats! This last minute idea was a huge highlight of the trip & was made even better by the friendliness & efficiency of the staff. The only caution I would advise is for those with walking issues. 3 of us had some sort of walking ailment (we had no issues walking, but accompanied pain.) The dock is behind a resort & is a little bit of a trek. I’d say around 5 mins. Not bad & so serene, but still should be mentioned for those concerned. Other than that, it was AMAZING.  Thanks for the memories!

Lifelong Memories Made

We had such a great time with Captain Glen. It was our kids' first time on a boat, and he did a wonderful job explaining the boat and things out on the water. He found a pod of dolphins and expertly kept the boat rotated to minimize wave wobble. We had a relaxing walk along Shell Island. We had the whole beach to ourselves. We will absolutely return for a trip with Captain Glen again!

Amazing experience!

This was my first time booking a trip through tripshock so we weren’t sure what to expect. We had a great time on a private dolphin tour where we were lucky enough to see pods of dolphins, a couple of sea turtles and Shell Island, which was fantastic!! Our tour guide, Glen, was just what our group needed and was able to read the room quite well! He was engaging and informative while also allowing us to “explore” on our own pace.

Great trip!

Capt Kyle was great. Would have liked more time by the dolphins versus by the beach/rocks  snorkeling

Good Captain

This was a really cool experience. My boyfriend and I had the best time ever. Denise was the best and always made sure we were gonna see dolphins. I would definitely recommend.

Marcus was extremely friendly and knowledgeable of the area. He also went above and beyond what we expected on the trip. In addition to seeing dolphins he took us around a bunch of local spots that we never would have know about or see otherwise. We were extremely with the trip and when we come back we will definitely be booking with him again!

If you are worried about seeing dolphins, it took about 45 minutes to find them but we did see dolphins and they came right up to the boat. After the first encounter we also found another pod shortly after.

Excellent experience

We had a great time on the dolphin cruise. Marcus was well informed about the history of the area and made the trip enjoyable. Good family fun.

So Much Fun

Our captain Marcus provided excellent service. My kids enjoyed not only the ride and dolphin watching but also the stories about the pelican island and pirate cove. Thank you! We will definitely use your services again!

Great experience!
