Everything was beautiful! The tour on the way to the boat, the friendly people on the boat, all the staff members and the captain of the boat was extremely nice. My husband really enjoyed driving the boat, that was his biggest highlight. Mine was going down the slide and seeing the dolphins up close.

A Perfect Day - Dolphins Galore!

, May 2022
We want to thank our amazing crew for taking us on our dolphin adventure on the morning of May 3rd! There are so many wonderful things we’d like to comment positively on: The boat was beautiful, clean, and comfortable! We loved being able to hang out on the bow and up top, checking out the views from all angles. The water slide was wicked! The captain (Dani!) and crew were energetic, engaging, and courteous. I was so VERY impressed at how they made an effort to connect with each and every passenger, sharing bite of lore, local information, and encouragement throughout the tour. The energy on this boat was excellent, and I could tell these folks loved their jobs and treat their passengers well as a result! We saw MANY dolphins which, although is not always guaranteed, was a blessing and a wonderful occasion! We saw several pods throughout the tour and got some great photos. Even when we intentionally dropped anchor away from the dolphins to comply with local laws and snorkel, the dolphins briefly came over to to check us swimmers out! Lunch was provided, and our party tried both the chicken and fish which were excellent! Snacks provided were a lovely touch, since we all left our bananas at home. Thank you a million times for an amazing day - my groups was all smiles throughout the experience and we would come back in a heartbeat. I’ve been on many tours, and this one stood out as among the best. Money very well spent!

Magic dolphin sighting. Very professional crew. Not imposing. Entertaining. Informative. Made us feel safe. Snorkelling not the greatest. Bus drive back felt cold and long. Slide was fun. Great experience all together
