We had an amazing time. Our boat captain was very fun, friendly and knowledgeable. We didn't see whales but saw so many dolphins. They came right up to the boat. We loved it.

We had a marvelous experience. It was a great tour with just seven of us in our family. We saw so many dolphins up close and also a sun fish and a large shark in the distance. It was an incredible day and we will remember this forever. Highly recommended!
