My sister, nieces and I went on the 1 day event. Denis was knowledgeable about the ocean and the animals. He was always willing to answer any and all questions that we had. We saw countless dolphins, 3 stingrays, and a crab that crawled into my nieces life vest. We saw others who illegally touched the dolphins and we witnessed... More

The sun on your back, the wind in our hair and he utmost joy of seeing wild dolphins is one thing that everyone loves.

I went out on a few tours with water planet this may and I can say hands down this was one of the best experiences of my life! The captains knew so much about dolphins and and showed the utmost respect for these amazing animals. I never felt like we were harassing or bothering them. The moment when a dolphin... More

Swimming with wild dolphins has always been a dream of mine and Water Planet gave me an experience that surpassed my wildest expectations. All the staff is so pleasant and well informed when it comes to wild dolphins and marine life in general that i felt it was an educational experience on top of a regular dolphin tour. Seeing and...

What a wonderful afternoon on the Gulf, but more importantly, a wonderful day jumping in the same waters as dolphins! Denis' expertise, knowledge, respect and love for dolphins did not go unnoticed by us. It was an experience that me and my boyfriend will never forget. (He hasn't stopped talking about it, and I'M the dolphin lover!) As we plan... More

I was skeptical of how well this company would follow the MMPA rules (and in general, just be respectful of the animals we'd be seeing). However, our captain Denis was not only knowledgable about the area and its wildlife, he had the dolphins' best interests in mind. I never felt as though we were chasing them down. He just predicted... More

Easily the best part of our trip! My wife and I had an amazing time; thank you Dennis! We saw so many dolphins, swam with them lots and watched them lots. Dennis was a great guide, very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

2 Families said on this trip and unanumous that it was the best part of the trip. Other that the cold water which not one could help. We swam with the dolphins!, Great time. Stopped by shell Island and Kids hit jackpot. Dennis took us right where we needed to go and see the Dolphins. No wasted time at all... More
