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.

The guide was very nice and answered all questions. Unfortunately, it took us forever to find the dolphins. The biggest surprise was the size of the dolphins. They are very small (not normal size dolphins). It was explained that because they live in the small bay area, their growth is actually stunted. I would not have booked this trip, had I known. I lOVE using Viator and am rarely disapointed. Sadly this excurtion was disappointing and definitely not worth the money.

Hi Diana, glad your guide was professional and was able to answer all of your questions. I have never thought about customers being disappointed in the size of our dolphins....... Honestly, that's nature and that matter is out of our hands.
