5.00Wonderful family friendly experience!! Captain has much knowledge and keeps everyone smiling! ...We did experience a jet skier that was rude on the water yet, Captain and first mate took their job seriously and keeping safety first took appropriate action to make sure they were reported! Great job! Continued tour 💯 professionally! We will be back!!!

5.00The captain and first mate were entertaining and very knowledgeable. The book with unique dolphins and their names and bond partners was fascinating and fun. We saw several dolphins up close and each were known by name by our first mate! The cruise itself was comfy and spacious, smooth and peaceful with island music in the background for the island vibe, which I love. They even offered to take family photos with our own devices. Great experience and great value.
