We had an absolutely incredible experience with C Ponies, and I can't recommend them enough--especially if you're looking for something unique, meaningful, and truly unforgettable. What makes this experience so special goes far beyond just "riding horses on the beach." These are rescue horses--many of them coming from difficult or neglectful situations--and C Ponies has created something really beautiful by giving them a second chance at life. You can feel how deeply loved and well cared for these horses are. They are healthy, happy, and genuinely seem to enjoy their work. One of the most fascinating parts was learning that the water is actually healing for them. Being in the ocean supports their joints and overall wellness, so this experience isn't just fun for us--it's beneficial for them, too. That alignment made the entire experience feel even more special and ethical. Our guide, Raina, was fantastic. She had the perfect mix of humor (yes, some delightfully corny jokes), warmth, and knowledge. More importantly, you could tell she truly loves these horses and what she does. She made everyone feel comfortable, safe, and engaged the entire time. Walking the horses into the water--and even getting to experience them swimming--was surreal. Each horse had its own personality, which made it even more fun. You could tell they were relaxed, confident, and happy to be there. It didn't feel forced or transactional--it felt like a partnership between humans and animals. Living in Sarasota, it also meant a lot to support a business that is doing such meaningful work in our own SW Florida community. C Ponies is not only creating unforgettable experiences, but they are actively rescuing, rehabilitating, and giving these horses a life filled with purpose and care. If you're on the fence--book it. It's one of those rare experiences that stays with you long after it's over.

While my wife and I were staying at a nearby hotel, the employee spoke to my wife in an aggressive, disrespectful, and completely unprofessional manner. Regardless of the situation, there was no reason for her to be treated that way. Customers and visitors should be spoken to with basic courtesy and respect. This interaction left us with a very negative impression of AMI Dolphin Tours, and I hope management addresses the employee's behavior so others do not have a similar experience.

They have a large outdoor area with a playground for kids and lots of tables. There is a small bar inside, and they are renovating more interior space for additional seating for the hot summer months. The wines are overall pretty tasty. They only grow muscadine grapes on the property and import other grapes from California and elsewhere. They have a selection of drier wines all the way to the sweet fruit wines. They also offer wine sorbets. My husband and I each got a wine flight of 4 wines for $18. I forgot how big the pours were but they were a decent size. They also offer wine tasting experience of 6 wines, smaller pours, that lasts 45 minutes. They have a small section of food. We got the pimento cheese and crackers, the cheese was delicious. They also had popsicles and ice cream, which my kids enjoyed. We got three bottles of wine to take home with us! We love supporting our Florida wineries! Also, our bartender Shelley was fantastic!

It was a very educational tour and did an excellent job of explaining the history of many buildings, many local residents ranging from the founders of Bradenton thru some present day politicians. I have participated in a few ghost tours in various areas, but this was the first one to include "ghost meters" for the participants. That was a big hit with our visitors. It was definitely worth the price of the tickets. I would have given it a five star review if our guide had worn a mask. We were outside and a reasonable distance apart; however, in order to hear required we be closer than six feet. Our group was masked and it seemed as if our tour guide should have been or at least prepared to be and offering us the option. Being concerned about maintaining distance and staying clear of a cough/sneeze was distracting and took away from the overall tour experience.
