We were really excited to take this tour because we had just had an outstanding experience with a similar tour in the PNW. Things started out fine with spotting our first dolphin within minutes of departure. Then after that we didn’t see any dolphins or manatees. Shell Key wasn’t too bad but I couldn’t help but feel disappointed that there wasn’t more to this trip than spotting one dolphin and snorkeling on a beach. Our captain was friendly enough but overall we just felt rushed, like just going through the motions. Seeing a lot of pelicans was cool however

Wow JC I believe you were wearing some "dark" glasses, or maybe your expectations were indeed a tad high. You refer to a magical place like Shell Key as "wasn't too bad"??? Wow. Even our customers who have done your Pacific Northwest tours tell us they sometimes don't see a single whale. But I guess that's all academic. I believe maybe you've lost appreciation for the nuances of our planet's ecosystems.

Well organized! Perfect to have 2-3 smaller boats that help each other finding dolphins. The cruice was good value, captain Kirk was very professional ⭐️ We traveled with two kids 8-10 years.
