Our experience with Breakaway Cruises was terrible and completely unprofessional…read more We arrived at 2:00 PM to schedule and pay for a 4:00 PM jet ski reservation for three jet skis for our group of six. We spent about 20 minutes completing paperwork and talking with Coral, who told us to be back by 3:45 PM. We left to change and returned at 3:35 PM, ready for our ride. Instead, Coral told us the 3:00 PM group had "just arrived late" and we'd now have to wait until 5:00 PM. That's completely unacceptable. Even if her story was true and they really were the 3:00 PM group, they were late. Breakaway Cruises should have canceled or delayed them--not us, who showed up on time and followed every instruction. On top of that, I overheard Coral speaking with the other group, and it didn't sound like they were late at all. It felt more like Breakaway Cruises was overbooking to make extra money and shifting people around to cover it up. I even heard Coral asking another group whether they had evening plans--more evidence of double-booking (her knowing they would make them wait past their scheduled time). We asked Coral to let us go as scheduled or cancel the other party. She claimed to agree with us but did nothing. She refused to let us speak with a manager. Instead, she offered us "inventory" jet skis that had been sitting in storage. Why should we get older, potentially less safe equipment when we did everything right? The other group should have been inconvenienced, not us (that is if they were really "late"). We ultimately left without riding because we didn't feel safe using equipment that might not have been recently serviced. Breakaway Cruises clearly doesn't care about customers' time, safety, or money. They're unethical, careless, and willing to lie or overbook to boost profits. I would absolutely not recommend them.

Customer service here was honestly terrible. The lady working the front kept jumping between…read morecustomers without actually finishing with anyone. It was super disorganized and frustrating. She gave me a form to fill out but it had someone else's full information on it, including their ID. That's a huge privacy issue. I asked when I first got there what the requirements were for riding a jet ski and she told me there were no hidden fees. After waiting around 40 minutes and filling out everything, she suddenly tells us we need a boating permit that costs another 10 to 15 dollars. That should have been mentioned from the start. Overall a really unprofessional experience. I wouldn't come back or recommend this place to anyone.

We originally reserved seats on one of the other trips, but cancelled to go on this tour…read moreinstead--this one was recommended by one of the Sea Turtles Inc. guys. Good choice! We saw so many dolphins, and we're so close to them--one pod swam right up to the bow as soon as we left the docks. The captain knew all the birds and gave us a lot of info about the ecosystem and how humans interact with the coastal plains and marine life. We also went by the breakers to see turtles--apparently that's where this captain and others find and rescue any injured or trapped turtles. Why did we cancel the other reservation for this one? This tour respects the animals--no caged or cooler kept animals passed around like show and tell. This tour is eco friendly. As avid scuba divers, it matters to us that businesses don't abuse animals or natural resources for tourist profit. This is a clean operation that supports and defends the wildlife. Totally worth it--and we saw several pods of dolphins--win, win, win!

You can't wait in the A/C gift shop anymore :/ -R

Welcome to Texas, y'all! This Travel Information Center is…read moreso great! It's conveniently located right off the major highway through town, just as soon as you cross over to Texas from Mexico in Harlingen. The best thing about this center is that everything is free! There's no expectation for you to spend any money at all. Just come in, soak up that free air conditioning, use their luxuriously cool restrooms, watch a brief movie about Texas, or just pick up free literature about things to do across the Lone Star State! They have the info organized by region of Texas. Going to a certain area? Peruse the reading material and take as much as you can carry! They'll even give you a bag to stuff full of literature. My favorite is that this is always a great place to get some "Don't Mess with Texas" bumper stickers for free! The architecture of this building is super cool- it's got a wonderful garden out front that attracts butterflies, and it looks like a Spanish hacienda meets a traffic rest stop, or a modern art museum. It's hard to tell what's going on here, but it's a great place to stop and take a break.
