Had a great time on the thriller. Saw so many dolphins right behind and next to the ship. Got great shots and video. The ship is nice and smooth and the tour operators are very nice. Overall a great experience. If u r in sanibel dont hesitate to take this tour. U will love it. more

The Sanibel Thiller boat trip was excellent! Capt J.R. is like the Dolphin whisper, he finds pods of dolphin and knows how to get them to play in the wake of the boat, they are so close you think they are going to jump right into the boat with you. The tour guide Elizabeth does a wonderful job narrating the... more

Elizabeth was great. She was very informative and added so much to the history of Sanibel and Captiva. The Captain slowed to allow the dolphins to follow the boat which was a great show. We will definitely do it again. If you are visiting Sanibel, don't miss this adventure. more

We took the Thriller on 10/28. It was very reasonably priced and worth every penny. Elizabeth was a fun and informative narrator. The Cap't was the coolest. Never spoke but could spot the dolphin pods a good ways off. And those dolphins!! Hoiw cool to see them play in the waves. It was so fun, one of the highlights of... more

We have been spending a month each spring on Sanibel for 10 years and took our first Thriller ride in May. Now it will be an annual event for us. more

I checked out all of the reviews and Trip Advisor did not steer me wrong. Everything about the Sanibel Thriller ride was perfect! The owners were super informative and friendly. The boat was AMAZING, the captain for tons and tons of dolphins. My photos are incredible. You will not be disappointed! more

The Thriller Cruise is simply AWESOME! Anyone, who participates will have a lifetime experience.The best thing about the dolphin is that you can see them in their natural habitat, their performance for the visitors is spontaneous, and you can tell these super lovely creatures just LOVe people.They are adorable. I was afraid before the trip started but then I realised... more

We took the Sanibel Thriller around Captiva and Sanibel. We saw lots of dolphins. It was our favorite thing we did on our trip. When we go back we will do it again. The crew was friendly and fun. Awesome!!! more

Based on reviews here, we made a reservation and were not disappointed. This was one of the highlights of our trip. It's hard to believe the dolphins are not "trained" and they actually like to follow the boat. They really look like they're having fun. This was a great time and the tour is supposed to be about 1 1/2... more

AWESOME!!!

We debated on taking the Sanibel Thriller because the price was a little high, so we thought! This was AWESOME! We enjoyed the captain and guide who gave you the history of Sanibel Island, Captiva, Pine Island and much more history! They also had so many dolphins playing behind the boat! We got some amazing photos! They also gave some... more
