3.00Unfortunately we didn’t see any dolphins on our tour. We were taken to a spot where the seals & gannets live so we did see those animals. The speaker system on the boat did not work well so we could not hear what the guide was saying . Nice enough boat ride but I wouldn’t go again.
Best 90 min cruise you can do

5.00This cruise was the best thing we could have done. We travelled with our 5 and 8 yr old kiddos. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Be sure to make your way to the front deck to enjoy the most of this cruise.
