Fantasic crew Captian Murphy, Greg and Garrett made the cruise fun! A must for a South Padre Island visit! There were a lot of dolphins to watch as they fed. They shared great information during the ride out and back. We were able to see squid, jellyfish, sea star and other small sea life! If you tend to be sensitive to movement, make sure to take your motion sickness medication of choice. Have your phone video ready. I think a go pro camera would work great also. Coolers are welcome and a nice cold drink tastes great mid cruise. Don't bring anything that can spill because it probably will. Stay as hands free as you can. Don't forget your sunscreen but there is space out of the sun onboard.

We went on the Eco tour/ Dolphin watch and were in Murphy's law. Our guides were great didn't see much marine life but we did see a pod of dolphins which was really cool. Can't beat the price either 10.00 bucks. I would defiantly take snother trip with Isla Tours n Captain Murphy.

This was a fun and exciting trip. Captain and tour guide were great. First our they put a net into the water to see if they could like any sea life in the laguna. The young man who pulled the net from the bottom laguna showed us all of the fish and other sea life and explained them in detail. Today we saw several blue crabs, a butterfly ray, squid, puffer fish, star fish and several smaller kinds of fish. We even got to hold them. He was so knowledgeable of everything. Then we went out into the gulf and spotted numerous dolphins. It was a great day. They are so knowledgeable and it was one of the best times we've had. We are winter Texans. This is our 6th year in the Valley and our 3rd dolphin watch tour. Isla Tours are the best tour on the Island.
