    Review summary

    Excellent
    34 reviews•Google Maps

    The crew here really stands out, with captains like Claudia, Joshua, and Steve earning genuine praise for keeping guests entertained, playing great music, and actively searching for dolphins. Multiple families mention feeling safe even when storms rolled through, which speaks volumes about the experience level. The complimentary floats and water toys are a nice touch that people appreciate, and reviewers consistently note the affordability compared to other Crab Island options without sacrificing quality. There are a few operational hiccups worth knowing about. A couple of reviews mention confusion at check-in with no clear meeting point or staff guidance when arriving at the dock. More concerning are isolated instances of last-minute cancellations and booking mix-ups, including one group that ended up on a different boat size than expected. These seem to be exceptions rather than the norm, but it's worth confirming your reservation details directly. One reviewer also noted that other passengers' behavior affected their family's experience, though that's the unpredictable nature of shared tours. Overall, most families and groups had memorable experiences with attentive captains who know how to show people a good time on the water.

    We had a private tour group of 6, myself(mom) and "kids"(5-21yr olds). The price was very affordable compared to the other tour companies. We got to see a dolphin on the way to crab island. The island is gorgeous! The captain made sure we were all safe and had everything we needed. Will definitely book again next year!
