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.

Brady, our guide, was very nice and knowledgeable of the area. It was nice to have the boat all to ourselves and not worry about big crowds of people. Enjoyable and relaxing

I live on the island and I finally went on the dolphin cruise myself and was surprised to learn many more things I have lived around and didn't realize. We are so glad Captain Brady as part of our team. thank you for the review!

We want to give a special thanks to Brady our tour Guide. He was very knowledgeable about the areas made us feel very relaxed and comfortable on the boat tour. The only draw back was that actually seeing the dolphins was hit and miss. Still a great experience though just being on the boat and water.

Hey there Margo, thanks for the great review. Sometimes the dolphins are so playful around the boat and other times they have an attitude.....LOL We interact with the marine species in their wild state and is therefore import to respect the dolphins when they don't want to be interactive.

DISCLAIMER: This is a PONTOON boat ride NOT a large Catamaran boat ride. If you want a PONTOON ride and go see dolphins then this is a very pleasant ride and our caption Brady was wonderful! Just make sure you know it’s a PONTOON boat.

Glad to hear you fully enjoyed your dolphin excursion with us. The large catamaran departs from next door and is another company. That boat holds 50 passengers. We also have a catamaran, pontoon and single hull vessel that are all private, no more than 6 passengers. A request can be made but we do not guarantee a vessel. All are very comfortable, clean and operated by professional captain. Thanks for your review
