Dolphin fun! - It was great! We saw a lot of dolphins! The only thing I will say is that it was about to storm and it was lightning and I feel like the captain didn’t end the tour sooner. We had already saw a lot of dolphins at the point so me and a few others were kind of anxious and ready to get off the water with it lightning that bad. We were safe in the end and it was a fun!

The boat is large and it... - The boat is large and it was packed with people (Memorial Day weekend). Our group of 6 did not get to sit together but it was fine. We saw lots of swimming dolphins and rays jumping. The captain narrated during our sail and was funny and informative. The boat ride was smooth.
