Watching to dolphins chase the boat, the crew was great. Our grandkids loved it. The captain was very knowledgeable of the dolphins and the waters we were in. My grandson got to drive the boat. The others grandkids got to feed the baygulls.

The captain and crew were so much fun and shared their dolphin knowledge with us. They knew exactly where to go to find their resident dolphins. The captain even allowed the kiddos to come take a picture with him driving the boat and with his captain hat!

Poor job managing reservations!
Jill_B

We booked for 2 groups of 9 and when we arrived they only had one group in their system and no room for the other half of us. I am still waiting for my refund for the half that couldn’t go.

Hi Jill. We understand your frustration and we are also upset that this happened. However, as I explained to you in person, this was not human error, but a disconnect between Viator and our reservation system. We have looked into it, and this is the collaborative response that we received from FareHarbor [reservation system] and Viator: "With these reports from Viator, it looks like the customer had 2 different windows up and attempted to buy them 3 seconds apart. This confused the API and allowed the initial one, but since the second one was purchased so quickly behind. Our api rejected it because there could have not been enough spots left in the availability after the initial 9 booked. Your connection is working correctly, this was a workaround by the customer so this should not happen again." Viator has issued you a refund for your second reservation, and we gave you one free ticket to add an additional person to your first reservation. I think a review like this is extremely unfair considering the circumstances, when this reservation was made through a third party. We are working to make sure this doesn't happen again.

The 8 of us went on this tour. It was very exciting. We saw several dolphins feeding. It was interesting to see the dolphins catch fish by throwing them in the air and eating them like popcorn. Missed those pics. :-(. The kids were very fascinated. The drinks and snacks were reasonable. Our host A-ARon and Carrie were great. Kids got to take pic with the captain. Very informative. Great tour! Thanks
