Had a great time. Smaller sized crowd which is nice. Kids got to see some crabs and shrimp at the end the boat caught and released.

Super fun and inexpensive experience that escapes the sand and tar but still allows you enjoy the water and wildlife. Very professional and lighthearted crew, perfect for all ages. Loved watching the family of dolphins swim with the boat and the water was beautiful.

Oh my goodness I've tried to write this review three times now somehow it keeps getting erased I'm talking my review so you won't see any punctuation we had a amazing time both in June of 2023 and this year and June of 2023 we went on a very calm sunny day and saw tons of dolphins plus we learned about the sea creatures that were caught in their Nets This year 2024 we went on an extremely windy cloudy day with our 5-year-old and 7-year-old grandchildren we did not see near as many dolphins however there were more sea creatures caught that we learned about the lady I wish I could remember her name that shared information about the sea creatures she obviously knew how to work with children she patiently gently explained about each creature answer all the kiddos questions including the older ones adults that is she had a young guy and a little older guy helping her I wish I could remember each of their names anyway the kids and adults were allowed to touch and are hold all the safe creatures saying this I mean there was a stingray the kids did not hold obviously. The kids and their Grammy loved being at the front of the boat the kids giggled and said they loved how the waves tickled their tummy Grammy enjoyed this as well we got to go out further this trip and it was amazing! Their Pappy chose to stay sitting in the shade and followed from the front to the back of the boat as they moved this being said there's plenty of room to sit in the Shaded area in addition there's an area on top and open area on top people can sit as well I highly recommend this tour and we hope to come back next year to South Padre and we will definitely choose this tour when we do thank you to everyone on their boat for being so kind helpful and making our time memorable
