The Original Dolphin Watch

About us

Tne of the most unique activities on South Padre Island is the dolphin watching tour.
South Texas is a year-round home to several large pods of dolphin and The Original Dolphin Watch is your ticket to viewing them in all their natural splendor.  One of the most memorable activities you will take part in while visiting South Padre is a cruise with us.
Share the thrill of meeting bottle-nose and spinner dolphins in the wild and experience the unique bond and kinship they inspire in mankind.
Trips leave daily from the Sea Ranch Marina. Enjoy sunshine and salt air along with refreshments and an educational presentation aboard the 60′ tour boat The Double Sunshine or the 50′ boat the Diver I.
ECO TOUR
An Eco-Tour is an add-on to our dolphin watch tour. During the tour our crew will drag a small net along the bottom of the bay and collect a sample of marine life. They will then have a presentation on the boat of the marine life that they find, then continue on watching for dolphin. An Eco-Tour is a fun and educational tour for all ages. All marine life collected during the tour will be safely released back into the water.
