We took the sunset cruise with the crew of Mike and Mike and they are absolutely the best. WE saw dolphins jumping completely out of the water and into the air. Then a waterside tour of the beautiful homes. As sunset approached, Captain Mike took the boat out into the Gulf of Mexico and initially positioned it so a schooner in the area was in front of the sun for beautiful pictures. Then he positioned the boat so that Crewmake Mike could take a picture of each group with the sunset behind us, using OUR cameras so no additional cost. They were funny, pleasant, and enjoyable. This is a MUST DO and we will go again, only with them, whenever we are back in the area.

Crew was pleasant. Very enjoyable boat cruise with lots of really close dolphin experiences. I was concerned about motion sickness but the areas they go are shallow and calm. We fealt it was a great value. Highly recommend!

I took my 84 year old mother on the tour. She had never seen dolphins in the wild and in the bay we saw lots of them. It was a cloudy, cool and windy day and even though we had layers on we made use of the blankets that they wonderfully had on board as well. The tour guides were wonderful with facts about the dolphins and information on some of the beautiful homes in the area. Because it is a pontoon type vessel the tour would be wonderful for families, although it was all adults on our tour. You will pay to park at John's Pass where the tour is based, but we had no trouble finding a place to park. If you book ahead of time the ticket area is on the same level as the boat and in the buildings right behind the dock. There is a restroom there as well.

My family and I had a great time with Dolphin Quest. Their barge had enough seating for everyone. Within 15 min of leaving the harbour the crew spotted some dolphins. Was able to get up close and people were allowed to stand to get a better view. The captain provided some insight on them as the boat tried to follow their path. Second half of the cruise was seeing the waterfront mansions. Highly recommend Dolphin Quest!

Been coming to the area for many years and never done a dolphin cruise til now. Saw lots of dolphins and great scenery.

We started out in the gulf and saw so many dolphins really lucky. Then came back in and went on a tour of the bay. Wildlife islands and expensive homes. Captain and crew were great. They had beer, wine and soft drinks for purchase on board.

My husband and I went on the DolphinQuest sightseeing boat tour, and had a wonderful time. The boat was clean and had comfortable padded seats, beverages and snacks were very reasonably priced, and there was a clean bathroom on board. As promised, we saw a ton of dolphins that were obviously comfortable around their boat because they came right up next to it ! We experienced a pod with several baby dolphins that surrounded the boat. It was truly amazing. The captain and crew narrated the tour, and showed us some notable homes and historic places as well. They were funny and informative. We will definitely bring our family and friends visiting for the holidays to show off the beautiful waters and amazing animals.

My husband and I have been visiting the Treasure Island / John’s Pass area for over 13 years and we absolutely love it! We’ve never missed an opportunity to do the Dolphin Quest with Captain John, it’s such a fun and exciting experience. This year was no different but we decided to make it a trip just for my hubby and our 9 year old son. The weather was gorgeous and Captain John and first mate Troy did an excellent job on the tour. They saw so many dolphins! My son was so excited talking about how they were playing, jumping and close to the boat. It’s also very educational and my son came back spouting facts and information about all sorts of things. Captain John has always been so friendly and kind, he’s very patient; it’s a great experience for the entire family. We will definitely be back!

We very much enjoyed the dolphin boat. We saw a mom and baby dolphin playing and a few other dolphins along the way. The captain was very knowledgeable and friendly. Would definitely recommend!

We did the dolphin tour on a Friday afternoon with our 3 yr old and 9 yr old. They did a good job getting us to the dolphins and up close we even saw a mom and a baby and learned new facts about dolphins and the area around. We used a Groupon deal with no issues. Fun way to see the area and beautiful dolphins. They sell drinks and it’s really nice that it’s a covered boat so your not in the sun the entire time with no shade.

My friend and I booked a 4pm cruise a couples weeks prior to our visit. At a little after 3 the day of our cruise, I was contacted by the company saying there weren’t enough people signed up and it would most likely be canceled. I understand the need for a minimum turnout, but what was frustrating was that we were not notified until less than an hour before. Not only had we planned our entire day around it, but an earlier heads up would have allowed us to rebook on an earlier cruise or given us ample time to figure out plan B. Our tour was the last one for the day so they could only offer to rebook for the next day which did not work with our out of town travel plans. I did get a full refund and I know they couldn’t help the fact that we were the only two signed up but I will probably book with another company in the future. The lack of notice and minimal apologies added to the disappointment of missing what would have been a fun adventure!

I went on this tour twice. One time in 2016 and one in 2019. The crew is spectacular! Captain Greg is a great captain! I would recommend this to anyone looking for a fun outing on the sea!

Love this place! Brought the entire family a few years ago when they visited and they requested it again when visiting recently! Great adventure. Guide is always fun, pointing out other things in the area, plus seeing lots of dolphin.

After cruising in the gulf for a while we didn’t see any dolphins so the captain took the boat back into Boca Ciego and we saw a lot of dolphins! A mother with a new baby was cruising around along with several other adult dolphins and most of the time they were within 25 feet or so of the boat. It was a great experience and fully worth the cost. Do yourselves a favor and take the cruise.

We went on an adventure on the pirate ship! The kids loved everything about this trip!! The crew were top notch and kept the adults happy with free wine and beer. I would recommend this for sure!!
