5.00We chartered a private tour and had the pleasure of Captain Cody and Guide Daleth. They carefully explained all the rules for the tour and followed every one of them. The captain skillfully guided us to our shark and then Daleth’s skill took over. At first we all got in the water and got little glimpses. Then Daleth grabbed each of us by the scruff of our wet suit and swam the same speed as the shark up to its head! As she slowed down we could watch the full length of the majestic shark glide past. We even got lucky enough to watch our shark stop and feed for a few minutes. The tour was about 4 hours total from leaving the dock until we started to head back. Worth every penny.
Fantastic experience!

5.00Absolutely incredible experience. Everyone involved including guide, captain, and customer support was top notch and the team went above and beyond to accommodate our cruise arrival. And our guide was amazing with our 10 year old.
