The hubs and I tried a sunset cruise last week on our trip to the OBX. The captain was fun and informative and we saw a few dolphins. It is well worth the money at two hours long with a good tour of the area. We will definitely do it again when we are back next year.

A great sunset cruise last night. The captain was informative and very funny. Learned a lot not only about dolphins but also the Outer Banks. Great price for what we got. Will recommend Captain Johnny’s and will do it again on our next visit!

My family and I have enjoyed this particular company for several years now. We always see dolphins. The Captain is very knowledgable and entertaining. The boat is spacious, clean and shaded. I highly recommend Outer Banks Cruises A.K.A. Captain Johnny’s Dolphin Tour.

We made reservations for a small group of us to go on a dolhpin tour. About an hour and a half before the cruise started we had to change our reservation #. They agreed and had no problem with this. About ¾ the way down there from Carola we recieved a phone call that they had to cancel the remaining reservations because they had sold them. They were extremely rude and didnt care that we told them we were on our way to there location. Would not reommend this company ever!

Nice way to spend an afternoon. After beach, sand, sun, beach, sand, sun, it was a nice break to do something different. Our neighbors at the house we rented suggested dolphin watching and recommended Capt. Stuart Wescott and his tour. Wasn’t too happy that I had to travel down to Manteo(car travel in the Outer Banks can be murder — worst than the GW bridge in rush hour). Luckily, it wasn’t as bad as I had feared. The quaint little town of Manteo was an added bonus. Nice seaport-esque village with nice quaint little stores. As for the cruise itself, you actually sail with Capt Wescott. He was very nice and knowledgeable. Told silly jokes to keep the voyage light hearted. Sold drinks at a very reasonable price. The bathroom was also very convenient and clean. Strangely, this seems to be a selling point compared to their competitors. Saw many dolphins. Very docile and peaceful. Don’t expect any flips or spins or twists. This isn’t a SeaWorld show. The captain was very patient. Kept us out there a while until everyone had their fill of watching dolphins swim. After the initial excitement of finding and seeing the dolphins, there’s only so much more you can watch, at least for me. On the downside, it is a touch expensive for a ferry ride but comparable to everyone else. Overall, a nice alternative If you need a break from the beach to let the sunburn recover.
