it was a fantastic cruise we had a lot of fun, our captain was extremely friendly , knowledgeable, and we got to see many dolphins. the sunset was beautiful, drinks and snacks were available, we learned about the dolphins sleep pattern. very interesting, I got to see my first dolphin on this same boat two years ago . it was very exciting to learn that I was going to get to take this tour again. I will probably be returning again in 2027, if still available. thank for what and all they do.

sunset dolphin cruise

Not only did we see several dolphins, variety of birds and beautiful scenery but the captain, deck hand and host/bartender made this experience very personable, enjoyable and informative. Will definitely book again and recommend!!

Great experience!!

Wonderful cruise! 10/10 reccomend. The crew was fabulous and fun! Took care of everyone on the boat!

Great service

Good captain. Great weather. Good guides.

Good trip

Fabulous crew made it so much fun, kept everyone on board engaged and felt like we made a boat ful of friends by the end of the Trip.  Captain Al was so nice and knowledgeable as was his crew

Dolphin Sunset Cruise

A terrific experience. Captain and crew were fully engaged in providing an enjoyable cruise, with lots of dolphin sightings plus much more. Information on the local wildlife and eco-system and even some history on the area and the people that make the area what it is. The Explorer may be a smaller boat but that is a definite plus, it allowed for a very pleasant experience minus the crowd and noise of the larger vessels. i would recommend choosing the Explorer to anyone.

Awesome Cruise

I highly recommend the Dolphin Sunset Cruise.  The crew was awesome, the boat very comfortable and we saw lots of dolphins!!!

Great trip

We had a great time and saw numerous dolphins as well as many birds. We were given many chances at great photo opportunities.  Crew knowledgeable,friendly and helpful.

Dolphin trip on the explorer

The staff were wonderful and many dolphins. Only issue was the radio for the boat was sketchy so we didn’t hear a lot of what they said while out in the water

The captain was very knowledgeable and found the dolphins quickly and handled the boat with masterful finesse. The staff on the boat was full of information of the dolphins and surrounding areas while explaining what we were seeing from the boat and in the water.

Worth every penny

We had a blast. Unfortunately our trip was cut a little short due to lightning but other than that it was fun!!
