We thought this was a great trip! We have done another dolphin tour before on speed boat in…read moreFlorida, two completely different ways to see the dolphins in our opinion, but both super fun. It was easy to book with this company, check in was simple and in a cute little town. Parking is close by. We went on the sunset tour and it was beautiful. We saw about 20 dolphins and the guide didn't really have to take the boat out far. He was was great at educating everyone on dolphins and was funny. There were lots of little boys on this trip and they asked about 100 questions that really didn't fully pertain to the trip itself but the guide was super patient with the kids and answered most questions. The sunset that night wasn't great since it was cloudy but it was still fairly pretty. The guide also took us back into an area where high end boats were docked and spoke a lot about that area which was really interesting. Overall money well spent! I didn't take pictures of the dolphins- too hard to do, but captured a few that I have posted below. Even if you don't see 20 dolphins like we did, the views are worth the trip! Also, if the guide suggests trying Frosties for some ice cream afterwards- DO IT!! Absolutely delicious!!

If you think your kids have even the slightest interest in this Pirate Adventure - DO IT! My…read morehusband and I took our 6 year old niece and nephew, and they had a BLAST! If you have a lot of people going along, it can get pricey, but for us, it was worth every penny and the hour long drive down from the northern end of the island. The kids start off with a pirate tattoo - our little mateys decided on "PIRATES!" knuckle tattoos and a seashell - and getting dressed up in pirate garb. There are accessories too for purchase, but we told our niece and nephew that we could do ice cream after if they forego the swords. Thank God, they chose wisely. At that point, adult chaperones, just sit back, relax, and take some picture, because the crew takes care of everything. They sneak the kids through town onto the boat and take them through an adventure complete with finding a treasure map, firing water cannons at Stinky Pete the pirate, and sharing the booty. In reality, you're driving around in circles, and the ship's captain will have a few fun asides for the adults, but the kids really buy into it, and the crew is top notch. They really get into it, which I believe is saying something for these guys putting on multiple shows a day, many times a week.

What a fantastic voyage and show! We took our (just) 2 year old and 6 year old on the boat. Our…read moreolder one was definitely more into the action than the little one. The mate, Jinx, and "Captain Blarney" did a great job! The music was spot on and they kept the kids entertained the entire time. I loved it too! The pirate costume to borrow and tattoo was a nice way to start the adventure! The cost is pricey, but we all had a nice time! They have a tip jar out (well deserved) and it was nice they didn't even ask for a tip or stand there at the end of the voyage with the jar. If you have a little one 3-9 they'd probably love it too.
