The best experience I’ve ever had. Everyone was friendly & easy instructions on how to get there.

Intro beach helicopter tour

Had a really good time with my son and lady. Pilot was very friendly and professional. Only reason I didn’t give it a 5 star was the time difference. I did the approx. 12 mins and I understand it’s not guaranteed 12 mins but from the time of lift off to landing it was around 8 and a half mins. Other than that , Really fun experience!!

It was my first time going in a helicopter it was SO much fun.

Helicopter tours

Took my son up on his first helicopter ride and it was great. Flew along the coast, over LuLu’s place, etc. As the title of this review reads: it was a great experience. Will definitely do it again.

Great Experience!

We had a great time, captain Chris put us on some good fish in some ruff water.

Booker

We had 1 mistake on the reservation and 1 person cancel and they had everything taken care of within 10min. Great customer service and will always use trip shock.

Fantastic customer service

Even though it was a short helicopter ride, we got the chance to look for sharks in the ocean.  Well worth it!!

Fun activity!

It was a great experience.  It was fun and the guys made it very enjoyable.  I was a little annoyed with the fact that I was reminded several times that there was a mandatory 15% tip up front prior to the excursion.  I will always tip and generously, but it is not cool to require/mandate a tip prior to the experience:-(.

My grandson and granddaughter thought it was so awesome!!! They said they would do it again 100 times if they could! Thank you for giving them such an amazing experience!

We had SO much fun! We did the sunset dolphin tour, and it was the perfect timing for it to not be too hot. The crew was so nice and made time to talk to everyone and offer group pictures.

Farah

We were vacationing the week of Tropical Storm Bertha. So we had two scheduling delays. I had booked a trip Tuesday, which was rescheduled for Wednesday, and then again on Thursday. We were able to go on Thursday. Re-booking was easy and we really appreciated the dolphin cruise crew. I am sure that was a busy week for them with all the scheduling issues, but they were gracious and I appreciate how they worked so hard so that it could be and easy experience for the customer. Thank you.

The staff at Bear Point Marina Jet Ski Rental are top notch. Very friendly, knowledgeable, and great to work with. Jet ski's were very modern & fast. Family had an amazing time and will definitely rent from them again.

Awesome ski's

Great place to rent jet ski’s from.  The 2 gentlemen running the dock were knowledgeable, friendly and fun to rent from.  The No Wake zone was minimal, a short 2-3 min trip to open water.  The jet ski’s were well maintained and very fast.  Definitely better experience than the competition we rented from 2 days prior.
