Baywatch Dolphin and Harbor Tours operate around Galveston Harbor and provide the ideal opportunity to see the harbor, its wildlife, and enjoy a relaxing boat ride. Your captain (Coastguard Licensed) is Texan-born traveler and adventurer 'Mike', who is a very knowledgeable guide and during the narrated tour will tell you all about the area and wildlife. His boat 'Baywatch I' is a 34 foot tour boat that can seat 38 passengers either outdoors or in the climate-controlled seating inside. The tour last approximately 45 minutes allowing plenty of time for some wildlife spotting, and the boat will get close enough for you to see the dolphins nearby. They can often be spotted as they follow boats coming in and out of the harbor. As well seeing the dolphins in their natural habitat, you can also spot many sea bird species.
Apart from the wildlife you can get great views of the historic harbor of Galveston, and the boats and ships that use the surrounding waterways. Fishing boats, ferry boats, and cruise ships are often spotted. You can also see the Tall Ship, the 'Elissa', and a submarine and destroyer from the Second World War.
The boat and its captain are available for fishing trips or private charters — offering something different for a special birthday celebration, wedding or corporate event.
The tours run daily, from 10.00am, and then on the hour until dark. Prices $10.00 for adults and $5.00 for children (12 and under). All major credit cards are accepted.
