We went with Captain Rob and had an amazing experience! He was such a great guide, and we got to see so many dolphins. The best part was that we were the only ones on the boat, which made the whole trip feel even more personal and relaxing. We were also able to swim for a while, which was so much fun. He made sure we were doing exactly what we wanted and made the entire experience enjoyable. We even caught some crabs and saw fish while swimming! I would definitely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great experience!
10/10!!!

Out of everything we did on our trip, this dolphin tour ended up being our favorite memory. We have three kids, and Captain Rob was so kind and caring with them from the moment we stepped on the boat. He kept them comfortable and answered all of their questions, and truly made them feel like part of the adventure. What really stood out to us was how genuine he was. You can tell he loves what he does and cares about the people on his boat. and his sense of humor kept everyone smiling. Not at all awkward like most private tours can be. We also hit some rough waves at one point, and Captain Rob handled them like a pro. As a parent, that meant a lot to me. My oldest daughter got a little scared at one point and because of captain rob was able to feel safe and enjoy the tour! Seeing the dolphins was amazing.. we saw so many & got so close! I’d be lying if I said captain rob wasn’t apart of the fun! Our kids were still talking about him afterward, and that's saying something! If you're thinking about booking a dolphin tour, don't hesitate. This was easily the highlight of our vacation, and we're so grateful for the memories for us as adults and for our kiddos. Thanks again to captain rob!! :)
Great Experience
