What To Expect

SPI Excursions

NOTE IMPORTANT: This booking is for 1 boat that can bring 1-6 passengers. Please only select 1 "traveler" on Viator. This private cruise travels through the Laguana Madre. South Padre Island is home to large pods of Bottlenose Dolphins year around. There is no doubt that dolphins are one of the most exciting animals in the ocean along with our local Sea Turtles and jelly fish. Other wildlife includes Osprey, pelicans, and rosy cheek spoon bills. Learn about the history of South Padre Island, such as the extinct Karankawa Indian tribe, storms that the island endured, Queen Isabella Causeway, and the many lost treasures of ship wrecks. The vessel is a 26 ft Leisure Catamaran with a bimini cover for shade and a head ( bathroom ) aboard. Plenty of room for the whole family up to 6 passengers. This small group cruise ensures great wildlife encounters.

Major fail with TripAdvisor/Viator/SPI Excursions! Booked a private boat tour so my daughter could have fun on a bot and see dolphins for her birthday. Arrived and it turns out our name didn’t make it into the system at SPI Excursions and the kid working the desk implied that it was my fault since I didn’t book directly with them. Another family came in for the same excursion we had booked and since they didn’t have any other “captains” available, we were told we’d have to come back tomorrow. Unfortunately it was our last day in SPI so that didn’t work for us. TripAdvisor and SPI Excursions need to get their act together. I’m sure it doesn’t matter to either company, but both have lost a customer today.

Hi Bruce, we understand your frustration, and please also try to understand ours when a third party reserves our seats it connects directly into our reservation system. That dolphin tour was not even available and why an agent even attempted to book it, I have no idea. Please note the cameras were reviewed and the "kid" who is 25 yrs of age simply stated it was out of our hands and we are unable to control the reservation because it wasn't made through us. It matters dearly to us that customers are upset, so much so that I personally was chatting with Trip Advisors tech chat over 2 hrs! So honestly, SPI EXCURSIONS, us, a small company, did everything possible ......a little compassion please 🧡
