Every trip has one free morning too few. These 4 dolphin watching trips justify the slot, priced and timed so you can decide in minutes and get back to the fun part.

“Dolphin watch and snorkeling I highly recommend as an activity. It was worth the price!!! Beautiful memories”
Spend two hours in the Everglades’ 10,000 Islands aboard a small boat limited to six people. Guides such as Don, Dan, Matt, Ray, and Glenn share local ecology and history while looking for dolphins, birds, manatees, fish, and shells. Wildlife sightings vary, but the setting is always the main event.
“I really loved this trip. It was such a peaceful and calm afternoon. Relaxing and fun at the same time. We saw dolphins and many birds and we learned quite a bit about the history of the area as well.”
Explore Everglades National Park’s 10,000 Islands on a quiet two-hour boat ride for up to six people. Guides such as Captain Don, Dan, Daniel, and Glenn share details about birds, mangroves, shells, dolphins, and park history. Bring water, sun protection, binoculars, and a camera.
“Our guide was very knowledgeable. He was able to identify and tell us about every species of bird we came upon. He piloted us expertly through the shallow waters of the 10,000 islands area of the Everglades Park. On the way out, we encountered a line dolphin who was in the mood to play. He surfed in our wake for a bit, and then he jumped out and twisted, splashing the captain on purpose. It was hilarious... he did it several times before turning back. Later, we spotted a fairly large flock of white pelicans. They were huge and flew very gracefully. It was beautiful and peaceful. On the way…”
Cruise Biscayne Bay with a licensed captain, passing Millionaire’s Bunker and Miami landmarks before stopping for swimming or snorkeling near Haulover. Bring food, drinks, and your own music. Captains including Jack, Cece, Monica, and Daniel have earned strong praise, but confirm the full cost and tour length before booking.
“It stormed during our entire 2 hour ride. Not sporadic showers but pouring rain the entire time. The captain was the only person with shelter. My friends and I were forced to endure a miserable 2 hours being pelted by rain. Instead Of canceling the trip the captain essentially forced us to endure the ride. I could not cancel because they would not refund me. The captain watched us sit miserably and instead of canceling she continued just to keep the money. The company and viator refused to issue even a partial refund. I wouldn't recommend this to my enemy”
