The Atlantic Bottle Nosed Dolphins can be seen feeding and playing in the shallow waters of the Bay. Often seen at the mouth of the Bay or feeding at Dolphin Point or, playfully swimming in the tranquil setting of the South Bay Area.

During your tour there may be an ocean going cargo ship and an opportunity to view these magnificent creatures SURFING in the bow swell of the ships in route to or from The Port of Brownsville.
