dolphin

It was very exciting! The entire family enjoyed!

Vacation

This was but far the best dolphin excursion ever! We’ve been on several others, but never as far out into ocean and never saw SOO MANY dolphins! There was lily a school odd silicone playing around the boat! It was a fun adventure for the while family!!

BEST Dolphin Excursion EVER!!

We saw a ton of dolphins, held a jelly fish and got a photo in the captains chair! The captain and crew are awesome. TOTALLY with the $30’

Do it!!!

We had a large group/family members ages 4-64. We had a great experience! Thank you to the captain and first mate!

Good time had by all

Just go and see the sights for yourself. And the boat ride was amazing. & the captain & his wife were awesome! I will go again when we visit again.

Worth it!

While I did appreciate the warning that we would get wet and the winds were high, I did not expect to be on a speedboat racing against the waves.  I thought it would be more of a leisurely, cruising adventure like the Cape May Whale Watcher.  I'm sure the captain does this daily and is used to it, but we are not.  Every next breath we took we were getting walloped and soaked by another wave.  I don't think that was necessary at all; we could have gone slower and enjoyed the ride, and possibly seen a dolphin like is advertised.  If the ride wasn't enjoyable the first time, how is getting a coupon for a free second ride appropriate? I'm sure some families loved this and that's fine if that's what they like.

Just a Speedboat Thrill Ride

We had a great time and seen plenty of Dolphins

Dolphin cruise

Great day on the ocean, we saw lots of Dolphins.

Mrs.

First time using tripshock and was pleased with how easy it was to use and that I was able to get my purchases taken care of in advance. Our Sea Dolphin Cruise was WONDERFUL!! We had perfectly beautiful weather and were blessed to see dolphins at least three times. The Capt and Katie were very gracious. I would definitely recommend the Sea Thunder cruise.  Added blessing was that the Sea Thunder boat had a covered section that kept us cool!

<p>The sounds of the dolphins talking was something unforgettable. We enjoyed the large pods, and watching and learning about these amazing creatures.</p>
<p>We got to be at two places, North Carolina and South Carolina, at the same time, which was pretty awesome. We went up the river and saw beautiful homes and wetlands.</p>
<p>There was a cool river town, and even a casino boat. The little town was adorable, and had so much old charm.</p>
<h2>Would you recommend this activity to another group like yours? Why or why not?</h2>
<p>This is definitely a trip that would work for couples, families, or for those flying solo. Social distancing isn’t really a reality on this cruise, although the staff does the best they can.</p>
<p>If you’re super paranoid of getting wet or getting germs, then this isn’t for you. But, if you are cautious, want to live a little, and want to see some amazing things, then give them your money!</p>
