Dolphin Watching

Published on Jan, 2025

We were just passing by Port Isabel and looking for helicopter or boat rentals when we stumbled upon this eco dolphin-watching tour at just the right time. Booking tickets over the counter was very easy. Although the weather was a bit gloomy, we decided to go anyway. Thanks to Captain Michael and Hanley (I hope I spelled that correctly) for making our trip enjoyable. There were a lot of kids on board, and they had a blast spotting dolphins and touching the catch.

BEST time ever

Published on Jan, 2025

It was the BEST. Staff was very nice and knowledgeable. Lots of fun for all ages. Get your camera ready. Great time!

Fun times.

Had a great tour. Saw Dolphins all around and history. Both the captain and guide were fun and helpful.

Enjoyed the Dolphins

Published on Jan, 2025

We got to see the dolphins all along in our tour. Harley and Mike did an excellent job. They were very personable. It was windy and cold but the sites and the narrative made it worthwhile!

Girls couldn't decide what the best part of the trip was!

Published on Jan, 2025

Fantastic. We had our kids, 11 and 12 yr old girls with us, and they couldn't stop talking about it afterwards. When I asked them which was better, seeing the dolphins up close or seeing and holding what was in the dragnet they couldn't decide. They were thrilled by both, as was I. Great experience for the money!!! So glad we chose to do this.
