Q&A

Q: What's the age limit for kids on this dolphin tour?

A: There's no strict age limit, but it's best suited for kids 5 and up since they need to be able to listen to the captain's instructions. The boat is pretty stable, so younger kids can join if they're comfortable, just make sure to bring life jackets for them if the weather's choppy.

Q: Is there a good time of year for dolphin sightings on this tour?

A: Dolphins can usually be seen year-round, but summer is peak season when they’re really active. If you go in the winter, keep an eye out for manatees, too! Just don’t forget to check the weather as it can affect visibility.

Q: What should we wear on the dolphin tour?

A: Dress for the weather! Light layers are best since it can get a bit chilly on the water, especially in the early morning. Don’t forget sunscreen and maybe a hat. Water shoes or sandals that can get wet are a great idea too!

Just booked the private dolphin tour in Anna Maria! Any tips?

So I just booked the Private Dolphin and Intracoastal Tour for my family for next month! We’re super excited. It’s our first time, and I’m a little nervous about finding the place and parking. Has anyone done this before? What was your experience like? Did you see dolphins? I'm hoping for a good weather day!

Private dolphin tour was everything we hoped for!

Just got back from the Private Dolphin Tour, and wow! We saw so many dolphins playing around the boat. The captain was great and even took us to some cool spots for photos. It was just our family on the boat, which made it super special. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a unique day out in Florida!
