Perched on the Gulf Coast, Galveston, Texas, offers a distinctive blend of maritime history, wildlife encounters, and chilling local lore.

Whether you’re drawn to the playful dolphins that frequent Galveston’s harbor or the eerie past that seeps into its historic streets, BayWatch has a tour tailored to ignite your sense of adventure.

The signature Dolphin Tours are a highlight, praised for their frequent dolphin sightings even during shorter 45-minute trips. Guided by personable captains like Ben and Z, these tours combine fun narration, local history, and up-close wildlife viewing.

Another side of BayWatch’s offerings leans into Galveston’s rich, mysterious history with their Haunted Harbor Tours and the Haunted Mayfield Manor experience. After sundown, the Haunted Harbor Tour reveals coastal ghost stories with firsthand insight from guides knowledgeable about the Gulf’s maritime past and shipwreck lore. Paired with the immersive Haunted Mayfield Manor escape rooms or the Pirates! Legends of the Gulf Coast escape experience, visitors get an interactive dive into local legends and seafaring tales.

For those seeking a more private outing, the newly available Private Charter grants flexibility to custom-craft your own day afloat or night-time adventure. The combination packages like Mayfield Manor/Pirates of the Gulf Coast cater to enthusiasts wanting a fuller experience.
