Baywatch Dolphin Tours

Baywatch Dolphin Tours runs boat trips from Galveston Harbor to watch the local Atlantic bottlenose dolphins, with narrated tours that also cover the harbor's history. Most trips run about 45 minutes, and the company also offers sunset tours, historic harbor tours and haunted harbor tours. The boats have enclosed, heated cabins and open 360-degree views, and dogs are welcome aboard.

The business has been operating from Pier 21 since 2005, in front of the Harbor House Hotel and a couple of blocks from the Strand District. Tickets and gift cards can be bought online, and check-in is 30 minutes before departure. Refunds or exchanges need 24 hours' notice. The company also books private events and party boats, and offers services for Celebration of Life ceremonies.
