Looking for a relaxing day on the water with friends and family? Come hop on the "Packery Queen" and join us in a dolphin expedition where you will not only go looking for our native dolphin friends, but you will learn a bit about our island. With the design of our boat you are able to get a full 360 degree view of the area without ever having to leave your seat. Our captains are interactive with our guests and love to entertain the kiddos.

If you are looking for something a bit more "romantic" or scenic, hop on for our amazing sunset island loop. Don't worry, you still get the chance to see dolphins, but you will see more of our island, including homes and other wildlife, and you will learn vast history of our piece of paradise. You will end the evening watching the sun set over the water. Our captain will stop and let you take pictures or even PROPOSE!

And don't forget, you can bring a small cooler with your favorite beverages, including alcohol, and snacks.
We also do private boat rental for any party you may have.

So hop on the "Packery Queen" and make some amazing summer memories with us on the water!
