This was mainly a dolphin tour with very little history. Everyone onboard ended up a little wet as well.

Everything was pretty straightforward and smooth. We got there early and there is a little wooden kiosk on the corner. The only one there next to the Harbor House. Paid Parking was right next to it. Get your passes. Line up for the boat and embark. Tour guide was pleasant, fun and knowledgeable. The weather was perfect around 80F but felt like 74F while it’s moving. We were able to see dolphins while doing the historic tour so that was a little bonus. Will come again!
The captain was excellent. He was fun and had some funny dad jokes. Always enjoy small boat rides and learn a bit!

Captain was excellent. Nice to hear local history wherever we go. Great fried for the price. Just think seniors should get a discount.

Captain Ben was wonderful . He had a great sense of humor, very friendly and played great music! Relaxing and enjoyable tour. Saw dolphins, learned a little about the tall ship and battleship and even saw a concrete ship.

The dolphin/history cruise is a nice way to spend 45 minutes. It is entertaining as well as informative - I am a local and saw things, such as the cement ship shipwreck, that I had never seen before. Captain Adam was humorous and knowledgeable and presented the information in a fun, easy to understand format. The only negative was fighting the traffic from all the cruise ships to get there but considering the experience as a whole it turned into a minor inconvenience. Treat yourself to a nice time and take this cruise.
A beautiful ride on the Galveston Bay. Highly recommended.

I thoroughly enjoyed the cruise. A lot of information was explained. We had the chance to see some dolphins. There was great music & I was inspired so much that I had to get up & dance. Some ladies wanted to join me.
