Worthwhile dolphin cruise - Watching dolphins up close was amazing. Kirstin identified them and gave us a lot of fun facts. It was a little chilly and there were blankets for us! Also beverages and snacks were available.

Perfect for my 4 year old, but they offer drinks too! - My four year old daughter absolutely loved it! Steve and Kiersten were great. Steve went where the dolphins were and we learned so much of Kiersten’s knowledge about dolphins! We loved it! Definitely recommend. Low key, chill, not too expensive, not too long, a lot of fun.

🐬 Dolphin cruise - The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and she and the Captain were quite entertaining. I was expecting to see more dolphins though. This tour was priced very well. Glad it had adult beverages aboard.
