These people deserve 100 stars, not just five. As a surprise celebration for my 70th birthday, my husband, our three daughters, sons-in-law, and four grandchildren whisked me away to West Palm Beach, Florida. One of our activities was an afternoon with Palm Beach Dolphin Tours and it was a HIGHLIGHT of the entire weekend. From the moment they greeted us at the dock, Stefan, Barbara and Chris were stunningly good - knowledgeable (Stefan can do this in at least three languages), entertaining, and kind to a fault. Due to a freak accident, I'm recently out of a wheelchair and on a cane and was terrified to board the boat. No worries. Chris got me on and off without a hitch. The weather was excellent and when it threatened, this wonderful crew kept us from getting drenched without scaring us to death with marine maneuvers. We were allowed to bring our own snacks and beverages (many of which included alcohol ... ), the boat was scrupulously clean and very comfortable, and valet parking (gratis) is plentiful. I'm reluctant to say that we saw no dolphins on our trip but none of us minded one bit (sightings obviously can't be guaranteed). This was a memorable experience and we recommend Palm Beach Dolphin Tours to everybody.

Our family group ranged in age from 10 years old to 63 years old and we all loved everything about this adventure! There were eight of us in all and, along with the captain and crew, we had the boat to ourselves. The three grand children and the adults were enthralled with the boat ride (especially when the water splashed us) and the dolphins swimming and jumping alongside the boat. We saw dolphins shortly after leaving the Palm Beach inlet and they swam along side of us for probably 15-20 minutes. The dolphins seemed to have as much fun as we did!
Our captain was very skilled. Barbara and Stefan were great hosts and very informative and interesting. What a wonderful morning on the ocean and we helped support a great cause!

This was such a an amazing day on the water ...Stephan answered so many questions and followed up via text and the booking was easy and seamless.. we met and the dock by our friendly tour guides .. once in the water.. we were lucky enough to have a pod of 5-6 dolphins follow us for our entire tour . They seam next to us and even did a few jumps for us ..it was magical . We also we’re treated with their wealth of knowledge ... their resident dolphin expert chatted our entire journey .. she was not only like a biology class for my teenagers ..her personality and love for the ocean and the wild life that lives there was amazing ! I can not recommend this trip enough ! You will not only have a great time ..u will walk away With a deep appreciation for dolphins and the conservationists that guide you! Thx Stephan and crew amazing

My family went on a dolphin tour with a group of our friends. What an amazing experience. We saw approximately 20+ dolphins and were able to watch them for over an hour. Greyson, our guide with a Master's Degree in Marine Biology, was very professional and knowledgeable. They are a non-profit company that focuses on studying the dolphins and the conservation of the ecosystem. I highly recommend this tour!

We had such an amazing time!! It was so fun learning from the experts about the dolphins and helping them spot the dolphins near the shore. The crew was so knowledgeable and so sweet. They made sure me and my husband had a great time. 10/10 would recommend. Already planning on bringing more family the next time we’re in town!

Awesome tour. We had our tour today. Stephan and his wife were definitely class acts. They were super knowledgeable about the dolphins and other wildlife in the area and did an excellent job teaching us all about it. We will definitely be back.

I had no idea our tour would be so much more than a search for dolphins in the ocean. Dr. Stefan is an amazing educator. Our tour was beginning to look like it would end up a turtle sighting trip instead of a dolphin trip....and that was okay. When dealing with wild animals, they don't always play by human rules. But just as Stefan anticipated, we came across a pod of about 15-20 dolphins at the end of our trip. There were mamas and babies. We were able to get amazing photos and videos.
Once back at the dock, we saw stingrays and even a nurse shark.

I highly recommend this tour. Stefan, our guide, was very informative and clearly passionate about what he does. He knew just how to find the dolphins in the water, and he know how to maneuver the boat to get close to them without invading their space. We saw over 15 dolphins that day, and it was an incredible experience.

We were four adults on that really nice boat! Everybody was very friendly and we had a great time watching some dolphins and having a fast ride along West Palm Beach coast.
I believe Stefan does know everything about dolphins and answered every of our question. We were served water and he gave us a certificate and a book at the end of our 3hour trip.
Its really worth going!
Thank you so much for this wonderful experience!

I had the most wonderful and amazing experience at sea with Dr. Harzen and Skipper Chris. I was able to observe over a handful of beautiful, large sea turtles and numerous other sea species I never witnessed even though I am a Florida native. I love that the tour is incredibly well organized and that Dr. Harzen takes time to explain the biology of Dolphins, societal structures, behaviors and the challenges our marine environments are now facing due to pollution. It was awesome and I can't wait to go on another trip with this fabulous team.
