Even though we didn’t get lucky with dolphins, the tour was still fantastic. Matt and Kayden were so knowledgeable and personable that it made the trip. Thanks to both for a wonderful experience!

I'm a little late getting around to review this experience, sorry! My husband and I had a blast on this dolphin kayak tour!! The tour guide was really personable and knowledgeable, and we got to paddle right next to a pod of dolphins.. it was for sure a workout, but so worth it! It was really important to me that we choose a tour that wouldn't harm the wildlife. This one was perfect!

Unfortunately, there was a threat of thunderstorms that delayed our start, but once we got going all was well. The waves were about a foot high which made paddling more of an exercise but still very enjoyable. We did see a couple if schools of dolphins at a distance which was beautiful. Thank you to our guides who were very friendly and patient.

Seeing the dolphins! Our two tour guides were informative and friendly. I will likely return when my two kids are older so that they can enjoy this.
