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!

WE LOVED THIS TOUR SO MUCH!!! My wife and I took this tour on a chilly day. Too cold for the crew to drop the eco net, so we just saw a bunch of dolphins and traveled around the Laguna Madre and out into the gulf. It was SO MUCH FUN! The captain and crew were fantastic. Lots of information and silly jokes. I challenge anyone to find a better, more entertaining value. Only $15 for a full 90 minutes. So incredible. We liked it so much, we signed up for a fishing excursion and tour of Port Brownsville before we head back home. Do this! You will love it. Everyone on our boat was all smiles.

This was one of the most worthwhile things I’ve done on vacation! Definitely a must do in South Padre. The captain was great - gave info during the ride and played some hype music!! We saw many dolphins throughout from a small distance and then near the end, multiple dolphins were swimming right next to boat, jumping above the water…. It was truly magical and I will have that memory forever. Highly recommend doing it during sunset. 90 mins for only $15??? That’s the best deal ever.

This is a must do!! My family & I had so much fun & to see the dolphins was amazing! The captain was so funny & very informative. Good music was also a plus. It’s also 3rd generation owned which is awesome in its own plus very reasonably priced.

One of the best family trips we have ever taken! Capt. Murphy was amazing and full of dad jokes that will keep everyone laughing! The dolphins were ready to shine on the big stage and they delivered! The trip around the gulf and down some intercoastal waterways was full of great info and wildlife. My girls are still talking about it today. It was great to interact with the other sightseers as a few of us were jamming to some old school tunes thanks to Capt. Murphy. This is a must do for all SPI vacationers and very very affordable! Thank you for the memories!!

We are a family of four with a 4-year-old and a 2-year-old, and we loved it! 90 minutes was a little too long for our youngest, but fortunately we saw a lot of dolphins and that kept him pretty entertained.
