As this is a natural occurrence, one we do not have control over bioluminescence tour dates, times, and viewing opportunities are subject to change. We aim to provide the best viewing opportunity for our guests. Some days are not as great as others or as it is a living organism it shifts location.
We try our best to assure the best vantage point and location, even extending tours before in hopes of getting the best opportunity of this event. But we can’t be right all the time.
Great experience! Highly recommended for anyone who is trying to learn information about the area and see dolphins! Very talkative making it so relaxing. Jen and Sydney were our tour guides for the sunset cruise. Truly had a wonderful time so worth it!
Amazing experience!!! Plenty of dolphins, manatees, birds, and the captain and Co-captain were fantastic! They invited my 7-year old daughter to drive the boat! She gives them 100 stars!!!
Captain Jen & First Mate Sydney did a wonderful job! Their knowledge on birds and where we were going was fantastic for us out of towners. The kids had a blast being able to drive the boat. And of course, seeing all the dolphins were the highlight of the trip. Thanks again!!
Jenn was very knowledgeable and funny. Sidney was super nice and also let the kids drive the boat. We enjoyed the restaurant recommendations and ability for them to spot out the dolphins quickly to us!
Captains Jenn and Jack were absolutely amazing!! Very knowledgeable and fun! They even let my 10 year old daughter and 16 year old son drive the boat, which they loved!! Core memory locked in. Thanks so much! Worth every penny!!

Amazing experience! My 10 yr old says 200/5 stars 🌟 we had a group of 4 on the 6 person boat tour. Our guide was extremely personable and knowledgeable. He told local stories and pointed out all the wildlife along the canal and river. And we saw so many dolphins!! Our group had a wide age range from 84 to 10 years old, everyone was comfortable and had a great time. Bring sunscreen, cold water was available.
The Staff was amazing, very nice and knowledgeable. We had a great time and saw many dolphins. We came back a second time to try the night tour and see the bioluminescence and the alligators. It was so much fun with Jack and Johnathan. Thanks so much for an amazing night of fun and laughs.
