About Dolphin Tales


What services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition?
We are the only boat with padded seats and backs. We do not overbook. We are spacious. We have a bathroom on board. Our captain is highly experienced in dolphin searching. His extensive knowledge of the dolphin is courtesy of the dolphin research lab in Marathon, FL. We cruise in the calm bays.

What is the experience customers can expect?
Viewing wild dolphin in their daily rituals and activities. Our customers leave with a lot more knowledge about dolphin than they arrived with. We offer a personal touch. We are owner operators. We like to connect with our customers. We help families build memories.

What was the inspiration to start or run this business?
Capt. Bart has been a captain for 7 years. He worked for a local dolphin cruise business, and we decided to branch out on our own, and offer a less rigid, and more fun dolphin cruise to tourists.

What do you love most about your job?
Every single day is a new adventure. The dolphin are wild, so no two days of observing them are ever the same. Each day at work is a new day. We meet new and interesting people (our customers) and we get to ride around and search for the adorable dolphin. We are blessed.

I have not been able to use this Groupon because they never could give me a reservation because they said they no longer take Groupon. So out of Mercy she took my Groupon # and booked it for Wednesday. I will not purchase another Groupon because I can’t even use it for the date she gave me. This is ridiculous to pay $71.00 & Dolphin Tales never had dates available for my family.

Margaret, I am so sorry to hear that you’ve had difficulty using your Groupon. Didn’t we make a reservation for you? I have you as a “no show” on my schedule. If that’s not the case, please call me and we can work on a resolution to this problem together. We have been open and operating at least one cruise daily, 6 days a week, since May 20, unless we had severe weather. We are typically closed on Sundays.

My kids and i thoroughly enjoyed this experience!! We weren’t even very disappointed that we couldn’t see the dolphins because the other parts of this adventure made up for it! We will definitely do it again!

The guide was informative about dolphins. We didn't see many but enjoyed the ride and got to see some of the houses on Ono Island from the boat which was enjoyable.
