Will we see dolphins? We see dolphins most of the time. Since they are in the wild, we can’t always guarantee it, but we work hard and have lots of fun even trying to get them to ride along with us.
What do you offer to drink? We offer unlimited complimentary water, sodas, domestic beer, red & white wine, and "soon to be" famous Parrot Rum Punch! Please feel free to bring anything different you would like to drink in a small cooler for your enjoyment during your tour!
What do you offer to eat? We don’t offer anything to eat on our regular cruises. We encourage you to bring whatever finger foods or snacks you would like to eat.
Is there a restroom on board? Yes. All of our ships have a restroom on board.
Where is the best place to sit to see dolphins Anywhere on the boat can be the best spot. We never know where the dolphins will show up.
What if it rains? We will re-book you on the next available trip of your choice.
What if we need to cancel? We can refund or re-book you if you cancel more than 24 hours before the trip.
Does it get cool at night? Yes, so remember to bring a jacket. When the boat gets moving it can feel a bit cool on cooler evenings.
How many people do the boats hold? ParrotDise Express holds 34 passengers, and the ParrotDise Express II holds 16 (max of 20).
Due to the rising cost of fuel and other supplies, a minimum of 8 total passengers are required for us to run this tour. Please note that if the minimum is not met 24 hours before the scheduled departure time of this tour, you may be contacted to re-schedule, receive a credit, or a full refund.
