We were warmly greeted by Deborah Short and Captain Tim and saw lots of dolphins, birds, and beautiful sites. Deborah's extensive knowledge of dolphins, vegetation, and HHI, kept our attention the entire 90 minutes. She even treated us to a lesson in crabbing and how to spot the difference in stone crabs, blue crabs, male, and female.
– Beth M. | TripAdvisorWe had a wonderful trip with a very knowledgeable guide. We learned about the Inter-coastal Waterway, marine life and local influence. Our first experience with Dolphin Seafari was extremely positive, and we would recommend for adults as well as families with children.
– Kimberly S. | TripAdvisorOur sunset cruise on the small pontoon boat was fabulous! Deborah, the on-board naturalist, educated us on the ecosystem of the marshland and was very hands-on with the smaller children on the boat. This was SO much better than dolphin-watching on a larger ship! Our group of 16 people had a great time and it was definitely a highlight of our vacation!
– Linda B. | TripAdvisorDeborah and Captain Vern were friendly and very personable. Deborah kept engaged with the guests and children through the whole trip. We were only able to see a few dolphins, but the crab trap was very hands on and fun for the kids.
