    We had an absolutely wonderful tour with Captain John. The boat was beautiful and clean, the scenery was spectacular and he managed to put us on soooo many dolphins , manatees and birds. Plus the stop on the little island for shelling was wonderful. We had 6 people and there was more than enough room in the boat. All parties enjoyed greatly and was easily the highlight of our trip. Put it on your “must do” list!

    Capt. Carolyn squeezed us in at the last minute when our family fishing trip canceled. She is an amazing guide and gave our daughters a fantastic marine wildlife experience. Professional, knowledgeable, safety conscious, family oriented, and very personable.

If we ever come back to Fort Myers we will definitely do this tour again!

    We had an outstanding adventure with Captain Carolyn at the helm on our 3 hour tour. She was extremely proactive in communicating with us and planning the tour to respond to movements of the local wildlife. Got us around quite a few manatee that had recently returned from warmer spring waters. Dolphins and a bald eagle sighting were the icing on the cake. She was also very dialed in to the needs of our 2 yr old and dog, who weren't loving the rough waters and wind. Found the best way to navigate and minimize their discomfort. Thank you on behalf of our whole family!!!!

    This was one amazing trip for all of us! Thank you Captain Caroline 🥰 The best part of our vacation! Next time for sure it will be 6 hour tour. Captain Caroline was so knowledgeable about every place and able to make the dolphins to play next to us. She was so friendly with all of us,answering all of our questions, captured amazing pictures of us during the tour. Now my 7 year old daughter wants to be a Captain on a boat as well as my son 😀 Thank you, thank you from all of us!

    Thank you Captain Carolyn and Beach Buddy Tours - Cape Coral. Took my daughter for her 11th birthday on the dolphin and sunset cruise. WOW!! We were all blown away with the service and personalization given to us by Captain Carolyn. Thank you!

    We had so much fun with John, our captain! He was very accommodating, bringing us towels to use, water, and beach equipment for shelling! This is the best place for a tour of the cape. If you have littles or if you’re going with a group of adults, this tour has everything and is customizable to what the group wants to do! We went shelling at a fantastic spot on Captiva Island for about an hour, saw dolphins and manatees and other local wildlife and enjoyed the sun and wind in the canals. We definitely enjoyed our time on the tour. Thank you Captain John & Captain Caroline!

    Our recent family vacation was blessed with numerous beautiful and memorable moments, but the crown jewel of our trip was unquestionably the boat trip we embarked upon with Captain John at the helm. It was an experience that far exceeded our expectations, one that will forever be etched in our hearts as the highlight of our journey. Right from the start, we were greeted with the warm and jovial personality of Captain John. His deep knowledge of the sea, combined with a natural ability to engage with passengers of all ages, elevated our experience from the get-go. His professionalism and passion for his work were palpable, which only added to our anticipation of what the day had in store for us. Nothing prepared us for the spectacle that unfolded as we sailed deeper into the azure waters. A pod of dolphins decided to grace us with their presence, putting on an unforgettable display. Their energy and playfulness were mesmerizing, as they leapt from the water in sync with our gasps of delight. It was a moment where time seemed to stand still, with all of us entranced by the sheer beauty of nature at its finest. Captain John shared intriguing facts about the dolphins, adding an educational aspect to the experience. Witnessing these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat was not only awe-inspiring but also deeply moving. Their free-spirited display was a potent reminder of the magic and wonder that lies beneath the surface of the sea, waiting to be discovered. In conclusion, I cannot recommend this boat trip highly enough. It was a day filled with joy, wonder, and learning that resonated with every member of our family. Captain John's boat trip provided us with an adventure that we'll cherish for a lifetime, and we can't wait to return for another unforgettable ocean escapade. If you are ever in the area and looking for a magical experience, ensure this boat trip is on your itinerary!

    Absolutely WONDERFUL experience! Captain John is amazing, I can’t thank him enough for the incredible time we had on this tour. He was extremely accommodating and helpful with my family, I am so grateful to have found them! We had the best time, saw so many dolphins, took tons of pictures, found beautiful seashells, and Captain John was the best guide we could have ever asked for! Carolyn was also a sweetheart and helped me a tremendous amount with being accommodating when making my reservation. I can’t recommend them enough, you will have the best experience ever! Thank you guys so much, very appreciative of this day!

    I wanted to do something special with my Mom, the last year has been horrific due to Hurricane Ian flooding her home and displacing her, while it was re-built. I was basically choosing a tour blindly, but I chose wisely! The online booking was easy and Captain Carolyn followed up with me by phone to answer questions and process the $200 deposit for the 2 1/2 hour dolphin tour. Upon arrival, we were greeted by cheerful Captain John and boarded for our private boat ride with my 2 nieces and friend. Captain John is highly skilled navigating the waters, taking high quality photos, educating us on the history of the water and plenty of laughs! We saw plenty of dolphins and a variety of wildlife. We all had a wonderful time! Thank you!

    YOU GUYS. Stop searching and book these guys immediately. Captain John was so incredibly amazing on our tour, and finding Carolyn and him was a Godsend for our group! He started the tour by asking what we wanted to see. We literally gave him the reigns and let him decide what/where he wanted to show us. Trusting in his knowledge and letting him be a true guide was THE BEST thing we could do. He led us to at least 50 different dolphins throughout the day, most times getting them to “play” with the wake of the boat. Several times other boats would come drive along side us because he was always the one to get all the action. We even saw some manatees, which we weren’t expecting but were so fun! Ahhh! Captain John- If you see this… THANK YOU from the bottom of our South Dakota hearts for the experience you gave us last weekend. And Carolyn- you were so sweet on the phone I wish I could’ve hugged you in person. You are rare gems with an insane amount of knowledge. Thank you for sharing your day with us.

    We loved our tour with Captain Carolyn. We saw Dolphins and Manatees. Carolyn gave us a lot of interesting information about everything. Thank you so much!

  • 5/5 Dan W. 2 years ago on Google
    We had an amazing experience with Captain John. Very informative and having the dolphins swim and jump behind the boat was absolutely amazing. The highlight however, would have to be seeing a baby dolphin interact and play with its mother near the end of our tour. All around awesome, relaxing and a great experience. Will definitely book again next time we are down in the area.

    Captain Carolyn took our family out today and She was so knowledgeable and patient. She made sure we saw dolphins and manatees and it sure felt like we toured all of the area. Very easy pick up and a very nice comfortable boat!! Highly recommend!!

    Best part of our vacation by far! We went as a family of 5 with three kids (9-13 years old). The entire family had a blast. We did the 4 hour dolphin/manatee tour w/ the shelling beach exploration. Next time we plan to go for 6 hours instead, as we didn't want our adventure to end. Carolyn and Captain John were wonderful. We received over 100 high quality photos from the Captain right after the trip. Not only did we see countless birds, fish, dolphins and manatees, but we also found starfish, hermit crabs, and other interesting creatures. The kids brought home buckets full of shells. We can't wait to book our next trip. We are so thankful for the family fun and memories. Thank you so much for sharing your love of the water, nature, and area wildlife. See you next year!

    This tour was absolutely awesome! Captain John was so much fun, extremely knowledgeable and made the most out of our four hour tour. We saw a wide variety of birds, two sharks, dolphins and manatees. And we each had a bucket full of shells. Highly recommend!

    We recently went on the 4 hour tour with Captain John. He knows the area very well, especially where to find the animals, as well as some history of the area as well. Very friendly and professional and makes you feel right at home. Their boats are top notch and comfortable. I am so glad we booked a tour with Beach Buddy Tours!!! Cannot say enough good things about Captain John and Carolyn.

    This was such a fun experience! Captain Carolyn was awesome! She went out of her way to make sure we saw as many dolphins and manatees as possible. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife. She was also very nice and fun. She did everything she could to make it enjoyable for my family and I. I would recommend it to anyone, and would love to do it again!
