Sunny, fun day, dolphins!! - The trip was great, we were so lucky to have ideal weather! We saw mum and baby dolphins, a sea turtle and other fish! Being out on the water was amazing and we had the guides with us at all times, showing us where to go and to help if needed. Also had photographs taken if wanted. We were allowed to get out for a swim which was nice, we seen lots of nice areas and it was well worth the trip, would definitely recommend! Thanks again!
