The dolphin sightseeing was very good. We saw lots of dolphins and we enjoyed it very much. However, the snorkeling was very disappointing. I didn’t see any fish at all. It was my kids first time snorkeling and we were hoping this would be one of the highlights of our trip… but it just wasn’t.

What a wonderful boat trip with seeing lots of dolphin activity, sitting on top of the boat, followed by jumping/sliding in to water for a much needed swim. My only wish would’ve been at having more snorkeling location options. I know the water was rough, but could it help to find some alternative snorkeling locations that are more isolated?

This was an amazing day. We had the most surreal experience 12 miles out to sea in the middle of a HUGE pod of dolphins. Was one of the most beautiful things any of us will ever see and we’ll never forget it! Thank you!!
