5Dolphin cruise
Andrew was an awesome guide and gave us a great dolphin experience! Best tour ever! Highly recommend this tour!
5Our great experience
Me and my family had a splendid time. The captain made this experience extra memorable, spinning the boat around letting us have a perfect view of watching the dolphins, stingrays, and manatees. There weren’t many people in the boat , which didn’t make it too crowded. The atmosphere was gorgeous, and there weren’t too many waves. With the captains dedication we were so close to seeing mermaids lol!
5Fun trip with captain Benny
Benny, our captain was great. Had a good time, got to see several dolphins and a few other interesting things. He gave us great info about the dolphins, AMI, and restaurants.
5Highly recommended
We had a wonderful experience. We were able to see a number of dolphins and explore the beautiful waters.
5Wonderful dolphin tour for the whole family
We had a wonderful experience on our dolphin tour. The crew did a wonderful job finding dolphins for us to view and providing us with lots of knowledge about the island. We recommend taking a tour when visiting AMI.
5calming boat ride with dolphins!
the entire boat was shaded, which was nice! there were 6 of us in my group and we each got our own bench to have great views the whole ride. we went in the middle of the day between thunderstorms and were still able to see ~10-12 dolphins! our guide jake was knowledgeable and kept us entertained the whole ride. recommended!
