The Port of Brownsville Tour is a 5-hour narrated cruise from South Padre Island across the Laguna Madre Bay and traveling down the Brownsville Ship Channel. Along the way you will see our native Atlantic bottle-nose dolphins and migratory birds. You will learn about South Texas shrimping industry and their fleets, as you enjoy a taste of our local shrimp. You will hear a little history of the area, see decommissioned vessels being dismantled from the top down, oil rigs being built and repaired, and the Port where shipping vessels from around the world load and unload commodities. Upon your return you will see SpaceX launching site off in the distance. Our Captain and Crew make this an enjoyable and educational tour worth your time. Welcome aboard!

5.00It is a very informative tour. We went with my Sister-in-Law & her husband. It was their first time on this trip. They actually worked at Navel systems & were the engineers on some of the ships. They actually gave the narrator some information on the ships.
Educational experience

5.00Excellent tour! Ship captain not only ‘ followed the script’ but he was constantly on the lookout for extras. Thanks to him we not only got a great tour and learned interesting history and current developments but also got to see interesting wildlife. Well worth the $$!
Worth the reasonable cost

4.00Saw a lot of dolphins! Boat ride was a little long for my husband but he was so facinated with the information and the captain's knowledge of the story behind Port Brownsville. We both learned a lot and what a wonderful crew; very polite, professional and friendly. Great donuts and shrimp cocktail too.
Very informative
