Fun boat ride and lots of dolphins! - We went on the one hour dolphin cruise on New Year’s Day with my family and had a great time. We saw so many dolphins! The price was so worth the experience!

Awesome tour - This was an awesome experience. The staff very friendly and polite. The staff was very informative on the tour. Explained all the sights. I liked how they gave the group time to view the dolphins and other areas. I did like how they had sea life on the boat for additional viewing. The only suck part is that with everyone surrounding him it was hard to see, but he was really great and gave everyone a chance to hold the animals. Overall I would definitely do this tour again, and others should try it to.
