Jennifer H.
It was so nice for my husband and I to be able to drink and relax while Capt Riley and first mate Madi did all the work. Madi was so good with our kids and took them around on the paddle board, and Riley kept the drinks coming. Worth every penny! -
Ashley H.
Stop looking! And book Crab Island Adventures. We have used many cruise companies in the area and from start to finish they are by far the best! Cleanest boats, friendliest crew, and their customer service is next level! Not to mention they are the only ones with free and easy parking! -
Sarah M.
This dolphin cruise was even better than Hawaii! The dolphins came right up to the boat and swam alongside us for several minutes. Our son is still talking about it! If you’re on the fence, just book it. Private boat, up close views, and a truly personal experience that made our whole vacation.
