When we took the Ecological *ECO TOUR* ride on the boat in the bay area. The staff throw nets into the water and drag the bottom for 20 agonizing minutes! When they pull the nets in, the creatures are somewhat tire, and some were dead! Also, the BOAT ECO TOURS, hold the sea life out of the water way too... More

So exciting to see the groups of dolphins with Scarlett, the Dolphin Whisperer. She lived up to her name. We saw a number of Scarlett's dolphin family & they stayed around us for most of our tour. Loved the small group experience.

Touch tanks in the center is so cool and their staffs are friendly and informative. My kids learned some sea life facts from them. The dolphin tour is gorgeous, and the best trip that we had ever joined. We saw many dolphins in the Bay Area, and those dolphins are lovely and like to played around our boat driven by... More

I lived in Florida for twenty years and never saw the variety of sea life as was housed in this tiny jewel!

The beauty is in... More

George & Scarlett are so knowledgeable about where the dolphins are & about them. They are so respectful to them and to the people of the tour. It's such a personal experience with less people and the dolphins love them.! I recommend them to anyone wanting a amazing experience!

We recently took a trip to South Padre Island with our two grandchildren , Aiden (4) and Luke (6). We live in Oklahoma. This was their first time to see the ocean or the dolphins. The Dolphin Research and Sea Life Center will be one trip they will remember for a lifetime. They loved the hands on exhibits and we... More

The guy at the front desk was very rude. We had two young kids with us and he just seem very ignored by us. My son was touching a beam that they have there and he got it and threw it in the other tank...like he was disgusted by him touching it...when it was okay to touch.

We watched the ongoing film that they had made about local dolphin families and did not realize how much dolphins can be like people.
