Customer Reviews
Our guide Brantley was excellent.
2025-05-02
The wind picked up a lot while we were out and unfortunately did not see any dolphins. We did see a bald eagle on one of the plow net pylons, brown pelicans and osprey diving for dinner. Our guide Brantley was excellent.
Most amazing evening
2024-11-21
This was one of the most amazing things I have ever done. It was just my self and a friend who did the tour, and Matt our guide was amazing. He is so enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the area, the dolphins and the eco system in general. He clearly has a huge wealth of knowledge on the dolphins which made the experience incredible. Matt not only was super friendly and a brilliant host but also allowed us to stay out till sunset so that we could get the best experience. I would highly recommend going with Matt, as I think this will be one of the best things you may ever do!
Amazing experience for ALL ages and experience levels!

This tour is fun for ALL ages and kayaking experience levels. Solo, friends, family, whatever!
I originally booked for the 5pm tour, but the day prior got asked if I wanted to move to the 9:30 am tour due to potential windy conditions in the evening. I was able to do so because of my schedule, but the flexibility and communication was outstanding!
Matt (owner) was extremely personable and welcoming. We did a quick pre-tour "class" on kayaking for those that may have never kayaked before. Matt was very good at staying on top of everyone location, but also keeping out for dolphin pods. We saw many pelican and other wildlife while kayaking out to where the dolphin pods tend to swim. We learned the dolphins process and how they live in the bay and ocean. Once we saw one pod, we started to see the dolphins in many numbers over the next 2 hours. It was an amazing experience to see the dolphins up close in their natural habitat.
We were on a roll with dolphin spotting, that we ended up running 30-45 minutes over the 2 hours and had "bonus" dolphin time and kayak time.
HIGHLY recommend this to anyone that loves dolphins or kayaking and I plan on doing it again for hopefully the sunset tour.
