Historic Harbor Tours and Dolphin Watch, Galveston

About Historic Harbor Tours and Dolphin Watch

Historic Harbor Tours and Dolphin Watch operates from Galveston's Historic Seaport, where visitors board the Seagull II, a 50-foot twin-engine motor vessel built specifically for harbor sightseeing and education. The one-hour tours depart multiple times daily and take passengers through Galveston Harbor to observe dolphins in their natural habitat while learning about the area's maritime history. The Coast Guard-certified vessel features a comfortable sheltered main deck protecting guests from sun and rain, plus an open upper deck offering panoramic views of the water and sky. The boat's fully licensed operators provide knowledgeable narration about the harbor's history and wildlife. Evening sunset harbor cruises offer a different perspective of the same waters. The attraction also accommodates school groups and field trips, allowing students to explore nearly two centuries of Galveston's history reflected in its shoreline and vessels. Private charters are available for birthday parties, office gatherings, and special events. Tours operate Tuesday through Sunday, with hours and ticket information available on the venue's website.
