We had an amazing time on our dolphin boat trip! 🐬 The whole experience was great from start to finish. The crew was friendly, the boat ride was relaxing, and seeing the dolphins up close was definitely the highlight. Highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a fun experience on the water! 🌊
5Amazing experience
Amazing experience. Captain was able to get the locate the dolphins. Great for families and must do to do
3Okay.
It’s first come first served, so to get decent seats be there early and get in line when it’s announced. Our family of five was split because they have it so crowded. We had to sit in the inside of the boat and once everyone moved around we got to get a better view outside to actually see anything. Overall it was okay. We did see some dolphins.

About South Padre Island
South Padre Island is a barrier island at the southern tip of Texas, with wide Gulf beaches, shallow lagoons, dolphins and sea turtles.
South Padre Island is a narrow barrier island at the southern tip of Texas, a short distance from the Mexican border, with the Gulf of Mexico on one side and the shallow Laguna Madre on the other. A causeway crosses the lagoon from Port Isabel, a small fishing town with a lighthouse of the 1850s that can be climbed, and the beach runs for miles of pale sand.
