    The idea was better than the trip

    I was so excited to take my dogs on their first boat ride. And the owner was nice. I went on a Tuesday expecting it to not be completely full. I paid $80 and was not able to sit next to my partner. We had two dogs and checked in 30 minutes early so we have plenty of time. The owner told the other people with dogs to go down early but not us we were the last to board. With the dogs if we would have got a row seat together it would have been a super enjoyable experience but we were split up and sitting next to strangers. For an hour and a half I was hanging off the seat. I was really upset by the time we got off the boat. The seats fit three maybe if you know each other. My partner was also sitting next to someone who complained about being allergic to dogs so she was u comfortable too. The town was so cute and their were dog friendly restaurants. I guess I would call to see how full the boat is before paying and just be prepared not to sit with your party. No one rather you have a dog or not wants to pay to do something with their partner if you can’t sit together especially if you are an Introvert personality. I would have just cancelled but they are non refundable u less you cancel 24 hours in advance.

    Tons of fun and great views!

    This boat ride was so much fun. The captain and his wife were very welcoming of our dog during the boat ride.

    Fun and relaxing

    My dog went for her first ever boat ride with this tour! The tour was nice and mostly we just enjoyed the ride and heard about some of the natural history of the area. We saw a number of dolphins come right up to our boats, and a ton of pelicans, cormorants and other birds. Tour is about 1.5 hours long so make sure your pup can handle sitting still for that long, and bring water on hot days.
