We took the dolphin tour on Tuesday September 6 at 1 o'clock. Everything started out fine and yes we did see a few dolphins. When we were docking the boat, The boat hit the dock really hard and everyone fell to the floor of the boat. I cut my arm and hurt my back. I have had back problems for years. What bothers us the most is that nobody from the crew asked if anybody was hurt at all. They just said thank you for coming and said goodbye. We do not think this was held handled very well.

An enjoyable and informative activity for all age groups. The boat pilot did everything possible to ensure dolphins were seen.

It was a nice boat ride to see a couple dolphins. We originally had a 10:30 reservation and the day before we were told that the 10:30 reservation had to be canceled and to call to reschedule. We changed to a 1pm ride and learned that the original 10:30 ride did run. Possibly they overbooked? The staff were very friendly. It was a good ride for the price but don’t expect anything fantastic.
