Dolphins galore on a cool autumn afternoon. - Two of us live locally, but we still enjoyed the stunning dolphins. We were lucky to see over 30 (I actually lost count). Some swim right alongside the boat, beautiful creatures.

Love the Dolphins - we saw so many dolphins and our friends from the UK were very impressed. The commentating was truly fantastic, that young lady has a good gift. This has been our 2nd trip within 3 weeks as we have had rellies over from the Eastern states, and they thoroughly enjoyed it.

Best Dolphin experience ever, great trip with a fish and chip lunch for $14 each - Amazing experience with a pod of bottle nose dolphins following us for at least 10 minutes and a very tasty and excellent fish and chip lunch provided for $14 each. Would highly recommend, we’ve done this trip several times before but this was by far the best experience with dolphins.
