Fantastic trip! Saw dolphins within 15 minutes of leaving harbor and continued to do so throughout the entire trip! Several even swam alongside the boat. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Will definitely do again!!

It was the most amazing tour and was big fun! Our guide, Trey, was amazing and introduced us to several alligators. We will definitely return!

Went on the sunset cruise on 2025 memorial day weekend!! It was great..glad my wife and I could get on board. Booking was easy. They have an onboard bar and snacks to purchase. The upper deck had the DJ for dancing, etc.

What an incredible experience going to Ship Island! The customer service and top notch crew at Ship Island Excursions aim to please. The ferry ride round trip experience is amazing on its own. When you get to the island that's when the trip goes into over drive. Beautiful beach and very peaceful. Definitely recommend that everyone needs to book a trip today!

My husband, our 3 small children (ages 7, 5, and 2) and myself took a dolphin watching cruise this evening. It was fantastic! The crew told us they guarantee people will see dolphins and they weren't lying. We were maybe 20 minutes into the boat ride and they were already spotting dolphins to point out to all of us. Then, they spotted a shrimp boat a little ways out from us and got us positioned over by it, because as the shrimp boat would throw their "trash fish" overboard, the dolphins and seagulls would hang around. We saw easily 50+ dolphins. They did say meeting up with a shrimp boat like that isn't the norm, but it certainly worked in our favor and our kids were so excited to get to see that many dolphins! We would definitely cruise with them again in the future!

This is our 2nd time taking this cruise and I know it won't be our last. The ferry ride to the island is the best.

Ask the Community - Ship Island Excursions

How long is the boat ride?

1 hr

With the algae bloom closing beaches along the shore is the water at ship island safe?

They check the water at Ship Island daily. It is not as clear as usual, but as of yesterday was testing safe.

Is this baby friendly? We have a 10 month old and worried about her getting too hot

The Gulfport boat has an air conditioned section, no problem there. No AC on the island. If you pick a day that has a forecast of South/Southeast wind15 knots, partly cloudy, rent the umbrellas/chairs, and not stay all day, the baby should be fine.… Read more

Is the boat and island accessible by power wheelchair?

I remember seeing wheelchair ramps both on the boat and on the beach
