The Dolphin Explorer

Jan 2022 What an amazing and unforgettable experience for all ages! The crew was knowledgeable and fun. There is something for everyone from seeing dolphins, to learning about them, the views, and even stopping at the beach for shelling. This is an experience that we will repeat any time we go back to Marco.

Jan 2022 Our guide Bob was a wealth of knowledge. His passion for the dolphins is obvious. He did a great job of sprinkle in fun facts throughout the tour. Captain Eddie has a talent for driving the boat and spotting dolphins all at the same time. Eddie is a fantastic captain. Overall, this was a great tour. We saw many dolphins and various birds.

Dec 2021 I've been on other dolphin sighting boat tours before. Hands down, this is the BEST, most FUN, a bit of education, and too many dolphin sightings to count! Our tour guide, Bob, and Captain Eddie were just amazing! They knew what to look for, showed us how we could identify each dolphin, and got the dolphins to play with us on several occasions during our 3 hour ride. The boat is comfortable, shade and sun, with plenty of water and a toilet. The cost was extremely reasonable for 3 hours of fun in the sun! When in Marco - a MUST!!!!

Dec 2021 Amazing boat trip today with Bob and Captain Eddie. Both highly knowledgeable and professional, they found us 10 dolphins, 8 of which they were able to identify by name and tell us their age and family group, and we saw lots of different birds. Captain Eddie managed to get the dolphins to play behind the boat for a long way which was magical to watch. Boat was super clean and comfortable and well equipped. My daughter loved looking through the dolphin catalogue to see how the dolphins are identified, and enjoyed being part of the team. Bob gave her and the other children an activity book to compete throughout the trip and a lovely badge at the end. We also enjoyed the short stop on the beach to collect shells, managed to find some Beautiful conch shells. We had the most amazing trip, highly recommended. We will definitely be back someday

Dec 2021 Great time on The Dolphin Explorer! Captain Eddy and Naturalist Bob were professional, entertaining and very knowledgable, teaching us a lot about dolphins and birds alike. We saw many dolphins and were treated to quite a show as a few of them played in our boat's wake!! Met up with Parton, who survived two shark attacks as a young dolphin and was so thrilled to see him not only living but thriving and being one of the dolphins frolicking in our wake. The entire morning spent both on the water spotting the wildlife and then at the end of the tour walking Tigertail Beach looking for Marco's beautiful shells was absolutely perfect! Look forward to doing it again in the future!

Nov. 2021 Watching the Dolphins was an experience of a lifetime. So enjoyable. Bob and Captain Eddie were so knowledgeable about the dolphin habits. I would recommend this to all. Walking the beach for the shelling part of the tour was a great respite from the boat. Since you were walking on the beach at the end of the tour wearing flip flops or water shoes is recommended. Tennis shoes not needed on this cruise. What a fun time. Thanks Bob and Eddie
