Your professional guide will give you insight into the surrounding areas while you continue your experience under bridges and through the waterways. After passing the huge fishing and shrimping boats we continue into the Brownsville shipping channel, home to many of our local wild dolphins.

Before returning, you will be given free time in an open area to ride the Jet Skis.

This 90 minute historical tour was the highlight of our visit to SPI. Trevor, our knowledgeable and easygoing tour guide rolled out the red carpet and treated us like royalty. The jet skis are easy to operate but he still made sure we were comfortable with the operating features before we started our journey. My amazing bride obviously wanted to pilot her own machine and she did great and loved every moment of the experience. The trip included fascinating places of interest like Space X, historical bridges and known dolphin feeding grounds. YES, we saw dolphins up close and tons of pelicans too. Can’t say enough. The check in process was very low stress as the sweet hostess gathered our information and said just wait in the restaurant and will come out and get you when your tour is about to start. Yes the same family owns the restaurant and the activities business and they are down to earth and easy to work with. Later that evening we Came back for dinner and enjoyed the best coconut shrimp ever including live music and an amazing bagpipes performance that apparently happens every day! What’s not to like?

Super fun. Tour guide super nice kid. Easy going let us have extra fun on the jet skis. Saw a dolphin. Saw space x. Had fun wave running in the bay. Ignore the review where the “karen” gripes about bridge and no dolphins. Total fun. Rent your own. Don’t share jet ski
