    I really enjoyed the scenery, it was very peaceful and adventurous , I was able to see some dolphins which was the high light of my day. The captain was amazing as well as his crew. I would love to do it again.

    Such a fabulous trip. We did get to see dolphins but they were being a little illusive and not swimming too close to the boat. We held all kinds of sea life, starfish, stingrays and shrimp. Both Eric and the Captain were very informative and knowledgeable about the local area and the sea creatures. Our little group all agreed that the boat trip alone was well worth the money, the dolphins and the eco life were an added bonus. Would 100% recommend Thank you
