Experience of a lifetime

This was one of the best cruises that I’ve taken! The crew was outstanding and very fun, not to mention TERRIFIC dolphin sightings!!! We will be coming back on our next trip!!! Google won’t let me share a video, but we had dolphins jumping in our waves right beside the boat. Also got to watch a baby dolphin having fun!!! Experience of a lifetime.

I highly recommend AJ's

We had another cruise booked but had to cancel due to they weren’t handicap friendly. So we last minute booked with this company for a cruise on 10/22. Loved the captain and his deck hand! So helpful in getting my husband on the boat with his rollator. Plus they were very entertaining and great guides. Made sure everyone no matter where you sat got a good glimpse of the dolphins as we came upon them. It was nice that they served us drinks. Good variety for all. I highly recommend AJ’s and will definitely be using them again in the future.

Had the best time! Great tour, great crew, loved when they let kids pilot the boat! But the best part is when 1000 horsepower is opened up! Try to wipe the smile off my face

It was amazing!

We did the snorkel and dolphin excursion and it was amazing, our group got lucky enough to see a whale shark! Cody and his crew were friendly and fun. On the way back in the kids get a turn at the wheel and it’s a wonderful experience for them! If you want to have a good time with your family I highly recommend AJ’s. We will always book our excursions with AJ’s.

We saw dolphins during both tours

I have done this Dolphin Cruise twice. I went on this tour a few months ago, and I really enjoyed it, and I appreciated what the crew stood for… When I felt like going on another tour, I didn’t consider any other company. It ended up raining during my second Dolphin Cruise. The crew prioritized our safety and made the right decision to cut the tour short. We were all given rainchecks, which are good any time. Zero complaints about this company. I will choose them again.

p.s. We saw dolphins during both tours.

Daytime Dolphin Cruise

We took the 1pm dolphin cruise and it was amazing!!! While the dolphins are going to do their thing our Captain worked hard to help us see them. Once he spotted them he was able to get them to jump in the boats wakes. I have a two minute video of several dolphins jumping the waves. We even saw a few sharks. It was a wonderful experience and worth the money! Highly recommend this company.

Truly an extraordinary and unforgettable experience!

If you are seeking a truly extraordinary and unforgettable experience, the sunset boat cruise is an absolute must. The seamless blend of natural beauty, exceptional service, and the feeling of being one with nature is an unparalleled sensation. Cody and Addison made this cruise completely worth it! I was really impressed when the crew positioned the boat perfectly in view of the sunset. The best part for us was when the setting of the sun and the ending of the song, Purple Rain happened simultaneously! Very beautiful experience!

It was the highlight of our week...

Our group took the Sea Quest snorkeling and dolphin adventure. We had a great experience. The captain and his crew were excellent. They were great with the kids and assured everyone had an awesome time. The boat was clean and safe. It was the highlight of our week for everyone in our party of 12 (ages 10-43).

AJ's Water Adventures was great!

AJ’s Water Adventures was great! We saw a ton of dolphins and even got to see two baby dolphins in the pod they found. They sped up the boat to get the dolphins to jump in the wake which was my kids favorite part. We highly recommend the tour!

HIGHLY recommend!!!

This was my second cruise at AJ’s and this time I brought my teenage kids. The sunset cruises are so much fun, and the crew was the reason we came back to AJ’s–especially Remi, he has so much positive energy and the kids just loved him! Can’t wait to do it again next time, hopefully sooner than later! HIGHLY recommend!!!

Sunset Dolphin Cruise was amazing. Captain and crew were professional and very fun. Saw lots of dolphins, fed seagulls, danced on the boat. Kids got to take pictures at the wheel with the captain. Worth every penny!
