Four of us(two couples) went on the Friday night fireworks cruise for the second year in a row. We are always treated as special guests on this cruise and the Captain and crew of the "Murphys Law" are always wiling to go the extra mile. They make sure we see dolphins on every trip and make sure we have a... More

They demonstrated competence in their duties and in caring for the safety of the... More

The place is beautiful South Padre Island Texas and you enjoy a dolphin watch tour on a 62’ boat, Murphy's Law and you travel out into the bay known as the Laguna Madre. This boat takes you on a really fun trip that is approximately two hours and you really do experience the thrill and the joy of seeing dolphins.... More

We made reservations for a group of nine for the fireworks cruise. The website stated it was $30 per person for two and a half hours. We were kept waiting around for over an hour so we had nothing to do but look at their board, which said it was $25 per person. Eventually the boat left, but we were... More

We are sorry to hear that you feel that you were not treated fairly. We had to reschedule trips due to Hurricane Alex and this is why there was longer than expected wait time. Hurricane Alex caused a lot of problems and was a huge inconvenience. We hope that your group had a fun time once you were on your... More
