This is a great tour for kids and adults alike. The staff was very friendly. Tour was an hour and a half and we saw at least 50 dolphins if not more during the tour. They also put out the fishing net and caught some shrimp, crabs and stingrays for the kids to play with on the boat (in a... More

This was--as most reviewers suggested--a worthwhile experience. We saw plenty of dolphins, though Gary seemed a little disappointed. The sound system could have been better; he was hard to hear at times. Nice boat, and they kept it to a good number to ensure that it wasn't overcrowded. I would recommend it. More

My family and I hired Captain Bruce Staffel of the Port Aransas Boatman Private Boat Charters to take us on a dolphin-watching tour. He has a catamaran boat, which was perfect for being up close to the dolphins as they gracefully swam right next to us. We enjoyed Bruce's extensive knowledge of Port A and its history too. A very...

We did this Dolphin boat tour with Captains Captains Gary and Sue. This one cost $22 a person and was scheduled through Captain Kelly's Deep Sea Headquarters. . You boarded a small flat bottom boat which also had a small second deck above you. Captain Gary was fabulous. Friendly, funny, knowledgeable. He slowed down anytime he would see dolphins, even...

It was a nice tour, we saw lots of dolphins. I liked the smaller boat...less people...I'm not one for crowds.

We took our small girls on the dolphin encounter. It was pretty neat. Didn't see a ton of dolphins, but did see some and they were pretty amazing. Not bad priced and had a great time! More

I took my children aged 5 to 19. All had a great time being out on the boat. We did see dolphins. The trip could have been much more interesting if it had guided more. The captain/ guide didn't seem very interested in giving more than a few basic facts about the area. When asked questions, he seemed irritated and... More

Before actually going on this tour, the people I communicated with over the phone were not super friendly or helpful. Beyond that, the tour was fairly enjoyable. Our Captain was friendly, knowledgable, and helpful. Unfortunately, because we went at the 12:30 tour, there were not as many dolphins as we had hoped for. Go in the morning (10:30) if you... More

Its not like you have to ride on this tour to see dolphins in Port A, but it was a lot of fun. The captain was very knowledgable about the area and helped us find all the dolphins. More
