Despite the weather of the night we had an awesome experience! We booked the 7pm for the sunset and island stop. Unfortunately due to the a storm coming in our trip had to be cut short, not the crew’s fault in anyway. Captain Sierra and First mate Katelyn were both wonderful and they did a great job keeping us safe in the storm and getting us to see some beautiful Dolphins! I’m hoping we can book again so we can stop at the island and get the full experience!

Was a great experience being on the boat with Captain Zach and Mikayla. They are super friendly and caring. We saw a lot of groups of dolphins swimming together. We had the 7 PM Tour the sunset was outstanding. Definitely recommend!🐬🌅

I can't recommend this enough! Sierra and Mikalya (sorry if I spelled it wrong!) were terrific. We had a couple of dolphins playing in another boats wake for a few minutes, saw a spectacular sunset and made some great memories. Sierra did a great job captaining the boat. Thank you!

I was a little unsure at first since it started as a drive by tour where we sailed past a bunch of famous people's houses which was pretty interesting but the dolphins were not until most of the way through. We had a really cool stop on this tiny island absolutely covered in sea shells that looked absolutely beautiful in the sunset. After that we sailed out of the little bay we were in and saw a crazy amount of dolphins, probably on at least 30 occasions. However, I am ridiculously unlucky and could only get a couple pictures and videos because they disappeared exactly as I pulled up my camera like some kind of Phineas and Ferb episode. After that, we got to watch a beautiful sunset over the open ocean and that was an absolutely incredible experience that I will remember for the rest of my life.

Dolphin Encounter was a really nice way to see dolphins and enjoy the time on the water. We do recommend a light jacket or overshirt - it gets chilly when the boat is moving in the water. From what I read about the other dolphin boat companies - this is one if the few that has a restroom in board. (We didn't need it but it was nice to have one available) The two staff onboard were great with the kids and everyone. They showed us different celebrity homes. (They had a great sense of humor bantering between the two of them and seemed to really enjoy their job) The island is really small but the stop was really nice in the middle of the 1 1/2 hour trip. We spent extra time watching dolphins (alot of children onboard) so the island stop was around 15 minutes. We totally enjoyed the time and would do it again.
