It was a great family event. I will come back to see him again. Great show

Great

Wanted something different to do with the kids while on vacation and this was PERFECT. He made us all laugh and we even got pulled up on stage to be part of a magic trick. Soooo cool!  Our kids (17,15,11) loved it. 

There were a few of the voices he did that the kids didn’t recognize but they had a blast. Thanks for the laughs!

So much fun!

His music impersonation were amazing.I couldn't believe he could replicate so many different voices.His costumes and facial expressions along with character mannerisms was remarkable. 
  The magic part was outstanding also and I am still wondering how he pulled off so of his tricks.
 I strongly recommend. You'll laugh hard and smile the entire show.
A truly remarkable entertainer.

The staff was nice and very helpful.  Location was great and there are endless areas available to go explore on the pontoon boat.  You would need to rent the boat for days to go see everything.  The boat ran great and was clean.  However, the interior was worn and the radio didn’t work.  I was provided a whistle to use for emergencies because the horn didn’t work either.  Overall it was a good experience.  It could have been a little better with some functional accessories.

Nice Experience

We had a great day. Saw dolphins.  Staff was friendly.  Boat was a little worn.

The staff was excellent and the boat was really nice! We will definitely rent from OB Watersports again.

Our experience on the dolphin cruise was absolutely incredible!! We enjoyed every minute of our time on the boat and were totally immersed in the excitement of seeing the dorsal fins peek above the surface, knowing that within seconds we'd see the sleek bodies of the svelte, gorgeous sea mammals gliding through the water!  The crew was courteous, professional, personable and very knowledgeable!!  I learned quite a bit about the beautiful dolphins and the breathtaking surrounding areas. The children, as well as every adult on board, thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!!  The music was perfect, too!  Thank you to everyone who made our time exhilarating and unforgettable!!

Exhilarating and Unforgettable

The Southern Rose Dolphin experience for myself and my friends was much better than expected. The ride was very comfortable and smooth, and the crew was amazing and very attentive. The captain made sure we saw plenty of dolphins and saw how they play with the boat on the way back. It was well worth the time and money. A MUST!

We went on a Dolphin cruise on the Southern Rose. Hands down the best Captain in the Gulf. He was funny, witty, and full of knowledge not only about dolphins but the area in general. He allowed my son to come in and view the “drivers chair.” The other employees on the boat were also very kind and informative. Definitely will book another trip when we return!

The employees within the area of play was kind and polite to all of us. The girl at front desk not so much. It’s not that she was ugly to anyone just didn’t seem as caring or welcoming as the other employees.
But my grand babies had a blast and we will be back. Thank you for a great place for the kids and an area for grandparents to rest and relax.

Grand babies

We have tons of jump houses and trampoline places back home but this is hands down the best place we have ever been. Great staff, excellent activities and obstacle courses, clean space— it’s perfect. Your kids and you will love it

This place is awesome

The person who set us up for trampoline park assumed the adults who were not jumping still had to pay. 
Luckily the staff was very understanding and refunded our money with no problems.
