5.00We did a private sunset tour and were lucky to have Captain Mike. We saw dolphins, the girls got to help guide the boat, and we ended the tour with a gorgeous sunset. Highly recommend as the whole process was seamless and easy!
Lovely!

5.00Bring pants and a coat for evening cruise. This is a really good time. We saw dozens of playful dolphins who sometimes followed the boat. The sunset cruise had a brilliant setting sun. Captain Mike was highly entertaining and first mate Jake very friendly and helpful. Tour management kept in touch via text to advise of traffic issues and because of their updates we avoided delays and got there on time.
