Our Family fun day - We enjoyed it very much! My daughter mentioned, this one trip was her best! Angie and the Captains made it fun and enjoyable! We saw a school of dolphins swimming right in front of us, Angie was quick to offer to take our pictures and we all felt like family by the end of the trip! It was very interactive and enjoyable! The weather was perfect for 3pm trip.

Spectacular! - A group of 6 friends took this trip and we were all thrilled with the experience! Captain and crew were wonderful, saw tons of dolphins, even close to the boat! Couldn’t have enjoyed this more, the beautiful sunset was the perfect way to end the trip! Book with Isla tours, you won’t regret it!
