Dolphin Safari Q&A

Eric, Alexandra & Teona

A Family, A Dream &

A Pod of Dolphins

We’re Eric, Alexandra, and our little ocean explorer Teona — the Canadian family behind Dolphin Safari Charters. What started as a dream to swap snow boots for flip-flops turned into an adventure that brought us from Canada to the turquoise waters of Key West.

Our very first Key West dolphin watching tours here changed everything, and now we’ve built a life sharing that same magic with you.

Every trip we run is no crowds, personal, family-driven, packed with the joy of wild dolphins, stunning sandbars, and ocean air that clears the soul. Want to know how it all began?
