We had such a wonderful time on the Baywatch Dolphin Experience! Captain Ben was amazing – funny, personable, and kept us entertained the whole trip. On top of that, he shared real educational insights about the dolphins and Galveston area, which made the experience even more special. We saw plenty of dolphins and learned so much. Highly recommend this tour and especially Captain Ben!

The captain was very good and entertaining (though a bit factually inaccurate!) we enjoyed it very much.

The crew cracked a few decent jokes, we got to see all the things in the bay, and there were dolphins everywhere. I highly recommend!

Scam. Horrible customer service.
Came out and the business was blocked off and barricades were up for a biker event. Came out 27 mins early. Reached out in advance. At no time had the company advised me of their lack of parking and how it would be a struggle to get in, that id need to pay $40 additionally to park a mile out and walk back. 14 mins before take out im still communicating with Lori letting her know I was still in and couldnt get in and didn't know how to get in. She told me to just park somewhere and pay for it. Never advising me that it would be wasted money as she knew the boat would take off on us any way. I hate everything about ever considering this company. $100 wasted and nothing but bad customer service, a hike taken that I didnt sign up for and no boat trip. My kid cried all the ride back home. I would NEVER recommend this place to anyone!

Its a good experience. You can see dolphins swimming here and there. Dont expect too much. Its just a glimpse kind if thing and you happen to see up to 10 dolphins just swimming that too in a distance but not close. The ride is enjoying with captains humorous commentary. Worth in galveston.

A fun experience with the assistance of the tour guide giving information about the city, a few of the ships, and the dolphins. Accompanied with good music and funny jokes, this tour is a must for anyone visiting Galveston.

Great tour for a solo travel day in Galveston. We saw several dolphins and it was cool to be in the harbor and see other ships and some of the history of the museum ships.
