Dolphin Quest - a must do at John’s Pass

5.00Today’s Dolphin Quest experience was the best we have had yet. We have been on it at least 10 times over the years and today was the most enjoyable largely due to Kirsten and Captain Jim. They were fun and very knowledgeable. We saw quite a few dolphins and the music playing was just loud enough to be enjoyable without being annoying or distracting. Very affordable drinks and snacks available. Highly recommend!!
Amazing!
