The captain was great very friendly. The dolphins were awesome. I do wish we had gotten more history information. It was more of a dolphin tour with a dash of history. Otherwise weather was perfect and so fun!

I thought I had bought tickets for the historic tour of the battle ship but we were boarded on the dolphin watch. We had to wait an hour due to not knowing where to park or check in

Capt Ben was very knowledgeable about the Galveston Bay area, sealife and historic ships. He was hilarious and very fun to tour with. He also put us on quite a few dolphins for pictures and videos. I highly recommend taking the tour, especially to enjoy the interaction with Ben, see the dolphins and learn about the historic ships in the Bay.
