What guests say about Dolphin Sightseeing on The Pelican
Curlytop
An amazing experience! The Captain & crew were so friendly and helpful, the St. Pete is a great boat - everything was perfect. On our way back, the captain even drove the boat in a giant donut so we could see the dolphins! Thank you for an unforgettable adventure!
Andy N.
Took son and his family on this boat trip. All had a phenomenal time! Crew professional, friendly and helpful at all times. Boat clean. Saw several dolphins and on the island several tortoises. Two hours on boat and two hours on island a nice balance. Highly recommend this experience!
Kari C.
We had a blast. The boat wasn't over crowded, which made it more personal. They let our boys hang out with the captain! The shelling was good around Egmont! They even made sure we were able to see some dolphins on the way back! They were very welcoming and helpful! We will definitely go on their boat again!
