Great time

Absolutely amazing trip. Everyone was so helpful.

Customer

Rob and Nico were great. The cruise was smooth. Seeing Shell Island and walking to the Gulf of Mexico coast was beautiful. Was able to see a lot of dolphins as well. It was a highlight of our trip.

Thank you for your lovely review! We’re glad they made your cruise smooth and enjoyable, and that the beauty of Shell Island and the Gulf Coast left a lasting impression. Seeing lots of dolphins is always a special bonus! We’re honored to have been part of your trip’s highlights and hope to see you again soon.

Snorkel trip

My family and I went on a dolphin cruise with them we visited shell island and was able to get off the boat and swim and explore the water and bank staff was very nice and friendly with us and our 7 kids that were on tour with us my family will definitely recommend this group it was an amazing and unforgettable experience

We are so glad you had a great time, Mary! We hope to see you again soon!

Excellent experience

Had a wonderful time! Saw dolphins,  osprey nest with young osprey, pelicans! Team leader Justine and the rest of her team did a fantastic job! Highly recommend them to anyone!!!!!!!

When we arrived we were told by the check in person that we would be called to board. While on the waiting area I asked the person (lady) there and she said that we would be called once it was time. This was our first time so obviously I had no clue. 

We saw a group of people going towards the boat, and then this guy comes to us and tells us, you all need to go and board...about five minutes later. The lady that told us we would be called, said "Oh I am sorry, I got distracted, you all need to go now". Obviously the captain seemed somewhat frustrated and started yelling at us as we were walking towards the boat "come on, hurry, you are going to miss the boat, we can not be waiting for anyone" it was very embarrassing, note that we arrived 45 minutes prior to our time. 

Getting these awkward looks from people there waiting was horrible, and no one told the captain that it was not our fault.  Although his attitude changed quickly one we started moving I was not happy that my kids got to experience that, and more so, because it was not our fault. 

Also not worth paying that extra for "dolphin watch" since they cant control that, no you can not swim with the dolphins, nor get close to them (if that's is what you will happen) you would be better off paying the regular shuttle, experience the same exact thing for less, and spend more time at the island.

 The complimentary drinks were great, and at the end my children had a blast, captain let them lead the boat which made that day memorable for them. I also think its too big of a group to be on the foot loose. we don't think we would do this again, probably opt for a more private experience. and hopefully next time we will be better guided.

We are so sorry to hear you did not enjoy your experience. We will look into the situation.

Glad your kids had a great time and you enjoyed the free drink!

not worth it

Snorkeling adventure

Captain Justine did an amazing job and made it so fun. The water was so clear and we saw at least 15 dolphins. Highly recommend doing this when in PCB.

Excellent

We were a family of 11, and we all enjoyed. The crew were friendly and very helpful. The Captain even allow my husband and brother to drive the boat ( of course he was standing close lol). This was truly an amazing experience.

Looks like they are professional captains now! We are sure glad you and your family had a great time. We hope to see you again soon.

Great Experience

We so enjoyed our time with Justine and Jacob as they sailed us to Shell Island for some snorkeling! We also crossed over the island and took in the sugary sand beach on the Gulf side and the water was breath taking! Justine sailed us into the Gulf on the return trip to view some dolphins and she found us a pod of playful dolphins! We could even hear them talking to each other. This adventure was so much fun!

We love hearing about all the fun you had on the Footloose! The snorkel tour is one of our favorites. We are so glad you had such a great time! Thanks for sailing with us.

Favorite vacay activity!

What a wonderful and exciting journey. We had a fun team of people on our trip and the capt & co-captain went above and beyond during our voyage. So much fun and will definitely do it again in near future.

Best capt/co-capt

Dolphin chasing to be sure but no harassment of them at all.  A little difficult to see the dolphins in the water due to poor visibility but we did.  Took our 8 year old and she liked the t but not for a smaller child.
All in all it was  a good experience and the  captain “coach” was really nice and knowledgeable!

Dolphins in the wild

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

Good Captain

Loved our dolphin cruise. The captain actually took the time to look and help us see the dolphins. He found them and told us exactly where to look. He took the time to let the kids drive the boat. Staff was entertaining and helpful. Very friendly and ready to accommodate. Highly 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.

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!

Capt Josh was friendly and helpful, he took us out despite bad weather and we hung in there through a storm that blew through, it was not pleasant but worth it!!  We got to spend our time after that swimming with dolphins and manatees! He found shells and sand dollars for my daughters at Shell Island and entertained the kids.   It was such an incredible experience, highly recommend!
