All of the staff was amazing... Wish we could have seen more dolphins and a manatee though. 2 hours was a little long for my 3 kids in the heat.
This is a great little hidden gem. Several marine educational exhibits are available inside the center. Great place for kids. The volunteer staff are very helpful. Mary gave grandson a private tour. She was super.
This is a wonderful facility with lots to offer! Pontoon boat rides, kayak tours etc! They are a learning facility and the tour guilds are very very knowledgeable! They have a birding guild (actually 3 guilds) every Tuesday which is great as well and it’s free! Starts at 8:00.
Went on the sunset dolphin cruise and we were not disappointed. Saw dolphins, different birds and the Ponce Inlet lighthouse. The sunset was beautiful! It was worth every penny!
After our morning cruise was cancelled, we were a bit skeptical, but we rebooked the evening sunset dolphin cruise and were THOROUGHLY impressed!
So thankful we were able to add this experience to our vacation this year. Spotted numerous dolphins and manatees while aboard our sunset cruise. Captain and narrator were both very friendly and knowledgeable.
Highly recommended!
