A note about this tour
Currently, there are no mask mandates or capacity limitations in place. You are welcome to wear a mask, but they are not required. We do make a practice of sanitizing the boat between trips, and our Captain and Crew frequently wash their hands.

Overview

Enjoy a one and a half hour South Padre Island Dolphin Watch aboard the newly renovated Murphy's Law and see Atlantic Bottle-nose Dolphins in their natural habitat. During the tour, listen to the interesting and informative narration on the diverse marine life that lives within the waters surrounding South Padre Island. Keep an eye out for a 'pod', which may consist of 10 to 30 dolphins. The guided tour will also include the southernmost U.S. Coast Guard Station, Boca Chica Beach, the current location of Space X, and the South Padre Island Jetties...entryway to the Brownsville Ship Channel where one of the largest Shrimp Fleet calls home. Then end it with a unique view of a beautiful south Texas sunset right there on the water! Also, search for our earlier 10:30am & 1pm times @ "Eco and Dolphin Watch Tour of South Padre Island on Trip Advisor.

It was an extraordinary experience that, together with the knowledge shared by Captain Murphy and the care of his assistant César, achieved an experience like no other. I definitely recommend and will take this tour again when we return to South Padre. Thanks.

The captain did a great job getting the boat to where the dolphins were. And the deckhand was super great as well!

It was an amazing time. The captain really knew how to coax more dolphins out for us to see. He even followed a tanker that had 8 dolphins happily splashing around in front of it.
